Lady of Paradise: The Timeless Story of Fatimah al-Zahra (RA)
🌸 Introduction Evening was falling gently over the streets of Medina. A divine calm embraced the dusty alleys, as if the sky itself bowed down to the sacredness that this city carried. The call to prayer echoed through the air, and in a humble house lit not by lamps, but by love, a fragrance of worship arose.

I Left My 9–5 to Take Care of My Parents: This Is What I Learned
I didn’t plan to quit my job. In fact, I’d spent the better part of a decade climbing the ladder, surviving on coffee and late-night emails, wearing "busy" like a badge of honor. I had a decent apartment, a predictable schedule, and a LinkedIn profile full of polished achievements. Life was “on track”—until the call came.

What the Next Generation Thinks of Us: A Letter From 2050
Dear Ancestors, My name is Ilya, and I was born in the year 2034. I’m sixteen now—old enough to understand what you left us. Old enough to question why. Old enough to write this letter from what remains of Earth, in the hope that it echoes back through the data archives and makes someone, somewhere, feel what I’m feeling.

Men Only Want One Thing and It’s Disgusting
You’ve heard it a million times. Men are simple. Men are selfish. There is only one thing that men desire. Hold on though because what if everything youve been told is false?

🌧️ Kindness in the Rain
The rain didn’t just fall that night—it attacked. It slammed against the pavement with a fury, turning streets into rivers and umbrellas into crumpled messes. People rushed by, heads down, eyes averted, chasing warmth and dry shelter. No one noticed the little girl on the bench at the bus stop. Soaked to the bone. Shivering. Silent.

Life Is Like a River: Its Nature Is to Keep Flowing
Life, in its essence, is a continuous journey — ever-changing, ever-evolving, and ever-flowing like a river. The comparison between life and a river is both poetic and profound. Just as a river begins as a small stream and gradually grows, meandering through various terrains, so does life start from infancy, flowing through childhood, youth, adulthood, and eventually old age. It encounters challenges, obstacles, and beautiful moments along the way, but the most important thing is motion—the flow.
