Goodreads asked Haala Humayun:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Haala Humayun My summer reading list is dedicated to two authors whose words are not just stories but reflections of faith, destiny, and divine wisdom.
📖 All Novels by Nimra Ahmad – Nimra Ahmad’s storytelling is mesmerizing, but what sets her apart is how she seamlessly weaves Islamic concepts into her narratives. Each of her novels carries a profound message, hidden within the lives of unforgettable characters:
• Jannat Kay Pattay – The story of Haya Suleman, a girl who embarks on a journey of faith, hijab, and self-discovery, while Jahan Sikander remains one of the most beloved male protagonists in Urdu literature.
• Namal – A masterpiece of suspense and justice, with Zumar Yousef, Faris Ghazi and Saadi navigating through a world of deception, corruption, and Quranic wisdom, while Hashim Kardaar remains an unforgettable antagonist.
• Mushaf – A life-changing story of Mehmal Ibraheem, a lost soul who finds guidance through the Quran, discovering its power to transform lives.
• Haalim – A mesmerizing blend of history and time travel, where Taliya Murad and Fateh Bin Qais are caught between fate, politics, and the unseen forces shaping their destinies.
• Pahari Ka Qaidi – A gripping tale of tests, trials, and divine wisdom, as Haya Binte Jameel struggle with choices that redefine their lives.
• 📖 Mala – A gripping tale of black magic, divorce, and an unfinished love story. The novel follows Mala, an intelligent and ambitious girl, whose life takes a dark turn when she becomes entangled in the sinister world of black magic and supernatural forces. As she struggles to break free from its grip, she must also confront the pain of a broken marriage and the lingering emotions tied to Mahir, the man she once loved. Caught between illusion and reality, faith and deception, Mala’s journey is one of spiritual awakening, self-discovery, and the battle between good and evil.
📖 Novels by Umera Ahmad – Umera Ahmad’s works have a timeless depth, exploring faith, redemption, and human complexities through unforgettable characters:
• Peer-e-Kamil – The legendary story of Imama Hashim, a girl who sacrifices everything for faith, and Salar Sikander, a man of extraordinary intelligence and inner turmoil, finding redemption in Islam.
• Aab-e-Hayat – The continuation of Salar and Imama’s journey, where they navigate the struggles of faith, love, and worldly distractions in a rapidly changing world.
• Amar Bail – A deeply emotional story of love and sacrifice, where Umar Jehangir and Aleezay Sikander face the harsh realities of power, corruption, and a love that was never meant to be.
The reason I have chosen these books is simple: they don’t just tell stories—they inspire, they transform, and they leave an everlasting impact on the soul.
