Chapters from my self

Maryam Al-Balushi

To God, whose mercy encompasses all things, who taught me patience, honored me with strength, and guided me to a tranquility I did not know.

Praise be to Him in times of ease, praise be to Him in times of hardship, and praise be to Him forever and ever.

To those who were around me, who were the light in the dark paths, the motivation in moments of hesitation, and the hand that pushed me forward when I stumbled.

To those who supported me silently, who believed me aloud, and who believed in my abilities even when I doubted myself.

To everyone who has had an impact, whether small or large, direct or indirect, you are part of this book, you are a chapter of me.

To my own self who has learned, matured, and written this book out of love, gratitude, and sincerity.
