Requital (COMPLETED)

Chapter 9 - Influence

"When a glass is broken, the sound of breaking disappears immediately where as the glass pieces are scattered over the ground hurting whoever walks over it.Similarly, when you say something that hurts peoples emotions and feelings, the voice disappears immediately but the hearts remains in pain for long."

Therefore, don't say except good and remember always the nine advises and prohibitions that Allah Al Mighty gave us in Surath Al Hujuraat (The Sura of Islamic Manners) before you say something to anyone:

1- فتبينوا:
"Fa Tabyano": Investigate: if you received an information lest you harm people out of ignorance.

2 - فأصلحوا:‎
"Fa Asliho" Make settlement: between your brothers as believers are brothers.
‎
3- وأقسطوا:
"Wa Aqsito": Act justly: whenever there is a dispute try for settlement and act justly among both parties as Allah loves who acts justly.

4 - لا يسخر:

"La Yaskhar": don't ridicule: people perhaps they may be better than you to Allah.

5 - ولا تلمزوا:
"Wa La Talmizo": Do Not insult: one another.

6-ولا تنابزوا:

"Wa La Tanabazu": Do Not call offensive nicknames each other.

7- اجتنبوا كثيرا من الظن:

"Ijtanibu Kaseeran min AlZan" aviod negative assumptions, indeed some of the assumptions are sin.

8 - ولا تجسسوا:
"Wa La Tajsasu" and don't spy on each other.

9- ولا يغتب بعضكم بعضا:

"Wa La Yagtab": Do not backbite each other: as its a major sin and like eating your dead brother's flesh.

He sat on the carpeted floor, his back resting against his bed, Zahra sat cross legged infront of him, a stern expression covered her soft features as she reprimanded him like she was his mother.

He was still dressed in the same clothes he was wearing the night before. Before he could even use the bathroom or brush his teeth and get rid of his morning breath, she pounded on the door like a lunatic police woman, demanding answers from him.

He was still groggy, he hadn't even got a chance to drink his morning cup of coffee and he was sure he still had traces of drool that had dried up on the side of his mouth, but she didn't damn care ! Crazy, lunatic, mad woman !

He felt so sorry for her hushand right now.

He zoned out as his brain sympathised with him for having to deal with a moody sister early in the morning, but zoned right back in when he felt a hard thwack on the side of his head.

"Owww!" , he howled in pain, glaring at her, as he rubbed the abused part of his head.

"Sorry but you needed it !"
