4. Which book was your first book you read on Wattpad and what were your thoughts on it?

The first book I read on wattpad is 'The girl he never noticed.' And that's s the great book.

And that book had taught me to accept what you get is for trial and what not is not in your destiny.

And yeah obviously, true love never dies and it will always found you and yes, a happily ever after is love.

I had face it and it seriously run in my veins sometimes but as I am trying to control myself so it happens. There are my lovely readers who always makes me happy by their messages and comments and that's motivate me to write everytime whenever it happens. I become lazy in writing but when some reader message or comment came up with beautiful heart taking words then I start writing so the whole credits goes to my readers. And ofcourse to wattpad who gives me soo many wonderful friends and sisters in deen. Apart from it, being a author is not the cup of tea.

Brownies.

Biryani/Pizza.

If You are doing any work then wrap it up before 5 minutes of Adhaan. If you are short travelling like going or coming from school, colleges, madrasas, market, or anywhere just do it with dhikr and then while walking also do the dhikr.

Its very necessary for one to stay disciplined.

Yeah, people has just forget the sunnah lifestyle which our prophets and his mates follows like there was no existence of it and who follows it they tortured them with their taunts and make fun of them.

Alhamdulillah I follow the small sunnahs and is trying to follow the bigger ones too.

Names of sunnah like I follow Sunnahs of drinking, eating, going and coming from washrooms, house and then climbing and descending the steps with Allahu akbar and Subhan Allah respectively. Using of miswak then travelling, walking from right side and with lower gaze and many more and am hoping for a Reward from Allah and trying to follow the more sunnah.

I really need to follow the sunnahs of sleeping and waking up and of course some sunnah prayers too.

(A/N: Awww, Ma Shaa Allah! May Allah (S.W.T) make it easy for you, Aameen ya rabbul Aalameen).

(A/N: Hahaha, no. I am not getting tired. In fact, it's nice to know more about you).

25. What message would you like to give to those who play blame game? Don't you think one should take full responsibility over their wrong?

Stop it guys that's not at all right. If you are at fault then accept it with all your heart and mind and seek forgiveness for your fault and then if its not your fault still people are blaming you told them once and still they didn't listen then stay quiet and leave everything on Allah.
