All of The Girls
She knew he'd been in love before. Not just once, not just in passing. Real, deep, messy love. And maybe that should've been her sign to keep her distance. To not let herself feel too much. But instead, it made her pause. Because the way he talked about them-the girls before her- it wasn't bitter. It wasn't dramatic. It was quiet. Thoughtful. Almost gentle. He remembered birthdays, late-night calls, stupid little details no one else would hold on to. He loved them well. Or at least, he tried. And that's what messed her up. Because it made her want to fall even harder. And at the same time, it made her want to run. She wasn't afraid of his past. She was afraid that someone like him-someone who had already given so much-might not have anything left for her. Or worse, that he would love her the same way. And she'd fall for it, just like they did. And end up as another name he says gently, years, from now.
Brutally yours
To the quiet girls with stormy hearts. To the boys who feel too much but show too little. To those who were never chosen first - but loved like they were the last. This story is for the unseen, the unheard, the untamed. For every soul who thought they were "too soft" for this world - and found someone who didn't just see their softness, but protected it with fire. For anyone who still believes that love isn't always gentle - but when it's real, it is brutally honest, brutally fierce, and brutally yours. And most of all - To the one who dreams loud in silence: This is your story. You just haven't lived it yet.Complete
In Allah's Light
"In the midst of heartache, there comes a moment of questioning-a moment when life seems too heavy to bear, and faith feels like a distant memory. The tale of the journey of a young woman who, after losing her parents, finds herself lost in grief, anger, and a deep sense of abandonment. She turns her back on Allah, consumed by the pain of her loss, unable to understand why her world has fallen apart. But the journey doesn't end there. As time passes, she begins to find herself, piece by piece. Her path to healing is long and filled with doubt, yet in the quietest of moments, she finds Allah again. Slowly, she starts to understand that faith isn't about perfection-it's about believing even when you don't have all the answers. It's about trusting that Allah's plan is greater than our pain, and that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone. Along the way, a love story begins to unfold-one that shows her that there is still beauty in the world, even after loss. She meets a man who is a single father, carrying his own burdens, but through their connection, they discover a love that's built on trust, patience, and a shared understanding of life's trials. This story is for anyone who has ever felt lost, anyone who has questioned their faith, and anyone who has wondered if love can truly heal the heart. It's a reminder that no matter how far we stray, there's always a way back to Allah. And sometimes, the most unexpected moments lead us to the most beautiful of places.

Project Muslimah [COMPLETED]
Islam. Only one word, but more than twenty percent of the population. At least one fifth of this whole entire world is Muslim. But yet there are some who don't know anything about them, despite being a Muslim themselves. Among these people is an Afghan Muslim girl whose name is Amarah Sahar. She is seventeen years old, a senior in high school. She was born and raised in Canada with an Afghan background. Amarah has lived her life thinking that life is all about people not religion. She's never even wondered what the word Allah meant until she met the man who mistakenly changes her life. She wasn't snobby, she wasn't a girly-girl and neither was she a good girl. She was the most popular girl in school. She was lazy, immensely dense and had incredibly bad habits . But with that she was also funny, teasing and loud. No one ever saw her as a threat. She was an only child with parents that spent two-thirds of their life working and only one-third living with Amarah. They failed to educate Amarah and give her support. But when a 22 year old student teacher enters the school and sees Amarah's bad habits, he won't forget and neither will he forgive so easily for what she has done and what she continues doing. Out of all the people who cut her some slack, he isn't any of them. Will this Islam-loving, strict but sincere teacher ever show Amarah the true light of Islam?Complete
