The Gift of Sacrifice: How My Father Taught Me the True Meaning of Eid
I was ten years old when I truly understood what Eid ul Adha meant. Before that, Eid was all about the fun parts—waking up to the smell of fresh bread, getting new clothes, counting crisp bills tucked into Eid envelopes, and, of course, watching my uncles skillfully prepare the Qurbani animals.

Breaking the Cycle
Narrative Sunday. It began like any other Sunday morning, at least on the surface. My partner wanted to rest after visiting friends the night before for a gathering. I wasn’t completely sure about attending that gathering to begin with—though I managed to find some moments of enjoyment, even if they were fleeting and solitary.

My Father Is My Hero
From the outside, my father is just another man—quiet, reserved, a little gray at the temples, often seen fixing things around the house or tending to the small garden he loves.

My father is my hero—not because he wears a cape or has superpowers, but because of the quiet strength he carries within him, the unwavering love he offers, and the way he’s always been there, even when life got tough.

Bridges Rebuilt: A True Story of Forgiveness and Healing
For the better part of a decade, I told myself I was fine with never speaking to my father again. We hadn't spoken in nine years. Not a phone call. Not a holiday text. Nothing. I had built my life around his absence, convincing myself that distance was better than disappointment.
