Some loves feel like mercy.
Some truths arrive like judgment.
Ryan Qureshi was lost long before he ever realized it-praying with his lips, but not with his life. Then a voice found him in the dark. Sophia Aaliyah sang as if every note was a dua, every lyric a surrender. Through shared poetry, restrained conversations, and faith that stayed within sacred limits, Ryan believed Allah was giving him another chance-through her.
Sophia believed it too.
She thought she had found a man who honored Deen as deeply as she did. A soul who saw her voice not as beauty, but as amanah. Their connection was distant, careful, untouched-yet it carried the weight of forever.
Until the truth surfaced.
Ryan was already bound by a Nikah he never spoke of. A forced marriage, hidden behind silence and fear. What they thought was halal was built on a lie-and when it collapses, it leaves Sophia standing alone with heartbreak, faith, and a future she never imagined carrying by herself.
This is not a story of reunion.
It is a story of walking away.
As years pass in quiet repentance and unanswered prayers, both Ryan and Sophia must face a devastating reality: sometimes Allah brings someone into your life not to stay, but to wake your soul. Some love stories don't end in marriage-they end in sujood.
A poignant Islamic contemporary novel about betrayal without touch, motherhood born from courage, forced marriage, and a love so pure it chooses Allah over desire.
Because what is meant for you will never miss you-
and what leaves was never meant to stay.
