A Story of Faith, A Story of Light

From Shadows to Light: Embracing Change and Finding Peace in Islam

By Shoaib RehmanPublished 8 months ago 2 min read

From a world of noise, where the lights were bright,

She walked the path, but it didn’t feel right.

In every camera's flash, in every staged smile,

She wore a mask, though it lasted a while.

Her name was known, the crowds would cheer,

But beneath the surface, was something unclear.

A soul in conflict, a heart that would cry,

Searching for meaning beneath the false sky.

A journey began when the old life grew cold,

To a place unknown, where stories unfold.

Malaysia called, with its rich air and sound,

A new world of peace was waiting to be found.

In the stillness, a whisper, a message so deep,

A faith that offered a comfort, a peace that would keep.

The call to prayer, the quiet of night,

A spark of hope, a ray of light.

She felt the shift, the pull in her chest,

To leave behind the world she had known, and find rest.

It wasn’t the fame, nor the glittering gold,

But a deeper purpose, a story untold.

She stood at the crossroads, where two worlds met,

One behind her, with no promise, no net.

The other ahead, with its faith and its grace,

A chance for renewal, a new kind of place.

Her name would change, as the soul took its stand,

A new chapter written, with a steady hand.

Nuray, the light, the hope in her eyes,

A journey of faith, beneath new skies.

The world would question, they’d call her a fool,

But she knew the truth, she knew the new rule.

To live with purpose, to grow in belief,

To find peace in the midst of old grief.

She learned the prayers, she felt the peace,

The chains of the past slowly began to cease.

With every step, she shed the weight,

Of a life once lived, and embraced her fate.

But it wasn’t easy, the world would not wait,

The critics would rise, and they’d seal her fate.

Yet, Nuray walked on, with strength in her stride,

No longer confined, no longer to hide.

The whispers of doubt could never undo,

The love she had found, the light that was true.

For in every challenge, in every test,

She found her faith, she found her rest.

So now she moves, with a heart full of grace,

A woman reborn, in a spiritual place.

Her journey continues, and her light shines bright,

A story of faith, a story of light.
