Assalam alaykum dear reader , hope you had a good day or night , thank you again for reading my book.

...:-X.....................;;;,,,,,

I was waken up by my alarm.

"Aargh Madinah can you please switch off your alarm ? "  asked my younger sister slightly raising her head from the pillow

" sorry " I mumbled sitting up on my bed and stretching

"Who wakes up at 4:00 am?  " she asked pushing her face at into her pillow

"A true devotee of Allah " I said switching my alarm off and heading into the washroom

I quickly said a dua before I entered the washroom and gently closed the door,  I wasn't a noisy person I truly despised noise.

I washed my face and took my udhu and slowly left the washroom as expected my sister was already snoring

I quietly chuckled to myself,  I wonder how her future husband will handle all her sleep.

I went to my cupboard and took my hijab out along with my prayer mat

I slowly leaned over my bed and switched off the lamp

I walked out of my room , and into the quiet hallway,  I passed my brothers room slowly checking on him , as usual sleeping,  I don't know why but I always had a tendacy of checking on everyone in the house when I woke up.

I heard into the sitting room and slowly spread my mat on the floor,  then started my long prayer

I usually pray at 4:00 a prayer before fajir,  our prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him ) used to pray at the morning hours where most people were asleep.

I finished my prayer and sat there at a state of peace and calmness,  I loved that feeling,  the feeling of being close to your lord , your Creator.

I heard movements upstairs, my mother was up,  I slowly stood up folding my prayer mat into a neat square.

"Madinah , is that you? " I heard my mothers sweet voice

" yes mother it's me " I replied

" why are you always up at this time?  " she asked stretching herself

I would usually be in bed by now but I guess she woke up early.

"Prayer mom " I said heading into the kitchen after her

"Oh well why didn't you wake me ? " she said removing the kettle from the cupboards,  she was an big fan of praying,  I guess that's where I got manners of prayer from.

I smiled at her and hugged her from behind

" because my lovely mother works hard everyday and needs rest " I said giggling

" hush now stop that child " she said chuckling.

We suddenly heard crying,  Nadia was up

"I'll go get her " I said smiling at my mother

I went over to the baby room and saw my sister standing up on her baby bed and immediately stopped crying when she saw me

"Maina " she said stretching her hands for me

"Its madinah habibti " I said slowly lifting her up from her bed
