Description
In the bustling city of Philly, Amiyah and Zariah, find themselves on a quest to navigate the fine line between the haram and the halal in their pursuit of the perfect Muslim husband. Amiyah, a confident and devout young woman, begins her day with a missed fajr prayer, sending her into a frenzy of self-reflection. While the charming and persistent Taheer continues to pursue her, she remains unwavering in her belief that he must approach her family with sincerity and proper intentions. Will Taheer prove his commitment and win over her protective wali, or will Amiyah find someone unexpectedly different from what she initially imagined. Zariah, Amiyah's best friend and confidante, adds a dose of humor and perspective to her life. She, on the other hand, finds herself drawn to the allure of "hood halaal" boys, who, though no good for her, offer a tempting glimpse into a different world. As she navigates the exciting yet dangerous path of attraction to these forbidden figures, she learns that love is not always rational and can lead to unexpected consequences. Together, Amiyah and Zariah embark on a journey of self-discovery and sisterhood, all while trying to balance their spiritual commitments with the challenges of modern dating. Amidst trials and tribulations, they learn that finding the right partner requires more than just a charming smile and good intentions-it takes faith, patience, and a whole lot of dua. Join Amiyah and Zariah as they share laughs, support one another through life's trials, and explore the complexities of love, faith, and finding the perfect Muslim spouse in a world filled with distractions and temptations. 'A means to an End' is a heartwarming and relatable tale of two young black women determined to uphold their values while seeking the love they deserve. In the end, they both discover that true love is about aligning their hearts with Allah's will, and that it can often be found in the most unexpected places.
