Chapter 1: Introduction

Preface

People often become miracles in the lives of others. This writing is dedicated to those souls and feelings that could never be expressed. These words may be smiling, but happiness is often scarce behind them.

Everyone says that one should forgive. Forgiving is not a bad thing, but sometimes forgiving someone empties your own heart. Forgive people and move forward in life, but do not do so at the cost of your own peace.

The law of recompense is one of life's miracles. I believe that every action has a consequence, whether good or bad. At the age of fifteen, this four-month journey of mine was very beautiful. Its purpose was to create awareness among today's youth that life never remains the same. Difficulties are a part of life. We should always think positively and place our trust in Allah.

Some events in this story are connected to real life. The story emphasizes strengthening one's relationship with Allah and being content with the life one has. By acting upon these principles, life becomes not only better but also more peaceful.

While speaking, do not use words that wound another person's heart. Not everyone verbally curses in return; sometimes a person's tears have the power to destroy an entire world.

Life is given only once. Instead of wasting it in self-pity, make it meaningful and become a source of benefit for others.

Please remember me in your precious prayers as well.
