Everything happens for a reason
Three twin girls: “Amira”, “Malak” and “Maryam”. Their mother died after giving birth to them, then they separated after they were adopted by different families, each of them experiencing their own different battles in life, then they came together in their twenties to live together in one house. In the end, all the characters in the novel understand their lessons in life and why everything that happened in their lives happened, because everything happens for a reason and for the wisdom of God.
If we do not understand life's lessons for us...the same painful situations will continue to be repeated to us in the form of different people, forms, and situations, and we will continue to complain about our situation. Until we stop living the role of the victim and take responsibility for our lives and our choices in them, we understand why what happened to us happened and what was the wisdom behind it all? Only then will we stop playing secondary roles in other people's stories, and we will be the heroes of our own story
