Cracked Souls

Bilaal has carried grief like armor since he was a boy. Orphaned in an accident, he grew up with his Chachaa. Broad-built and hard-eyed - a man the world presumes tough but who secretly gives his last to anyone in need. He's not deeply religious, but he never misses his salaah. Between duty and distance, Bilaal just wants to be loved... and his soul is cracked from trying.

Aleena was once her parents' pride. The apple of her mother's eye, the fruit of her father's heart. She grew up in a home that radiated spirituality and warmth. Then her father was diagnosed with a deadly illness, and grief stole her. Instead of running to Allaah, Aleena ran from Him. The deen, the morals, the girl she used to be... all of it slipped through her fingers like sand.

When their paths collide, two broken people meet. He's tough on the outside, soft on the inside. She's drowning where she used to float. One holds onto salaah like a lifeline. The other let go of everything.

Can love survive when one is praying and the other is lost?
Or will Allah's mercy be the third thread that ties their cracked souls together?

A story of grief, growth, and the kind of love that doesn't fix you... but brings you back to the One who can.
