Safar-e-Takhayyul by Maryam Akber

رشتے ہمیشہ ہمارے دل کے قریب ہوتے ہیں۔لیکن کبھی کبھی غلط فہمیوں سے فاصلے بڑھ جاتے ہیں۔ ہم اپنے دماغ میں کہانیاں بنا لیتے ہیں، حالانکہ حقیقت میں ایسا کچھ نہیں ہوتا۔ یہی
کہانیاں ہمیں ایک دوسرے سے دور کر دیتی ہیں۔
یہ ناول ایک ایسے سفر کی کہانی ہے جس میں محبت بھی ہے، دکھ بھی، اور سچ کی تلاش بھی۔ اور اس سفر میں ایک راستہ ایسا ہے جو کبھی ہمیں دھوکہ نہیں دیتا قرآن، جو زندگی کے ہر سوال کا جواب رکھتا ہے۔

Relationships are always close to our hearts. They form the foundation of love, trust, and emotional connection. Yet, sometimes misunderstandings create invisible walls between people. Instead of communicating directly, we begin to build stories in our own minds. These imagined stories are not based on reality, but they slowly take root and push us further apart from the people we care about. Misunderstandings in relationships can be more damaging than real conflicts because they blur the line between truth and illusion.

This is the central theme of a heartfelt novel that explores human emotions, the pain of separation, and the constant search for truth. The story is not just about love and heartbreak—it is about the choices we make, the doubts we carry, and the way we allow our assumptions to shape reality. It teaches us that many times, the distance we feel is not created by others but by the shadows in our own thoughts.

The Emotional Struggles We All Face

Every relationship carries moments of love and warmth, but it also experiences trials of pain and disappointment. When trust weakens, even the strongest bond can feel fragile. This novel beautifully portrays the inner conflicts of individuals who, while deeply in love, struggle with the burden of doubts. Readers will recognize themselves in these characters because the pain of being misunderstood is universal. We have all faced times when our silence was mistaken, or when someone’s absence was read as betrayal, even though the truth was different.

The story highlights how important communication is in relationships. Without honest dialogue, the human mind fills the gaps with imagined scenarios. These false stories then become barriers, preventing closeness and trust. It reminds us that love is not destroyed by distance or differences—it is destroyed by silence and assumptions.

The Search for Truth

At its core, this novel is not only a tale of love and sorrow but also of discovery. The characters embark on a journey where they confront illusions, face painful realities, and search for the truth. This journey is what makes the novel deeply relatable. Life itself is a constant search for clarity—whether in relationships, careers, or spirituality.

Among the many paths that life offers, there is one that never deceives: the path of the Qur’an. The novel beautifully emphasizes that the Qur’an is not just a religious book but a timeless guide. It offers wisdom, comfort, and answers to every question of life. Where human hearts falter and human minds create confusion, the Qur’an provides clarity. It serves as a reminder that ultimate truth does not come from our assumptions but from divine guidance.

A Story That Reflects Real Life

This novel is more than fiction—it is a mirror. It reflects the reality of relationships, the pain of misunderstandings, and the healing power of truth. By blending love, grief, and spirituality, it gives readers hope that no matter how far people drift apart, there is always a path back to peace. And that path shines brightest when lit by the guidance of the Qur’an.
