Habibi And Love

Chapter 2

Haniya sat up on her bed as she rubbed her eyes and went downstairs from where the sounds of crying were coming from. She was wearing a night gown in sky blue colour and her hair was long enough to reach her waist. It was wavy black hair. Not so thick..not so thin.. medium thickness were present in her hair. The harmony of her face was beautiful. She had sleepy kinda eyes. Her nose was neither too straight nor too flat. Her lips were heart shaped with a pink shade. She was fair skinned and her hight was not too much.. She was 5ft 4 inches... She wasn't skinny but she was a little chubby... not too chubby... A little.. (She has a little double chin and a little tummy.. with some cute little bit of chubby cheeks.. She has a hour glass figure but with no bigger bottom..)

Haniya's POV:
She saw her mother was crying as her father was sitting there with a face full of sorrow.. Haniya placed her right hand in her chest as she whispered

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

-laaa ilaaha illaaa Anta Subhaanaka innee kuntu minaz zaalimeen
Meaning: "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

Haniya took a deep breath as she decided to speak up. "Abbu..?"(Referring to father)
"Did something happened? Ammi(to mother) what happened? Why are you crying? "
"We have gone bankrupt" said Haniya's father which made Haniya numb in her spot...
Haniya quickly recited..

اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَينِ يَدَيَّ, وَمِنْ خَلْفِي, وَعَنْ يَمِينِي, وَعَنْ شِمَالِي وَمِنْ فَوْقِي, وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَن أُْغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي

Transliteration: Allah humma'h fathny min bayne yaday wa min khalfi, wa'an yameeny wa 'an shimaly, wa min fawqi, wa a'uthu bi 'athamatika an ughtaala min tahty.
Translation: O Allah protect me from my front, behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me, and I seek refuge in Your Magnificence from being taken unaware from beneath me.
"But how did this happened abbu? Why did it happened? " haniya was calmed but deep down she was also very anxious about the fact that her family out of blue went bankrupt.
"Our madrasah.. Our madrasah is on the eye of Khan Ali Bin Amir.He wants it. When I refused to give up on our madrasah.. He threatened me in many ways but when it wasn't of any use he.. he played his dirty game and now we are in a place where we have nothing but this house." Haniya's abbu remarked with sorrow..
Haniya's mother was crying rapidly as her father snapped on her mother and strictly told her to go shut and not to cry. Yes Haniya's father was short tempered but deep down he loved his family specially his wife Ayesha(Haniya's mother) very much. But could never expressed it. Haniya's mother went silent as Haniya's father said to Haniya to go upstairs as Halima is still sleeping and as Halima is very young to know about these things Halima should be away of this topic.
Haniya nodded as she went upstairs and locked her door. She went up to Halima and sat beside her sleeping figure tucked under the blanket. Haniya caressed Halima's cheeks as she continues to pray to allah for a miracle. She was begging allah for forgiveness and help. She was hoping that Allah will send a help and will rescue her and her family from this calamity. As she was silently praying in her heart uncontrollably tears were shedding down her eyes and face. The tears were dropping as little sobs escaped her mouth...
"Ya rab... please forgive us and help us. Save us from this calamity and have mercy on us"....
Soon Halima woke up from sleep as she heard the little sobs and prayer whispers from Haniya. Halima rubbed her eyes as she spoke with a baby sleepy voice...
"What happened apy?"
"Nothing my angel." Haniya forced a smile.
"Then why are you crying apy" as Halima crawled up to Haniya's lap and sat while hugging her.
"Because I am very happy my love" caressing Halima's head and pecked her cheeks..
"Why are you so happy to cry?" Halima aksed in confusion ..
Haniya smiled softly as her eyes went half close.. her cheeks lightly raised as her heart calmed down by a reminder... Haniya said..
"Because Allah.. Our rab choose us to examine and to see if our iman is strong.." She nuzzled her nose with Halima's cheeks as she remembered..
Haniya said..
Our prophet Muhammad ﷺ said...
"The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial..When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns his wrath"
