All Nainah Omar ever felt for him was pure, unfiltered hatred.

Every encounter ended the same way - sharp words, heated arguments, or her dumping responsibilities on him out of spite, leaving him confused... and strangely amused. She never tried to understand him. She never wanted to.

What Nainah didn't know was that he wasn't one.

There were two of him.

And she unluckily kept colliding with the wrong twin. The innocent one. The bearer of her anger. The man who paid for wounds he never caused.

Fresh out of a relationship that had chipped away at her peace, Nainah wanted nothing more than simplicity. Grounded in faith, and shaped by an Arewa upbringing, she had learned to love restraint, dignity, and a life far away from noise. Though she came from wealth, she rejected the spotlight - fiercely.

Until her world shifted.

The day she discovers the truth - that they are twins, and not just any twins, but two of the richest and most eligible bachelors in town - her carefully guarded heart begins to crack.

One twin was calm, patient, and quietly enduring-easy in his kindness, steady in his presence.

The other was nonchalant to the point of cruelty. Cold. Provoking. Always in her space, always testing the fragile edges of her self-control

And as hatred begins to blur into something dangerously close to love, Nainah is forced to confront more than just her feelings - she must face her healing, her faith, and the fear of falling again.

Can the heart always remain halal when temptation refuses to leave?

This is a story of loss, pain, and quiet healing,
of love born from resentment,
and of a woman torn between two identical faces... and two very different hearts.All Rights Reserved

The days we didn't know by maryam_d

Hi, this is completely a fictional story about khadija and Muhammad's love story. They didn't fall in love at first sight... in fact, they weren't even meant to. It all started with an arrangement, a decision made for them by their parents but of course with their consents. Muhammad was distant, calm, unreadable... the kind of man whose silence says more than words. While Khadija was soft, patient, the kind of woman who could love quietly and still burn for him in every heartbeat. Days turned into months, cold glances into accidental warmth, and somewhere between her unspoken hopes and hidden feelings, love began to bloom... messy, confusing, but real. He wasn't easy to love, and she wasn't easy to forget. Together they became something rare... a story that feels like home and heartbreak at the same time. But love like this... it never comes without a price. This story isn't just about marriage. It's about timing, fate, and the kind of love that refuses to die... even when one of them might. 💌Author's Note Hey, I'm Maryam. This isn't my first time writing, but it's the first story I'm sharing here. It's close to my heart... a mix of love, pain, patience, and everything in between. I hope you feel something real while reading it. Have fun reading it lovelies💞

He pours his heart into winning her affection, navigating the delicate balance of faith and love. As he opens up to her about his beliefs, he hopes to bridge the gap between them. Will Manar find a way to see beyond her initial disdain? Can love blossom in the unlikeliest of circumstances?

FLAWS by _Axeemah_

This story follows the lives of two prestigious Northern families-one that earned its place, and one that can't afford to lose it. Salma Babajo-skillfully veiled, conflicted, and fiercely proud-has always idolized her father. But he lives by one rule: if you burn the midnight oil to secure something, you hold onto it by hook or by crook. Salma wears her last name like a badge, oblivious to the cracks beneath; until the secrets start to surface. Kabir Yabo is everything Salma is not-reserved, steady, and willing to bend to societal expectations. He tiptoes through life, careful not to step out of line. They have nothing in common... except for a fate neither of them sees coming. But what happens when the perfect son collides with the girl who plays by her own rules? And when what's expected threatens to overpower what's real? Will they fight to protect the illusion they were raised to uphold-or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan?

Maryam Nazeef (Unedited) by uzleeferth

Maryam Nazeef Danbatta is the crown jewel of the Danbatta legacy. Surrounded by five overprotective brothers and a father whose name commands the very soil of Kano, her life is a beautiful, velvet-lined cage. At twenty, her world is defined by lecture halls, family traditions at her grandmother's estate, and the silent understanding that she is "too delicate" for the world outside. She is safe. She is loved. She is invisible to danger. Then there is Khalil. Cold, brilliant, and devastatingly powerful, Khalil is the son of a political dynasty and the only man the Danbatta lions truly respect. He has been a fixture in Maryam's life for years...a silent, arrogant shadow who barely acknowledges her existence. To Maryam, he is the "Ice King," a man too high on his own pedestal to notice a girl like her. But behind Khalil's chilling indifference lies a calculation years in the making. He hasn't been ignoring her; he's been waiting. Waiting for her to grow up. Waiting for the right move. Waiting to dismantle the very walls her brothers built to keep him out. In a world where reputation is everything and family is law, can a quiet obsession turn into a "halal" happily ever after? Or will the secrets Khalil carries burn down the fortress Maryam calls home?
