Shadia N.

There is khayr in everything, but the heart needs īmān to see it. The same situation can feel like a burden to one person and a blessing to another. Rain may ruin your plans, but it can bring you closer to duʿā. Losing something may hurt, but it can protect you from what you could not see. Even a restless night can become a moment where you turn back to Allāh and speak to Him sincerely.
          
          Life is not always easy, but nothing is without purpose. Every difficulty, every delay, every small moment carries something good within it, even if it takes time to understand. When you start looking at life through īmān, you stop asking “why is this happening to me?” and start trusting that there is khayr being written for you in every moment.
          
          May Allāh give us hearts that see the good in everything and trust Him even when we don’t understand.

Salam alaykom ❤️ 
          Can I translate one of your novels into Arabic and publish it under the name of its original author, which is you, please?

Salam! How are you doing? 
          
          I hope it is okay to share my story, Scarred. 
          
          What happens when faith itself becomes rebellion, survival means sacrifice, and love feels like a risk too dangerous to take?
          If you enjoy dystopian worlds, complicated characters, and slow-burn romance in the midst of chaos, I’d be so grateful if you gave it a read and let me know what you think.

Salaams everyone!
          
          Feels like I haven’t been on this page forever and I hope you know I haven’t forgotten about my books. 
          
          First some announcements.
          
          1. LTP and Lovebirds are my current work in progress books. They will be updated sporadically because life got busy and hectic and America is not making any of this easier T-T
          
          2. I’m in the process of publishing Bookworms InShaaAllah. I’m still in the editing phases of it which also got delayed due to 2025 being extremely stressful for me.
          
          Okay, now moving on to where I have been. 2025 was not an easy year for me and in some ways I am still recovering from it but it also gave me my greatest blessing.
          
          I’m excited to share that I have a baby girl Alhamdulilah!
          
          Early 2025, I suffered another miscarriage which crushed me. Miscarriages take time to heal and I was stuck in a physical limbo while also dealing with grief. I found out I was expecting later but it quickly turns into a very stressful pregnancy with a lot of anxiety and fear. 
          
          That combination of being high-risk and wondering if I’d ever get to hold my own baby threw me into an emotional turmoil that didn’t seem to release me until she was born. I couldn’t bring myself to write about my characters when I felt like I was drowning in my own life.
          
          But Alhamdulilah even with all the complications, she was born healthy and I’m recovering well. I’m only about a month out from giving birth so still have more recovery to do but I wanted to spend my maternity leave enjoying my baby <3 please make duaa for her! 
          
          Although I didn’t write on this platform, I was writing about my experience privately and will probably share it on my author socials as a way to get back into writing. I missed you all! 

Salaam 
          Happy New Year
          When are you updating LTP?
          Kansas and Tanwir are my favorite couple 
          

Salaam, are you planning on publishing life under the hijab? I want to have it as a print book, since I loved it as a teen 

Slms
          I know you're probably going through alot personality but are you planning to update Love Birds... I keep on re reading your stories and their such a comfort read as they got me through alot when I was in high-school now I'm in university and I still feel the same way.
          Please update as soon as you can 
          Also hope that you're helping in your personal life 

Assalamu alaykum dear author, 
          Just found your books, and started reading "A diamond in Islam", reading description knew instantly i would love this, so was sorry seeing that not the full story is available here. After searching found an ebook, though the thoughts (which suddenly came into mind) about the rights for this don't and won't let me read that. Currently i have no possibility of purchasing it so decided to ask for permission.
          In case of your decline, as a good Muslim I will not proceed any longer than available on wattpad.
          Looking forward to your response,
          (However it may be)
          Best wishes, 
          B.N
          
          P.S. thank you for writing beautifully halal stories 

WHERE ARE THE UPDATES

Some days, the weight of life feels too heavy. You smile in front of others, but deep down you’re carrying so much. Wounds no one can see. Fears no one understands. Exhaustion that no one notices, But Allah knows. He sees every tear that doesn’t fall. He hears the silent cries your heart makes in the middle of the night. And He never leaves you, not for a moment. You are not weak for feeling overwhelmed. You are not faithless because you’re struggling. You are simply human. And Allah is Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful — to the struggling, to the tired, to the broken. So don’t hide your pain from Him. Talk to Him. Cry to Him. Fall into sujood and just be — and He will hold you with a love you can’t even imagine.
