During Stories

He went to war. She stayed behind. Their love lived between the letters. Before the battlefield, there was a promise. A promise to come home. Through long nights, uncertain days, and the weight of a war that neither of them could control, a husband writes to the woman he loves most-his beloved Evelyn. Every letter carries a piece of him: memories of home, whispered dreams for their future, fear he refuses to admit, and a love strong enough to cross the distance between them. And Evelyn writes back. While the world around them changes, their letters become the only place where they can still be together. But war has a way of changing people. And sometimes, the hardest part of loving someone isn't waiting for them to come home... It's wondering if they ever will. To My Beloved, From War is a collection of fictional wartime love letters about love, longing, faith, separation, and the promises we make to the people we hope to see again. Some love stories are told in moments. This one is told in letters. - Tay Faye 🕊️

Tawaf is a sacred ritual performed by Muslims during Hajj and Umrah, where they walk around the Kaaba, the black cube-shaped building in the center of Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The story of Tawaf dates back to the time of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael). Allah commanded Ibrahim to build the Kaaba as the first house of worship for mankind. After they completed the construction, Allah instructed them to purify it and call people to worship there. As part of this worship, Allah ordained Tawaf, which means to go around. Muslims walk seven times counterclockwise around the Kaaba, showing unity, devotion, and the eternal connection with God. It symbolizes the oneness of God and the equality of all believers, as everyone wears simple white clothing and walks together in humility. The act of Tawaf reminds Muslims that their lives should revolve around Allah, just as the planets revolve in their orbits - constant, balanced, and with purpose.
