Who Am I?
I’m a writer, a thinker, and the founder of Wara-Ul-Hijab—an initiative that empowers women without demanding them to be like men; and reminds the world of the strength hidden beneath these veils. My hijab is not just a part of me — it’s my crown and my shield, a symbol of the identity I carry with pride.
I write for the seekers—those who pause, wonder, and question. With a deep-rooted love for psychology and astronomy, I explore the connection between the soul, the stars, and the self. I believe that life is too sacred to be lived aimlessly, and every one of us is here for a reason far greater than we often realize.
My debut novel, WHY Are You?! , is a reflection of this pursuit. It answers the universal questions—What am I? Why am I here? How do I live with meaning? It’s written for anyone who’s ever felt lost, stuck, or empty—guiding them towards purpose with insight, faith, and logic.
Through my organization Wara-Ul-Hijab and my words, I aim to awaken what lies within: strength, clarity, and the courage to live with intention. Because to me, writing isn’t just about expression — it’s a form of dawah (calling to the Truth), a way to heal and to guide.
When I’m not writing, I’m reading the skies or exploring the depths of the human mind — constantly learning, constantly reflecting. And I’m here, through every page I write, to walk with you on your own journey towards not creating but acknowledging the Divine purpose.
My Journey into Writing
Since the age of 14, I have been always called out for my heavy questions – questions often labelled as senseless or not something to ask for. Discussions with friends, family and even teachers led to conclusions of just ending the talk instead of searching for answers.
These constant dismissive discussions became my trigger – my reason to seek answers on my own to the questions that most people fail to answer or even comprehend.
What Inspires Me to Write
Knowing the truth often comes with an urge to let people experience the wholeness I feel. Our mere existence is the proof of a meaningful life, yet so many of us leave this world with unanswered questions, unsolved mysteries and unnoticed emotions.
The misery of mankind and the clarity in my vision inspires me to write not just anything that can be a means to escape the real-world problems, but it actually reminds me to write something with greater purpose. And to not let people forget that escaping this world’s worries are not going to solve them. We all have to face it.
My work is not to make you turn a Muslim but to at least make you think for your greater purpose. Ask… ask questions that people think are lame. Ask, about the gaps that science cannot fulfill and neither has any religion yet. Is God only meant to be the God of Gaps? Is He All-Loving and All-Powerful? Then WHY the world suffers? WHY the weak suffers? WHY do you suffer?
How I See the Stars and the Soul Connected
You’ve probably heard scientists say that we are literally made of stardust. Yes, it’s true—each one of us. But that’s just the physical aspect. I believe it’s not only our bodies, but also our souls that are stars in their own right.
Our soul is the lamp of the body. It gives us understanding, awareness, and consciousness. It’s what makes us different—and more dominant—than anything else in the universe. Stars shine, but even their fuel runs out. So, what if we, as the outer mold of a star, provide energy to that star’s essence—our soul? That energy, I believe, is called mental peace.
And peace comes from something deeper: the remembrance of the Creator. I know this might sound too vague or abstract, but it’s a meaningful path worth exploring. To understand this better, you might want to read WHY Are You?!
Science hasn’t yet found evidence of the soul’s existence. But just because we can’t comprehend something today doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Human understanding is constantly evolving. Not today, but one day, InshaAllah, science might recognize the soul as the most vital element of our being.
And when it does, we’ll realize that the soul is us—in a mold of soil we call the body.
