Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.
The Hidden Truth About a Man’s Glow
Nobody tells you this. They’ll tell you to chase success, to build muscle, to stack paper until you finally feel enough. But no one warns you that a man can have it all — the money, the body, the cars — and still walk around dim.

The Half-Finished Race
People often say that women mature faster than men. In one sense they do, but that advantage is temporary. If maturity were a marathon, women would sprint the first half and cross the midpoint far ahead. They would celebrate as if the race were over. Men would lag behind, slower at first, but they would keep running. They would finish the second half while many of the early sprinters stood still. That second half of the race, the one built on endurance, sacrifice, and humility, is where real adulthood begins.

Suffering and Hunger: A Son’s Struggle for Survival During the Days of Curfew
It was the day of pilgrimage. Like every other morning, I woke up to the call of dawn prayer. I washed, prayed my Sunnah, and left home for the mosque. Our small village sits between Mardan and Charsadda, and the mosque stands right along the main road.

The Broken Promise: A Tale of Love, Class, and Silent Suffering
Aslam was leaving his uncle’s house today — apologizing to everyone as if he would never return. Even if his uncle had lived for a thousand years, Aslam no longer felt like spending another moment there. The silence of the previous day, the silence that came from Shinu, still echoed painfully in his mind.

(Part 2) The Nature of Faithfulness: Why Men and Women Fail Differently and Love the Same
If the first truth of love is difference, the second is duty. What reason can describe, revelation can redeem. Part I examined the divided mind of desire through the lens of logic and biology. Part II turns to the deeper reality beneath them: pride. Every failure of love, whether male or female, begins in pride. Pride blinds the mind, corrupts the will, and destroys the capacity to sacrifice. It is the single force that can turn God’s design of complementarity into conflict.

(Part 1) The Nature of Faithfulness: Why Men and Women Fail Differently and Love the Same
Every man and woman desires love, but they do not experience love in the same way. The human heart is one, yet the human mind is divided by design. Men and women think, feel, and attach differently. That difference is not a flaw in nature. It is a pattern that reflects purpose. Ignoring it does not create equality. It only breeds resentment.

(Conclusion) The Collapse of Duty: Reclaiming the Moral Order Between Men and Women
Every empire believes it will last forever. Every culture believes it can defy the laws that brought it into being. Yet the law of God is not subject to human approval. It is written into the very fabric of creation. Truth does not fade when nations fall. It remains, waiting for men and women humble enough to return to it.

(Part 6) The Collapse of Duty: Reclaiming the Moral Order Between Men and Women
The strength of a nation is not measured by its armies or its wealth. It is measured by the integrity of its people. A civilization does not fall when enemies invade from without, but when corruption rots it from within. The weight of civilization rests not on governments, but on homes. And the weight of the home rests on the hearts of men and women who either honor truth or abandon it.
