Three People II

Posted on 18th May 2009

There was this girl I met before Asr In Masjid Nabawi. She is Egyptian. And she speaks english.

First she asked me where I am from. I replied I am from Malizia in Arabic. Then she asked me something in Arabic. Then I replied in English that I can't speak arabic. Arabia shuay shuay. Kartun betul.

I was painstakingly trying to memorise a short surah before the prayer. Then she asked, whether I am a tahfidzah. I said no. As in I am not a student or attending any programme to memorise the Quran. I am just trying to memorise some surahs. Then she asked whether she can be of assistance. Subhanallah! I am honoured I said. But mind you, I said to her, I am struggling with it.

I passed her my little Quran. It's a tafsir one. Then I got nervous and nearly could not remember everything that I thought I did memorise. Apa ni???

Then, I wanted to peek into my little Quran but she was very strict and refuse to let me peek. I said I needed the translation, so I can remember the Arabic word. She read to me the translation, strictly covering the Quran from my wild eyes

Such are the Companions of the Right Hand

It took me sometime to think of the word companion. Ahah! Ashabu!

أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ أَصۡحَـٰبُ ٱلۡمَيۡمَنَةِ

After Asr prayer, we chatted for sometime. My lover said he wanted to visit the raudhah, so I thought I can take my time. But later he called because now he wants to go to Uhuh and Quba'. Maka terbantutlah perbualan kami.

We exchanged ideas and basically had a good chat. But I have not emailed her yet. So this post is a reminder for me to email her. I did tell her I will update my status of memorisation which is nothing to be raved about.

Why I remember her a lot? Because I think she inspires me, Subhanallah. Not to mention, Masya Allah, she is really really beautiful. I don't know whether I should listen to her or just watch her. Ada beberapa makcik tua sungguh terpikat dengan dia and sebok bertanyakan perihalnya. :D

And yet she covers her beauty (she wears niqab) for none to see except the rightful ones. Man! I call that strength.
