Veil of Truth

Chapter 3

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever recites Surah Yaseen in the morning, his needs will be fulfilled."
(Ibn Hibban, Sahih)

This hadith indicates that reciting Surah Yaseen early in the morning can be a source of blessings, helping to fulfill one's needs for the day. It serves as a reminder of Allah's mercy and power, and it is often recited for various personal requests, including health, ease, or even spiritual relief.

She woke up to the sound of the alarm ringing, its irritating tone cutting through the early morning silence. With a groan, she reached out to turn it off and slowly got out of bed.

She made her way to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, took a cold shower, and performed wudu. Once done, she came out of the bathroom, followed by her skincare routine. She then donned her khimar, preparing herself for the pre-dawn prayer, as it was 4 AM.

She stood in prayer, asking Allah for her parents' long and healthy life. After completing her tahajjud prayer, she recited Surah Yaseen, and by the time she finished, it was time for Fajr. She prayed her Fajr Salah with devotion.

Once done, she began preparing for her university day. She was in her final year of medical school, determined to become a cardiologist for reasons close to her heart. She dressed in her abaya and niqab, gathered her things, and left her apartment.

After locking the door, she started her car and drove off toward the university, ready to face another day on her academic journey.

After arriving at her university, she turned off the engine of her car and stepped out, taking a deep breath as she looked toward the front gate. There, standing with an infectious grin on her face, was her best friend. With a wave, she called out to her, her smile radiating warmth and excitement.

The two had been inseparable throughout their years at university, and this moment felt just like old times—no matter how busy or stressful their lives had become, they always managed to find a way to reconnect. Her best friend's cheerful energy was contagious, and it brought a sense of calm to her, as if all the challenges of the day ahead could be handled with her by her side.

With a smile of her own, she waved back and made her way toward her friend, ready to face whatever the day had in store, knowing that no matter how tough things got, they would always have each other.

She hugged her tightly, a burst of warmth filling her chest as she pulled back slightly to look at her friend. "Did you like yesterday's party?" she asked eagerly.

Amina simply hummed in response, a soft, noncommittal sound that made Layla raise an eyebrow.

"I told you, didn't I? I knew you'd enjoy it," Layla teased, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

Amina gave a small shrug but couldn't suppress the slight grin that tugged at the corners of her mouth, acknowledging that maybe, just maybe, Layla had been right.

Amina's mind briefly wandered back to the mysterious boy she had seen at the party. She thought about asking Layla who he was, but then she quickly shrugged it off, pushing the thought aside.

She headed to her first lecture of the day, reminding herself that her finals were fast approaching. It was time to focus. Amina had always been determined to excel in her studies, and she had topped every exam so far. The pressure was on, but she was used to it. She was confident that, with hard work and dedication, she would continue her streak and finish her final year at the top of her class.
