by herself

in the sweltering heat

sitting beside a woman of her own

faith.

that woman turned to her and 

said

isn't it hot?

what did she say?

to that woman of her own

faith?

A woman who had dropped 

her veil

for the sun

when every drop off sweat when wearing the hijab

is said to be the heaviest on the scale.

What did she say?

to the woman

who would have to face 

Allah swt

and

Answer to him,

why she took off the veil.

She said,

qul naaru jahannam ashaddu harra

Say: The hell fire is hotter.

Ayt. So, I've realised that what has been going on in the story may not have been very clear so I'm just going to do a short story summary.

Three characters: Aleyah, main character, Adrianna, Aleyah's pregnant friend, Aiden, A boy that likes Aleyah.

So we start off with a girl -Aleyah- who is muslim and who prays for people to be guided to the right path. We find that she doesn't live in the nicest of homes since her father treats them badly. Aleyah meets Adrianna. Adrianna is a heavily pregnant girl and they meet because Aleyah comforted her when she was crying. They become friends and have meaningful talks together. Meanwhile, Aiden begins his attempts to woo her, all of which fail. This makes him even more interested. After, Adrianna gives Aleyah a call of distress and Aleyah comes running, finding her friend on the floor, bleeding. The reason why is still unknown. She then flips out on Aiden when he flirts with her due to stress. Aiden wonders why and is left with more questions when he sees her at the hospital.

Hope that helped guys
