Description
He was a desert, vast and empty, his heart a wasteland of scorn for all things unseen. His empire was a mirage, built on pride and an arrogance that dismissed every whispered prayer. She was a garden, her soul rooted in the fertile ground of imaan, her presence a quiet sakinah that baffled him. He tried to wither her with his cruelty, to prove that her faith was a fragility in his brutal world. But the winds of qadr do not heed a mortal's plan. A storm of grief and loss tears through his life, leaving him to wander through the ruins of his own making. In the suffocating darkness, he sees a faint nūr, a light that radiates from the woman he once scorned. Her faith becomes a distant star he navigates by, leading him on a reluctant path of self-discovery. This is not a story of a boy and a girl, but of a soul lost and a heart found. A testament to the truth that even from the deepest ruin, Allah can bring forth the most beautiful Khair. The question that remains is: can love, as a testament of His mercy, bloom between the one who was blind and the one who was his light?
