In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. (1)

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (2)

The Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. (3)

مَٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ ٤
The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) (4)

إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ ٥
You (Alone) we worship, and you (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). (5)

صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡت عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ ٧
The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray. (7)

Closing The Quran carefully I touched it with my eyes and covered it with cloth. It was the only thing that was keeping me sane these days. It had been a month since Azferene started teaching me Islam, but because of her busy schedule she could only take out time to teach me. We couldn't talk about her life all this while. But today I planned to. And I won't leave her without telling me.

Her past was everything but peaceful, she has suffered a lot...I can say this contemplating as far as I have known her story. But I wanted to know more. I wanted to know everything about her. I wanted to know the level of patience she endured to reach where she is standing now.

Quickly tieing niqab around my face I shoved my legs in my shoes. Yes! I started doing Niqab because my Allah commanded me to do so,

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, headcover, apron), and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband’s fathers, or their sons, or their husband’s sons, or their brothers or their brother’s sons, or their sister’s sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful”. [Al-Noor 24:31]

Today we were meeting at her parent's house. It would be the second time I would be going there, that too because her parents behaved weirdly with me although Azferene told me many times that they wanted to meet me again.

Another thing that was weird was my intuitions about SH being alive were becoming stronger day by day no matter how much I ignored. If it goes on like this, I may soon need a psychiatrist cause I myself feel going into a frenzy. I can't even take his name without my tongue shivering and body sweating. Uff!

I was about to knock on the door when I realised it was already open. Even though my mind gave me warnings of not going inside without permission , my heart had its own excuses.
