The story that prompted my reflections
It was after Salatul Magrib. We had stopped at a nearby mosque to quickly pray and go out for dinner after. I had just finished my sunnahs and was getting up to leave when I saw the young girl dressed in a mink-coloured jilbab sitting a few places away from me, smiling up at me. When she saw I’d noticed her, her smile widened.
Did I know her?
Assalamualikum, I greet her, almost hoping she’d give away how she knew me because my bad memory was not helping at that moment!
Waalaykum salaam, she replied, still with that beautiful smile on her face.
What’s up? I asked her, still not wanting to give away that I had no idea who she was.
I saw her brows furrow in thought, seeing her mentally debate with herself whether she should bring up whatever was on her mind or not.
What advice would you give someone who’s starting a new school soon?
A part of me wanted to advise her not to ask any randomer for life advice lol.
