Layla's POV
"Assalamu alykum sister, Is this Layla?"
"Walaikum assalam... yes.. I am Layla and you are..??"
"Sister, I am Umm e Haroon .. your facebook friend.. I wanted to talk to you about a very important project if you are interested.."
" Oh this is you, Sr Umm e Haroon! How are you dear and how is Haroon? And what project are you talking about.. I would love to know about it?"
"Al hamdulillah we are both fine. Hope you're fine as well.. Layla I actually want to talk about starting a playway Islamic class in your city.. where you live.. we have such classes here in Riyadh and believe me they are wonderful. Such classes are the need of the hour... so the other day I was thinking.. you should definitely start one in your city. I will introduce you to sister who runs one such class here.. she can guide you initially and believe me you have it in you.. you are so creative.. you will eaisly learn everything "
"Islamic classes and me..???"
"Yes You Layla."
"Errm.. but.. how .. I mean I don't have much knowledge of Islam. . Plus I don't know anyone.. how can I do this on my own??"
"I believe only you can do this if you Trust Allah.. just think about it.. remember the first time we talked on Facebook.. you told me about your goals... that's why I could onlu think about you starting these classes. So, here is the chance.. grab it with your teeth Layla."
"Hmm.. you're right but my studies.. I'm pursuing engineering.. I don't think mum and abuji (father) will give me permission.. they might think my studies will get affected"
"You just give it a thought.. anyway dear I got to go now.. Haroon needs me..we will talk again soon.. till then take care habibti.. fee amanillah."
"Hmm.. fee amanillah Umm"
Welllll... yayyyyy I ammm so excited... starting Islamic classes... learning and teaching Islam... Subhan Allah... this is soooo exciting... I so want to do it... butttt Istikhara first... I live in a beautiful city Bangalore with my mum and abuji and brother Abdullah.. and this project is much needed because I know so many people including cousins and friends who don't know even the basics of Islam 🙁.. I don't despise them but I feel sad for them... it worries me what if they continue to stay away from Islam.. what will be there Akhira .. oh... Allahumma Haasibna Hisaaban Yaseera... I will pray Istikhara first and then I will talk to my parents and friends.. in shaa Allah whatever decision is taken will be the best.
* Isha Salah*
"Hmm.. al hamdulillah I feel content after praying Istikhara.. I think I should give this project a try.. if Allah Wills everything will be done in shaa Allah.."
I haven't logged into my facebook from so many days.. lemme check my favorite Sr Yasmeen Mogahed's page 😍...
* while browsing facebook*
"Masha Allah such a beautiful post.. really Sr Yasmeen is wonderful.. lemmme see .. lemme see.. Ah! Sr Asma Hussein.. May Allah reward her for her Sabr... 😔.. well here is another wonderful post by Rehan."
I wonder who is this brother in faith.. hmm.. I don't know why but I have deep respect for him.. even though I don't know him.. and I very well remember how menfolk are.. but his posts are Subhan Allah. but yes.. facebook is a virtual world.. and yes I just dislike his one habit He posts his pictures all the time 😞😞 .. henh.. if girls can become a distraction for guys why can't guys' pictures be distraction for us..... I know I know I sound crazy.. if it was for me I would have made niqab mandatory for boys as well 😅😅 Ima Crazy Niqabi.. agree?😂😂
Anyway time for the beauty sleep.. I don't want to miss the Fajr Salah plus tomorrow is Friday.. andd it's time for my Islamic classes tomorrow.. *excited*
