"Jamiliah! Come back and -"
"You know what? No. And it's Jamie. Don't call me Jamiliah ever again. I'm done here." And with that, I left. Not allowing my mother to have the final say.
"I'm done here." I whispered again, my heart drumming in my chest. 

Although I knew deep down she had probably yelled at me to come back or stormed after me but in my head, I had the last say and it felt refreshing to say the least. 

I didn't know where I was going or what I was doing. I just followed my gut - and my gut was telling me to just get away from this place as fast as possible. 

That was when I was 18.
-
It's been four years since Jamiliah has seen her parents or her family. But now, looking back at the past she realises that she should reconcile with her family. Living on her own and trying to make a life for herself, Jamiliah has struggled with all sorts. 

What happens when her past comes back to haunt her? 
Will her family accept the new her? Will they take her back?

This book is open to read for all! :)
WARNING: The main girl in the story is Muslim and the story includes Islam however, it is NOT a perfect representation nor is this a story about what Islam is about. Islam is perfect whereas it's believers are not. I hope you understand. 

Enjoy.

He was going to ask me something stupid, I could feel it. I crossed my arms and waited for his question. "You can take your headscarf off as soon as we're married, right? I mean, we are married then." He said taking another step forward. He suddenly grabbed me by my waist, pulling me towards him. He stared into my eyes holding me with a huge strength I could never compete with. It was at that moment I could smell a faint smell of alcohol on his breath.

MANAL by deey_jah

A few minutes into the walk, I heard footsteps shuffling behind me. I tensed up and halted in my tracks. My heart began to pound violently in my chest. I felt too afraid to even do anything. I stayed glued to my spot, but that didn't stop the footsteps from approaching. Mustering all of the courage left in me, I spun around and to my utmost horror, two men - more like thugs were standing just few inches away from me. Ya Allah, please protect me! I don't want to die like this. I spun back around and started walking, my pace increasing rapidly. "Hey! Where the f*** do you think you're going, bit**" One of the men slurred. By the tone of his voice, I could tell he was tipsy or high. The rate of my fear intensified. MANAL ❤ ©2019

©️ 2017. Original written in 2016/2017. Highest Ranking #2 on What's Hot list- Spiritual .. Imagine being in a type of house where you're banned from dating, having two choices: 1.

Guilted: Wars Against The Past (Editing) by froward

The things I knew that were once unethical, were bound to be saintly. The dreams I dreamt once upon a time, seemed to be an epitome of nightmares. The heart I thought I stole long ago, always belonged to someone else. The crimes I have committed all my life, became a handful of lessons that I ought to learn. The world I looked up to once, became a mortal enemy of mine. The family I thought would disown me, fought my battles for me. The life I never imagined I'd live, sadly it became a life I'd rather live than die. Lastly, the guilt I carried in me for the each and every second of my living, was a poison spreading and gradually banishing everything around me. Clearly, I was bounded by the past! Never have I imagined for the galaxy of guilt in me to steadily transform into a matter of great; Love. No, it wasn't for my dead sister, or for the woman I once claimed to love, or for my money-grubbing father, or even for the woman who was destined for me. Majestically, it was for Someone who I never ever thought it would be for; My Maker. Well, it's mind-blowing how the ugliest of matters bring out the most beautiful of articles! -Guilt is a gift from Allah, warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 22/12/2017, 7:15 pm.

I was speechless, my mind has betrayed me, I just stood there starring at him as he ran away, I couldn't even ask him to stop or come back for me, he just ran away, like a prey from a predator, and I felt guilty about it, he was my victim.

Beloved by myloveforwords

**Part of Preloved Series- Can be read as a stand-alone** You don't have to read Preloved in order to read this book. You can read this story on its own but my personal advice would be to read Preloved first if you haven't already, but it's completely up to you guys! ---------------------------- Hamza and Ayat had been living two different and wholly disconnected lives. They are not easy, they are not simple, and they most definitely don't agree on most things...then why are their paths colliding? Can two broken souls be woven together in love that is both pure and real? And if so, how far can you go for the one you love? ---------------------------- 'You hate me?' He gripped my wrist harder. 'You are hurting me Mr.Hamza...' I swallowed back my resentment. His grip loosened around my wrist, but he didn't let me go completely. There were so many emotions twirling in my chest that I felt like my heart was going to explode. 'And you are hurting me, do you think that I planned to fall in...' He let go of me and looked away. I needed to get away from him, I turned around to go back to my room, but he grabbed my hand again and made me look at him. 'I am sorry' He said out of despair, his eyes darted all over my face waiting for my reply. He looked so vulnerable as opposed to a second ago when his eyes were full of rage. I couldn't move.

A Promise From My Heart by Queen_of_blooms

In the mundane, ordinary details that gave meaning to his life, she was in the background as his friend's younger sister. Nothing of much significance and notice. But it was just a matter of time before a serendipitous series of events interweaved, sketched and painted her fate into his. Their bland and irrelevant conversations became soulful. In their secret meetings, they shared their woes, the aches in their hearts, the most fatal of their flaws, their greatest victories and soon, the flutter that had began in the core of their beings. There was comfort in being together and a calm that grips their souls in the presence of each other. It took little courage, many inhalations and exhalations of air and break out of cold sweat for Yusuf to confess his feelings, reveal their relationship and lay down his intention to tie the knot with his friend's younger sister, Amatullah. In their marital life, they rebirth, reformed and evolved. This profound feeling brought luminance to their souls and they reflected on each other like the brilliance of a thousand stars. Then one tragic incident changed it all. He lost his mother. She lost their pregnancy and went into denial. His family was thrown into a mess by the loss. Souls were bruised. Hearts were broken. And their relationship was affected. Everything he did to save them proofed to be futile. Their once bright sky had become be-darkened with grief. The embers of his soul couldn't even illuminate hers. The whole incident left him with a trail of questions. One of them was, will this make or break their marriage?
