Sabbira POV

I stared up at him, utterly confused on why he was here. I thought he said he would talk after work, last time I checked we had a hour left.

"What is it ?" I asked

He scratches the back of his neck, than clears his throat.

"Well, um.. I was wondering if you can answer some questions about Islam?" He asked, looking up at me

I give him a expression was priceless-a mixture of shock and awe. I than give home a confused look.

"What?" I say after uncomfortable silence. I wasn't sure if he was joking with me

"Do you want me to repeat it?" He said, Giving me a frustrated look

I shake my head, a small grin on my face.

"No. I just wanted to make sure I heard you right... What did you want to know?" I asked, simply telling why

"Well.." He trips off.

He thinks, I study him. Even though I was meant to lower my gave, I never saw him like this. His eyes were glowing with light. Was it because he found the true religion. Was he seeing the light is brought to his life ?

"How do you pray?" He asked, he than continues to think again.

With a shocked look on on face, I clear my throat. Shocked on why was he asking this. Why did he want to learn about prayer the most.

"You want to learn how to pray? Is this a serious question or are you just playing with me," I roll my eyes, putting my pen down

If he was taking my work time from me, joking around...well let's just say things wouldn't be pretty. I also didn't like when people asked me about my religion, just so they can make rude comment about it.

"Forget it. Sorry I asked." He mumbles,
looking down.

My heart aches on his reaction. Although we were meant to invite non Muslims to Islam in a kind matter, I didn't think I was doing a good job at it.

Was he getting embarrassing ? Or something. I quickly shake my head after realizing he wasn't joking

"What? No. I'm sorry James.. I'm just shocked. That's all. Look, if you want I can give you some books that cover that subject. We pray 5 times a day but before that you have to make wudu- ritual washing. before prayer." I explain my best

I wouldn't say I was the religious type of girl, but I knew much facts about my religion and was planning to learn more about it everyday.

"Prayer helps us always remember God throughout the day. It is a 20 minutes break for us where we can pour our hearts out to Allah, ask him to help us and forgive us, and it helps us to remember that we can never be too busy for Allah.. It's also in the 5 pillars of Islam.. You know the five pillars?" I asked

If it wasn't for the 5 daily prayer Allah swt gave us, I didn't know what I would have done. How it eased the pain from my parents death. Or my brother leaving me. Losing my best friend heck even my life. I lost everything, but never did I lose Allah. I met with him during my prayers, my duas. Even when I read the Quran. I knew he was there with me.
