Haya Mohamed is not your typical 21-year-old Muslim girl. Her personality is like a Tsunami; it hits you like a tidal wave when you get to know her. She sees her life through her camera lens and makes each picture a life teaching lesson and story. Haya was anything but normal. She was a book that was known to all, yet unknown. She had an unusual vibrant, bright soul, which reminded her of a chameleon; no fixed destination, just an inner indecisiveness as wide as the wavering ocean, wondering where she belonged.
Her search for new adventures were as unknown as the paths she takes. With a passion for traveling, a burning need to make a change in the world and an undying love for her family, Haya, is a lovable and huggable soul, just like the Pandas that she adores.
Amr Azeem is just another young lad living his life to his own tune. Venturing on a journey of making a name for himself at a young age, Amr now at the age of 26 has established himself in a job that not many Muslim men follow. Living an independent and single life away from the city, his love for his family and friends is a light that guides him through his life. A laid back, fun, scheduled life, Amr had a soul that was bright as the blaring sun, yet one that hadn't been fully discovered.
Watching all his friends settled down in life, the need to call someone his own was strong. Yet, busy with work and his passion for sports, Amr continued to tell himself he had it all in life. But did he? Would Amr find that someone who would be the missing piece in his puzzle?
Haya knew she had it all in her life, yet, the need to belong to someone was one she was yet to achieve.
Amr would ignore the little voice inside him, which was telling him to find someone to call his own. Will he find that someone who would change the status quo of his life?
Will these two souls cross path and make a spark and create their story?
Will they have their own once upon a Qadr?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
