Faith as it appears in ordinary life rather than in sermons — a prayer said in a hospital corridor, a doubt admitted at three in the morning. Very little of this is doctrine.
“The sun rays were spread on her face turning it bright, but Sameer saw darkness in her eyes which penetrated deep into her soul.”

“The world that we’ve created around is nothing but the reflection of the depth of our souls.”

“In the name of Allah, live, work, breath, walk, sleep, eat, never spend a day without being thankful son, all will work out by Allah.”

“The angel had never seen a scene this majestic in his life, it seemed like green stars had descended down from heaven just for them.”

“This made Haley nostalgic and she finally felt the intensity of the pain she’d caused her husband who was faithful to her this whole time despite of every hindrance that grew between them.”

“Enough belief in yourself to take leaps of faith and to never let go of hope are qualities that create the most wonderful lives anyone can ever live.”

“Justice is to give every soul its due share of love and forgiveness, no matter how much or how less it may be.”

“For God’s sake, just fill up our PABB and be done with us; that may be the last good thing you do before you are hanged.”

“Also, Zauberer prayed for Malvagio’s exile from Ogien; the world where demonic souls live – Malvagio’s home.”

“Just as the night and the day can never co-exist, same is the case with faith and fear and the only way to overcome fear is to sink in His love.”

““Not always virtue defeats the darkness; sometimes one has to mar their soul to defeat evil truly,” stated Demetria.”

“Not known, have you, the pain in the eyes of a father, whose daughter has to be whored, for you show them the way of God, the great God.”

“The return journey to home started off; this time there were three people in her car praying to reach home peacefully.”

“Renee’s suspicion had always been right, only Alyona had never let her harbor them with her silent pleas, holding love the dearest to her soul.”

“Soha’s evening prayers held nothing but the wish for God to give him peace in the world he’s gone to.”

“This immortal voice of Allah hu Akbar depicts the profound reality of life; that everything would fade into oblivion, but one love would never die.”

“Rekindling hopes and not letting it perish, letting the sun shine on your soul, to keep enriching your wonderful soul.”
