Assalamualaikum Warahmutallahi Wabarakatuhu!

Hope you all are doing well!

Here I am with a very beautiful person who is a writer as well as my friend. Her stories are so beautifully written. Ma Shaa Allah! Everyone please welcome, one and only warishaahmed.

Do not forget to check out her works if you have not done yet.

May Allah SWT grant you more success, Aameen ya rabbul Aalameen.

Let's start with the interview!

1. Tell about yourself.

Name and meaning: Warisha Ahmed/ Sheikh. I often keep on changing my surname although I stick to Ahmed!
And Warisha means "The Dress Of Heaven".

Age: You should never ask a girl her age!

(A/N: Huff! Come on, this is not your marriage interview that you are shying to tell your age.)

Date of birth: Somewhere in September.

Nationality: Indian.

Hobby: Has to be reading and writing along with cooking.

Relationship status (single/committed): Forever committed to my bae ❤❤

(A/N: Awww, Ma Shaa Allah!).

2. Describe yourself in few lines.

A silent, Introvert and shy by nature. I respect values, I seek for joy rather than pleasure. I make sure that, I am better than what I was yesterday.
I don't compare myself to others. I don't compete. I only improve.

(A/N: Ma Shaa Allah!).

3. What good changes you want to bring in yourself?

To become a better Muslimah and strive for Jannah. To become brave enough to fight against all the challenges thrown in my life.

(A/N: Ma Shaa Allah!).

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

My first ever book on Wattpad was Heartbeat. I remember falling in love with that book on the very first page. The way the Author has shown the relation they share between the characters made me got hooked to it more and more. Though the book is not yet completed and it's on hold.

5. Tell us about your favorite books on Wattpad as well as offline.

Tough one!! I've read so many books that it's literally hard for me to pick, but still I'll try!! BM3- A Muslim Love Story. This story will always be on the top of my favourite section.
Unconditionally-The begining of the revelation.
And I have to read HLSAN soon, In Sha Allah.

(A/N: You should definitely read that book. I am telling you that you will love that book so much!).

6. Which genre you prefer most and why?

I mostly prefer Spiritual because I love to read halaal stories, not so imperfect halaal stories but I also love reading Werewolf genre too!

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

It has obviously been a very long journey with amazing experience and a lot of twists and turns. Never in my life had I ever thought that I would write one day or there would be a book out for everyone to read with my name on the Author's section. I downloaded this app for reading and somewhere from that lane I reached here! There was even a time when I wrote my first ever book Ehsaas...a feeling and then the very next day, I wanted to delete that book. But when I started writing His Wife Or His Maid, things changed. I felt more confident with my work and gradually when I started getting DM, Mails and Notifications, I started enjoying all the attention that I was getting from my beautiful readers. I used to laugh and cry after reading comments. There even came a point where I just literally blew up on everyone for unnecessarily questioning my writing. Suddenly, I started getting hate comments that my book is promoting violence or Islam doesn't allow this. You are encouraging these things! Some even started saying that my book is related to some series or what not! I remember posting a very long Author Note. I got lots and lots of Criticism and I still get to see them and the most funny part is that now even the debate has started taking place in the comments section!! But as we say that you'll eventually get the result of your patience and Alhamdulilah my beautiful readers supported me throughout. Taqi-Writer always motivated and supported me. Whenever I opened my account, her message would already be present. anu_boo27 was my very first Online friend and one of my very beautiful reader. She supported me and helped me in discovering Wattpad and soon she added me in a very beautiful group and my first ever Wattpad group outside Wattpad. AdibahZakin my favourite reader who by now if I'm not wrong must have even memorised my book. As I say what I am today is all because of my beautiful readers and they made my experience more beautiful. They taught me to be patient and leave everything on Allah.
So yeah, now I'm proud to say that it's been a wonderful journey with amazing experience and I'm looking forward to gain more love and blessings, In Sha Allah.

(A/N: Wow! Ma Shaa Allah! I know writing is not easy as I have also received many criticism. My first ever book of yours was His Wife or His maid and I really loved that book. Second is changing relations and soon I will read your other books as well, In Shaa Allah).

8. Choose between the two.

Brownies/Oreo.

Depends on my mood but since Oreo is easily available at home so it's Oreo.

9. What would be the one advice you would give yourself if you go back to six years?

That one advise would be to control my temper and have patience instead of reacting and making it more complicated.

10. What are your ambitions in life?

To guide the Women and Children towards the right path of Deen but for that I still have to learn more, myself. But In Sha Allah, one day for sure.

11. Most people loves to prank others so do you. Did you ever pranked anyone in your life? If yes, share it with us.

I didn't have actually pranked anyone but yeah, I had helped my friends in pranking others. If that counts then there you go - So I was having a night stay at my friend's house and her cousins were also there. It was a total girls night out. It was late at night when all of a sudden my friend got an idea of calling random people and scaring them. Some picked up and some not, we got many rubbish responses too but what literally made us fall from the bed was the reaction of a not so very old age man. Right after he picked up, I quickly played the horror tune while my friend laughed like a perfect churail and that person started reciting the First Kalima! Hahahahahaha...

(A/N: OMG! I cannot stop laughing!😂😂😂😂 Bechare uncle ji ko heartattack toh nahi aa gya tha? 🤣🤣).

12. As a human we do things which makes us feel embarrassed so tell us about your most embarrassing story.

Oh Gosh! There are many...can't disclose any!
O.M.G. that rhymed!! 😂😂😂

(A/N: Uhm.. Uhmm.. I am curious and I want to know *looks at you with puppy eyes*).

13. What is the most selfless thing you have done for someone? And apart from your mother, who is that person for you?

Being my favourite person's strength and giving some silly ideas to make my favourite person laugh in some serious situations. Most importantly, making dua for that favourite person in every Salat, more than I do for myself! Because the smile on that human is the vein in my body that carries blood to my heart and helps it to beat every second.
Apart from my mother, it has to be for my Zawj ❤❤ my habibi.

(A/N: Awww, Ma Shaa Allah! Do you know that you are my favorite couple? 😍 May Allah (S.W.T) always keeps you united in this world as well as in Akhirah and protect you both from the evil eyes, Aameen ya rabbul Aalameen).

14. Who are your most favorite Internet friends? Describe them in few words.

In simple words She's my lifeline...! I can't take her name.

(A/N: Awww, Ma Shaa Allah!).

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

Being judgemental and lying! I mean like who the hell gave you the right to judge others and then lie!

16. What are your ways of dealing with people?

It totally depends on that person! But most importantly I try my best to not be rude to that person even if that person is getting on my nerves.

17. Out of 10, how much would you rate your character?

I'm no one to rate my character. Everyone's character is best in ther eyes. You know me well enough...so why not you tell how much would you rate my character and my readers, I wanna know from you all too.

(A/N: For me, you are perfectly imperfect, Ma Shaa Allah!).

18. What's the most important fuel of life in your opinion?

Deen and the fear of Allah being upset with you.

(A/N: Ma Shaa Allah!).

19. Which reminder would you like to give everyone through a verse of the Qur'an?

O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.
-Surah Al Baqarah, verse 153.

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

It is very very important to balance Deen and Dunya because without Deen in your life you are like a lost person searching around for that one light which will take you out of the darkness. While on the other side this Dunya or World has become so important and competitve that we have eventually forgot that one day we have to show our face to the Almighty. Here, in the dunya we often make ourselves presentable in front of others but what about making ourselves better in Deen, let alone make ourselves presentable in front of the Almighty. We have many knowledge regarding wordly affairs but what about those knowledge which will help us in taking a step further towards Jannah? If we want to be perfect then for that we first have to be perfect in both Deen and Dunya because Deen takes you closer to Allah and Allah is the One and Only without whose support we won't be able to live in this cruel world.

(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 teenagers always take this line very casually, "hey, there's still so much time left, I'll do this or that later" but what we often forget is that in reality We have very less time. We don't know when our Almighty will call us and we have to go leaving everything behind. His call will come like a Surprise exam that our teacher's use to take in Schools. And if we were a regular learner and was up to the mark with studies we would pass that test but if we were not ready with our lesson then we would curse ourselves for not preparing for it from the begining and just wasted our time. Just think for awhile and answer are we ready to answer the questions? Are we ready to take the punishments? Are we ready to face the Judgement Day? From my point, I'm still not ready to face anything and still there's not much time left, we could be call at anytime. So my dear sisters in Deen, please please utilise your time in making your Aakhirah beautiful. I'm not saying to cut yourself off from this World, do enjoy your life, go out, have fun but don't forget the main purpose of your life and that is, to make yourself a better Muslimah every day and preparing yourself for the Aakhirah. You all have all the time in the world and yet you all have very less time!

(A/N: So true!)

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?

It is very much necessary to stay in disciplined which the people are lacking nowadays. Do some of us even know the meaning of Sunnah and what influence does it make in our day to day lives? And for that we have to bring back the Sunnah lifestyle. We just have to do some simple steps - Praying Salat on time, doing dhikr, learning some hadith, etc.

23. Name some Sunnah lifestyle which you follow?

Covering my hair, Eating with family, trying to pray on time, drinking water by sitting down.

(A/N: Ma Shaa Allah!)

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

When it comes to responsibility then I'm one hell of a responsible person. And my opinion on it would be - being responsible not only makes you good in other people's eyes but it also brings out your personality. Moreover, everyone will start appreciating you and who don't want to get appreciate and somewhere deep down you'll feel happy from the inside. 😊

(A/N: true!)

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?

I would love to say only one thing that fear Allah. Fear for your Records that would be shown to you on the Day Of Judgement. If you cannot be brave enough to accept your mistake and ask for forgiveness then why do you need to play games? I'm sorry but in my point you are the weakest person! The tricks that are played on those innocent people might not be able to know your real intention but always remember that the One who is Al-Malik, is up there and looking at every things. So fear my friends, fear from Allah, fear from His anger because every parts of our body belongs to it's Creator, Al-Malik and on behalf of us our parts of the body is going to speak to Allah of what we have done and not. So please my dear sisters and friends, ask for forgiveness before it's too late.

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

Reading Quran, listening to Nasheeds, reading, going on a long drive and many more.

28. How do you feel being a Muslimah? And what are the changes you would like to bring to the world?

I feel extremely lucky to be born as a Muslimah. I would want to bring peace and protect the Ummah from all the injustice. And would also change the mindset of some men who thinks that we Women are only for giving birth and to look after the house where as in Islam we are known as 'Rabbaitul Bait - The Queen Of The House' and not just a Housewife.

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

So one of my friend suggested me to download Wattpad. My experience was just amazing.

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

My first ever story that I wrote is Ehsaas...a feeling. This story has some parts which are related to my life. A story where a girl and boy gets married and how their relationship grows and what obstacles do they have to face is worth reading!

(A/N: Wow! I will definitely read it soon!).

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

It was just a random idea and nothing special about it. Just like that I published it.

32. What is your inspiration?

Whatever I see or hear around myself or whether it's a part of my life.

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

Well, this is what I would love to hear from you all whether my stories are benefitting or what you all have learned from it? For me my stories are benefitting because each story of mine shows different lessons. Ehsaas showed that how Marriage brought two unknown people together in a Halaal way. HWOHM showed that if you are quiet that doesn't mean you're weak because that is your biggest strength and one day you will get the fruit of all your patience. SOMP showed that it's not what you see and it's not what you are made to believe, there's more to every story. Changing Relations is still ongoing...so it's too early to say about it.

(A/N: Ma Shaa Allah!)

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

As mentioned above all of my books shows different lessons and even if you all are not interested in lessons, I'm sure enough that my stories won't bore you all!!

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?

Allahamdulilah! Uptil now, I haven't went through Writer blocks once also.

(A/N: Wow! Alhamdulillah, that's amazing! I pray that you never go through it, Aameen!).

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

A scene where two people accepts each other in every way.

37. Describe:

(A/N: Hayeee, Ma Shaa Allah 😍)

▪Friendship ~ is life.

▪Trust~ the most essential part of the relationship.

▪Family ~ is Everything.

▪Life ~ starts and ends on my Rab and on my Husband.

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

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

I won't say that I don't like it anymore but somehow it has reduced alot. I used to be more carefree and more friendly but now things have changed or rather I have changed!

39. Your favorite childhood memory.

Sleeping with my Nana and Nani.

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

School life was the best life. Chatting away with friends in between ongoing classes. Discussing on some serious topics that whose gonna get married first *laughs*. Giving our teachers weird names. My favourite memory would be when I saw my name on the first list of my School that too on the top. I was so happy that I was literally jumping and screaming, while all the passers by gave me weird looks.

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

41. What is bigger? Brain or cow?

Has to be brain!

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

A big big Thank You and lots of love to all of you my beautiful readers. What I am today is all because of you my beautiful readers. Without you all, I wouldn't have come this long. It's only and only because of your support and love and motivation that pushed me to write more and more. You all taught me to believe in my work and to ignore what haters have to say. It's because of you all I have started seeing criticisms also like a positive comment because why not appreciate their criticism when they are taking out time from their busy schedule and reading my book and commenting, so Thank you to you also.

Those who are struggling in writing please don't give up hope. Write what your heart says. Don't think of anything that'll stop you from writing whether it's your concern regarding the grammar or the plot or the characters are not strong, is it boring or it's not, am I dragging or not? Just throw these negativities out from your mind and write. Write till you cross your benchmark. Write till it satisfies your quest. Write till you feel connected with your beautiful readers just like I do. Never ever let your ego come in your way, never boast yourself for your success. Always be humble to everyone and never forget your first step towards your struggling of writing and lastly, leave everything in Allah's hands. Everything will eventually fall on it's right place.
Once again Thank You.

And a big big Thank You to you Pearls_Queen for giving me the honor to interview by you. May Allah bless you abundantly and shower love and happiness in your life. May your life be blessed with success and you achieve what you have wanted to achieve. May you find a pious spouse who'll love you endlessly. Aameen. Love ya😘😘

(A/N: Awww, welcome habibti ♥. Jazakillahu khairan Katheeran Katheera habibti for your beautiful duas. Aaameeennnn ya rabbul Aalameen and I pray the same for you, Aameen ya rab!).

*****
