It Started with a Hijabi's Diary

1= Finding The Diary

Starting with the name of Allah Almighty, who is most Merciful, The Most Loving, and most Gracious.

Peace and Blessings be upon all the prophets, their companions and all the believers present in this word or the other"

"To Him belongs the keys of heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whom He wills and restricts (it). Indeed He is, of all things, Knowing"

Surat-us-Shooraa
Verse#12

Him

The warm breeze traveled through the air, moving across a large window covered with small vases of roses and daises, a young man sitting there looking at the sky as if seeking some answers.

Then he rubbed his forehead and spoke in a tired tone,
"O Allah! What should I do? Only You know what should I do with this. If I read would it be like invading someone's privacy? But I don't know, maybe it's just a diary filled with silly punks. It's making me.....curious."

The aforementioned diary covered with the elegent black and pink color with the beautiful multicolored beads scattered on it, was laying on his table.

What to do with it? He was thinking again and again. Then he just took a deep breath and saying

بسمہ اللہ الرحمن الرحيم

He opened the diary expecting some lines like dear diary or secret diary. But the first line and on the very first page of the diary he read was,

Aslamoalaikum to the one who's reading it.(I know it's just me),
I hope you're having a good day. If you're having a good day then don't forget to thank Allah Almighty and if you're having a kinda bad day then ask for Allah Almighty's help. He always helps His slaves and removes all of their sadness and problems. All you have to do is ask for His help and have faith.

Hope you're smiling right now!

He was really surprised when he read it. He was expecting some lines like a girl telling about her silly crush or something like that. But he wasn't expecting something like this. Not at all. And the most surprising thing was, he was smiling.

He looked at the beautiful blue sky and smiled and then prayed for the happiness of this person who somehow without even knowing him made him smile.

He continued with reading the diary.

Hi Inny,

Yup I'm giving you a name my diary. Because saying 'my diary' would be kinda strange or ordinary. And you know I'm anything but that.

With my shy self and a really quiet nature, I was always told that I was different from others.

Then they started saying it more and now in more negative terms as I grew in a 'big' girl. Now I don't mean as a grown-up. They reffered it to my curvy or in their words

'obese' body.

From the start I wasn't really a girl who offered her prayed regularly.

Nor was I one of those to go off limits because from the start I knew rights and wrongs of my religion.

I guess even at the age of 18, I have so many stories to tell, and when I found no one to actually tell all about me. The real Me.
