About the Book - Intertwined by Destiny
Intertwined by Destiny is a romantic, faith-centered novel that blends love, culture, and emotional healing into one unforgettable journey.
Set across Nigeria, London, Dubai, Paris, and South Korea, the story follows Zaitoon Abdullah bint Umar, a gentle, blind woman whose strength lies in her faith and quiet resilience, and Ammar, a man shaped by abandonment, emotional scars, and a past he rarely speaks of. Brought together through an arranged marriage, their union begins with formality and uncertainty-but destiny has far greater plans for them.
Through shared prayers, cultural traditions, family bonds, playful teasing, and moments of deep vulnerability, their relationship slowly transforms into a love rooted in patience, respect, and devotion. Ammar becomes Zaitoon's guide and protector, while Zaitoon becomes Ammar's healing-bringing light into the parts of his life he thought would remain broken forever.
The novel beautifully highlights:
Islamic values and the sanctity of marriage
Hausa and cultural traditions
The power of family and sisterhood
Love that grows through compassion, not perfection
Faith as a source of strength in the face of fear
A pivotal medical journey challenges Zaitoon's courage and tests Ammar's faith, leading to a powerful transformation that symbolizes hope, healing, and divine timing.
Intertwined by Destiny is not just a love story-it is a story of trusting Allah's plan, of finding light after darkness, and of two souls meant to meet, heal, and grow together.
A tender, emotional read filled with warmth, laughter, tears, and unwavering love. 💛
