[Reached #1 in Spiritual] He stands there tall, but not the same man I saw yesterday. This man had his shoulders slouched, he was heaving up and down. Not strong and confident as his usual self. His back was to me but he was facing the large office wall that's made out of glass. He leaned closer to the glass and put his head against it. His right hand joined and the glass started fogging. His breathing slowly blurring out the lively New York City. "Mr. Saleh?" I Whispered. He sighs heavily and turns around. I was shocked. His eyes were puffy and red. A fresh tear was slowly making its way down his cheek. He cleared his throat and clenched his jaw. "What?"

بسم الله Islam is like a rose. The farther the petals are from the center, the easier it is for them to be plagued with infestation and crinkle up and die. Petals close to the center receive layers of protection and the best nutrients. Muslims that aren't close to Islam fall prey to their peers and environment so easily versus the Muslim's closer to Islam who are the last one's to be victimized to the surrounding world. Meet Layana Ansari. She is what you would call an outsider petal, for she had fallen prey to infestation. Wearing miniskirts and eyeliner, she rules her high school along with her best friend Aurora Kingston and her perfect boyfriend Cameron Evans. She has even given up her Muslim name and taken to being called 'Lana'. No one would ever put 'Lana' and Islam in the same sentence because it just wasn't possible. Meet Seyfullah Ansar. He would be considered an insider petal; his life revolving around Islam. It was his sanctuary from the evil world filled with evil people. He is truly put to the test when his family moves and has to attend a new school. Layana and Seyfullah were two people with no relation to each other before Allah (SWT) destined for them to meet. With a path full of turns and thorns, there is no telling what might happen. (Not your traditional love story) (This story was started 5/1/15)
