"O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
Al- Quran (39:53)

One book, two story and four lives entangled, all in the process of overcoming their nafs (desires), worldly attractions and learning the beauty of acceptance. Shaping and molding their personalities.
Two young women, fighting their own battles respectively, one emotionally broken while the other, mentally broken. Embark on a journey of strengthening and reviving their connection with the creator, amidst the chaos outside and the emptiness within. In the process they unlock new aspects of sisterhood while trying to find the Sirat-ul-Mustaqeem (the right path).
Two young men, who changed completely after the one mistake that tore apart everything, set about on the journey of rediscovering and reforming themselves according to the word of Allah.
The story revolves around how their lives get intertwined, only to split apart. Making each of them enrich and nurture their bond with the Almighty. Life has better plans for each of them as Allah swt is the best of planners.
What happens when destiny plays making them encounter one another again and again, but this time as better individuals?
'The crying of a sinner is more loved to Allah swt than the tasbih of the arrogant.'
