I have literary no words for these amazing writings by these wonderful authors.

6. Which genre you prefer most and why?

Spiritual genre, because it somehow motivates me in spiritual sense.

7. Tell us about your experience as an author on Wattpad.

Well this is actually a fantastic question. My journey from being a reader to an author is super long, bumpy rides, steep hills, curve bends and all sorts of twists and turns. It's been nearly 3 years since I started writing. I first wrote my draft on 21 July 2016. And it's been so long and time flew away so quick and I'm still in shock. But Alhamdulillah for everything. I had severe writers block, it was so bad at one point, I wanted to delete my books and quite writing. Everything sucked. I felt my writing was not good. Yet something in me was holding, thankfully I didn't delete the book and Alhamdulillah I succeeded in finishing one whole book of Halaal love, my first ever book. It took time, sweat, blood and every emotion. Yet it was worth writing. When today I get such amazing comments. I feel blissful. It would take long to reach success, but one thing is sure, that success will forsure knock your doors. The main criteria to achieve the success is patience and constant perseverance. And to take positive out of all negative's in life. It's not easy it's very difficult, but not impossible. All I have to say is do it. Give your best, let Allah do the rest. As an author you will face alot of criticism. Make this as your strength and not downfall. Grow, bud out, bloom, shine and twinkle. Remember success will touch your feet one day. Be humble, super patient, and be grateful.

I don't do big, huge pranks lol. But, I have put my friends in such situations that they have had hard time controlling their laughter. Like I used to crack jokes in between classes, have Plated two of my friends hair in one single braid lol, have tied their clothes and have poured water over them and tickled them so much that they have rolled down on floors laughing.

(A/N: Aww, Ma Shaa Allah!)

15. Which quality you dislike the most in the people and would want to change?

Hypocrisy and judgemental.

16. What are your ways of dealing with people?

How the other person is that way I deal. Some needs to be dealt with love and affection. Some needs a sister, some needs a mother, some needs a friend, some needs a mentor or a guide. Some needs just a person to hear. On the situation that arises I deal in that form of personality.

(A/N: Indeed. SubhanAllah!)

They plots and plan, And Allah plans, but Allah is the best of All-Planners.
Wayamkuroona, wayamkurullah, wallahu khairul makireen.
وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ ۖ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ.

20. How important is it for us to balance Deen and Dunya?

It's very very very important. Because if you loose our Deen you would loose out aakhirah. And their is no chance that people loose out duniya for deen in today's world. They always loose out Deen for the sake of the current life. They forget that the ultimate goal and destination is Jannah we need to persevere and strive for it. It's very hard to balance the both. But hey, life is a test we gotta survive through it. Despite all the hardships we need to handle and tackle the life having both Deen and Duniya. Olden days if you didn't had any knowledge about world it was okay, perfectly fine. But today's world you need to learn all the ethics, critics, politics, death, mind plotting games and all these stuffs, because If you are a fool and have no knowledge you would risk your own survival. World is getting cruel. We need to educate ourselves and work for our future along with having the protection of almighty we gotta survive all these filth and shits of the world. It's getting harder to live, yet we gotta survive. If one gets to know the true purpose of survival he will get through it.

(A/N: Indeed so true).

21. Since majority of the youth don't realise their time of opportunity which starts from teenage, how prominently will you advice them to use it wisely?

We as kids or as teenagers thinks that, we would enjoy and be cool in our lives, we don't realize that we are deviating ourselves from family and Deen. Unfortunately many looses the greatest gifts of life's that's parents and many destroy their future and many step away from the Islam. Time is all that's very important. If you have time make the best use of it. The above sentences might not make sense with the topic time. But If you correlate you would know what I mean.

22. According to you, how necessary is it for one to stay disciplined? Don't you feel people lack the Sunnah lifestyle which should be brought back?

Yes, if we aren't disciplined in life we wouldn't make anything right. To get disciple we need to pray on time. If we are disciplined and obey Allah First our whole life gets disciplined. And the forgotten sunnahs are, not praying on time, zikr, eating with family and from same plate, miswak, the duas of every act we perform. Respect to elders and kindness to youngsters and much more.

23. Name some Sunnah lifestyle which you follow?

Hijab, and eating with family and little just little bit of praying on time.

24. How responsible are you as a person? And what is your opinion on it being the most essential part of one's life?

As the elder I'm the second mum to my siblings not only own but also my cousins and other friends etc. Being responsible is very important. Only then you would know what it is to be responsible as a mother or a sister, daughter, aunt or any relationship for that matter.

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?

Advice to such people are fear Allah, today fearing the creation of Allah you are displeasing your creator remember Aakhirah is for real. If you cannot take up the blame and accept your sins, then you would never ever feel guilty to any sin you commit and are the sinner of Allah azzawajal and you would never ever repent. So accept it, and seek forgiveness if not your aakhirah is at stake my beloved people.

(A/N: So true).

26. What would you like to do in your leisure time?

29. How did you discovered Wattpad and what was your first experience?

This is quite interesting, a friend of mine from pre-university send this app to me as she saw the craziness I had for reading. When I read my first ever novel that's, Few things left unsaid by Sudeep Nagarkar. They she suggested to me this website where we can read books. And my first experience was mind-boggling. *Ahhh the feels.*

30. Tell us about your first story that you wrote on Wattpad.

My first story is Halaal Love ~ Start's After Nikah. Basically it portrays how it is to fall in love the right way, the halaal way, the love undergoing different stages of maturation, and development of the love in the characters despite the hardships and trials they go through. It's a story full of lessons and it's for the people to learn and find the true meaning and purpose of everything in life.

31. How did you get the idea for your first story?

As I read hundreds of books on wattpad, somewhere they had loopholes and I didn't like the ending or something from the story, as I'm not the author I couldn't bring the change in those books. But as a kid, whenever I saw anything I used to imagine alot. Be it my school texts or any melodrama I saw or anything, which I don't see anymore. So I used to always imagine about future things or scenes. And many a times same things would happen. And that way when I started reading I had these constant different scene for the stories I read. So when everything hit me hard I got this whole story in my head as to what and how I'm supposed to do.

32. What is your inspiration?

My inspiration is anything and everything that I see, that I do. It can be anything from non living things to living things. Every single thing inspires me.

33. Are your stories benefitting? What lessons we can learn from them?

Yes, it's beneficial to all the people around the world. To learn the true Deen. To know what is right and wrong. And I have already said above their are plenty of lessons that one can learn from it.

34. As a reader, why should I read your book?

To know the hidden lesson I have portrayed and to become a better Muslim/Muslimah and to know what Halaal love is about.

35. Writers mostly go through writer blocks and you must have also went through it. How do you deal it and how we can overcome it?

Goshes, writers block is deadly. Honestly I had got this pretty bad where I wanted to just delete my book. The only thing I would ask everyone to do is. Don't push yourself to write. Write only when you feel like. Pamper yourself and do the things you love and read and read. Automatically ideas will start to flood in and you will be back to writing. In Shaa Allah. It might take long, but you will come back for it. Bi idnillah.

36. Which is your favourite scene amongst the book you have written?

My favourite scene is when two souls united to become one in every sense. That's the beauty of the love, where you become one in every sense.

(A/N: Aww, Ma Shaa Allah!)

37. Describe:

▪Love ~ Love, is everything or nothing. For the sake of Allah it can be everything for the sake of the world it's nothing.

▪Friendship ~ Is life.

▪Trust ~ Strong foundation for relationships.

▪Family ~ Is Everything.

▪Life ~ With Allah and loved ones everything, without them it's nothing.

38. What is that one thing that you used to love the most in the past but now you don't like it?

I cannot say that I loved to. I used to make friends easily and trust easily which I do not like to do anymore as trust is a lot more than words could say. So no more blind trust and fake friendships.

39. Your favorite childhood memory.

When I used to go with my grandfather to buy cold drinks the most favourite one.

(A/N: Aww, Ma Shaa Allah).

40. Describe your school life and your most favorite school memory.

School life was of innocence. Damn, I miss being a kid, honestly, with one khatti we would stop speaking and one mitthi would make us friends to speak. That phase of innocence is so beautiful, so serene, that innocence gets killed when you face the cruel world. *cries*
My favorite memory is, when I had topped the 5th grade which I clearly remember and my teacher as I entered the class congratulated me and that was the most favourite. Because I felt beyond words to express. There was something very special about it.

(A/N: Aww, Ma Shaa Allah!)

41. What is bigger? Brain or cow?

Being bigger doesn't always have to be with size. Off course it's Brain.

(A/N: Lol yeah!).

42. A Message to readers and to all those who are struggling in writing.

Thank you all for being super amazing readers, I seriously have no words to thank you. I'm super blessed and humbled to have you all in my life. Without you all and by the will of Allah I wouldn't have been called as a writer or an author. What I'm today is what you guys have made me. I'm forever grateful and thankful to you all. To all those who are struggling to write, remember success will touch your feet you need to be patient. Be humble and kind. Learn everyday. Do not give up. Make yourself humble and put your head down in front of Allah Azzawajal, he will make you rise above so high. That even the success would envy it's height. Put down in front of your lord, he will raise you in the status of the world. The only secret for the eternal success.

Lots of Love ~ Taqi.♥

(A/N: Indeed, SubhanAllah!).
