Are You Hearing Voices?

P. 26

Christy stared at Jason and looked at him in the eyes as he spoke.

"But... why do I have to go to my room?" She asked.

"Because... You don't know how to handle your high." Jason said.

"Bae yes I do, I just wanna make you feel good..." She said as she got up from the couch and began to walk towards Jason.

Jason held his hand up and started to retreat. "STAY AWAWY FROM ME!"

"You come any closer I'm gonna walk out the door I swear!" He said.

Christy frowned. "Bae... I'm sorry." She said as she was on the brink of tears.

Jason extended his hand and pointed upstairs.

"Go to your room please!" He said.

"Okay bae... But you're not gonna leave right?" She said.

"If you go to your room I won't."

"Okay." Christy said.

She then got up from the couch and slowly began to climb up the stairs. Jason looked at her as she ascended up.

"Don't come back down until you sober up." He said.

Christy turned around and frowned, then she nodded her head up and down. She then turned back around and went all the way up the stairs and into her room, then she shut the door behind her.

Once Jason heard the door closing he went and sat down on the couch in the middle of the living room and folded his legs. Arnold appeared on the couch next to him, he wasn't hovering. He turned his head towards Jason and smiled.

"You did the right thing." He said.

He turned his head towards Arnold and looked at him.

"But why does it... Feel wrong?" He said.

"Allah is pleased with you, that's all that matters." Said Arnold.

Jason nodded his head slowly up and down. Arnold then began to hover and went in front of Jason's face. Jason was looking at him directly in the eyes but his mind was elsewhere. He was thinking about Christy. He could've easily just manipulated her mind and do to her whatever he wanted, but for some reason... He just couldn't.

Arnold came closer to his face and placed his hands on his cheeks and looked at him in the eyes.

"Jason... In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, Jibreel (peace be upon him) asked the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) about ihsaan. He said: 'It is to worship Allah as if you can see Him, for although you cannot see Him, He can see you.'" He said.

Jason looked at the small hovering miniature figure in the eyes.

"I sense confusion in your eyes. Would you like me to elaborate?" Arnold asked.

Jason nodded his head up and down. Arnold stopped grabbing his cheek and he folded his legs.

"What this means is that: Even though Christy is your wife, and you have had intercourse with her many times. Right now she is not in her right state of mind, if you was to do anything to this girl or touch her in any way than you would be taking advantage of her, because right now she has a loose mind. Deep down inside you know what is the right thing to do." Arnold said.

"And you did just that. And for that... Allah will reward you. Because even though you could've followed your hedonistic nature and do whatever you want with that girl, you abandoned it and chose to do the right thing."
