 PREFACE 

BOOK 1: ALCHEMY OF LOVE.

This is a story about the invisible ties that bind us.

Call it fate, soul-recognition, or a love older than this life.

some connections don't begin.

They remember.

Jamal prays.

Not for miracles, but because it's the language of his soul.

Quiet, disciplined, unwavering.

Since childhood, that devotion opened doors…

and now, it opens a crack in the ordinary.

Aamina dreams.

Vividly. Restlessly.

Always the same man. Always the river.

She calls it stress.

Her grandmother calls it madness.

But something inside her aches, like the memory of a touch she never knew.

They live in different cities.

Different worlds.

He's older, burdened by a past he never speaks of.

She's younger, still nursing a heartbreak that left her doubting everything.

They are strangers.

Until their souls recognize each other first.

When Jamal's spiritual practice deepens, a veil lifts.

A pull begins.

Unseen, but unmistakable.

A wise man calls it remembrance.

He went thus:

"When we give ourselves lightly, through hollow loves, through intimacy without meaning—we scatter our light.

We tie ourselves to ghosts.

And the thread meant for one… frays. But when we thread the divine path, living in our soul's truth, we strengthen and deepen our connection with people of our vibrational frequency"

Aamina resists the dreams and signs.

After betrayal, she trusts nothing. Least of all a dream.

Jamal is shaken.

He's known hollow unions too, and the shame they leave behind.

But then... Qadr calls.

And when they finally see each other,

no fireworks.

No prophecy.

Just a gaze that lands like a question their hearts already know how to answer.

What if love isn't something you fall into?

What if it's what you wake up to when you remember who you were before the world taught you to forget?

______.

**WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN THESE PAGES**

This isn't just a spiritual journey. It's a human one. You'll walk with characters who:

- Doubt; (Is this real, or am I broken?)

- Hurt; (Why do I keep choosing wrong?)

- Resist; (Love failed me before, never again)

- Risk; (What if this time… it's different?)

**For the realist:

Feel the ache of Aamina's migraines as she battles past trauma.

Smell the coal fires of Marhaba.

Feel the emotional burden Jamal is carrying, tied to his past Karma.

**For the dreamer:

- Sense the pull of something deeper than logic.

- Question if distances, in miles or years, matter at all.

- Wonder: Could my life change in one encounter?

**For the wounded:

- See how betrayal twists trust.

- Feel the weight of bad choices.

- Discover how we unknowingly block our own healing.

**And the warning woven through:

Every time we use intimacy as a bandage, not a covenant...

- we chain ourselves to echoes.

- We steal from the love meant for us.

THE MEETING AT ZAWIYYA.

You won't understand this town at first.

Neither do they.

It's not a place of spells or saints.

Not a battlefield of angels and devils.

It's a crossroads.

A mirror.

A catalyst.

Here, Jamal and Aamina won't find easy answers.

They'll find:

A silence that screams louder than words.

A truth they've spent years avoiding.

A choice: run… or finally face what their souls already know.

---

This story is for you if:

You've ever loved the wrong person.

You've ever loved someone and it feels beyond ordinary.

You've felt a connection that defied logic.

You've wondered, "Is there more than this?"

You've carried shame from past choices.

You've hoped against all reason, for a love that feels like home.

This is not a book about saints.

It's a book about souls,

Flawed. Searching. And fiercely human.

If you're looking for perfect people, this isn't that kind of story.

If you're looking to be entertained without being moved, turn back.

But if you're ready to unfold, to question, to remember,

Then step in.

With open hands.

And an open heart.

______.

A Word of Intention:

This book is not here to attack anyone's belief,

Nor to change what you hold sacred.

It's not a weapon.

It's not a doctrine.

It's a mirror, held up gently.

This is a story for those brave enough to see themselves.

To unlearn what was survival…

To learn what might be truth.

A journey of heartbreak, healing,

And the whispers of the soul beneath the noise.

A work of fiction.

A vessel of divine truth.

And for some... maybe even a home.

Split Soul: Alchemy of Love, is a love story that doesn't just sweep readers off their feet, it draws them into a dreamlike spiritual landscape. Where emotion, mystery, and destiny collide. It's a tale that stirs the soul and sparks the imagination at every turn.
