Reminder

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “By Allah, I am not afraid that you will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those who lived before you. So you will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it did them." [Bukhari]

Raja' (The Arrival of Hope)



       "King Said, we got to get out of here, it's going to collapsed, we better move fast", with the rubbles & debris of the ceiling, it was assured that a memory will be a history, the place of great meetings, huge greetings & familiar faces, they all went down with the fire. The prince were held by the guards which without mercy made him go down one his knees, "Stop! This man is no enemy, but a new brother of ours, let him be & escort him to his beloved father, Allah, The al-Mighty", King Said gave the joyful man that's once a vengeful prince, a strong steed for him to go to the campsite with some iron-unifromed soldiers as escort to see his father, one of the great leaders there. Then, they gathered with themselves to discussed about the whereabouts of the opposition, with the fact that the rebels were low on supplies, & surrounded by them, with two groups coming from the east & one group each from the north, south, & west, they got nowhere to go. They decided to ask their new brother, Theodore to help negotiate with the rebels to surrender, but it would be a risk because he might return to the rebels' side, telling every details about our campsites.


                "To end this conflict, to end this massacre , that risk will be worth taking, only if our brother is strong-hearted as his effort to get his father back, this will be a gift by The al-Merciful, Allah". With great speed, they rode to the head tent where the generals made plans for the next forceful attack, where an old king of Healspeak let his tears flow with a great appreciation in his heart for the miracle that was in front of his eyes. After a night of smiles & tears, "Theodore, with the vow that you gave, you're now our brother, one of us, this name is your past, a new life comes with a new name, so let us call you with an honorable name, Ala'iddin. With this, let us pray & waste no time, there's a big favor we need you to do, so that this war will end with no broken hearts, no more". That night, they made a new ally & hope for the start of a new beginning of both relations. At dawn, Ala'iddin rode with King Said & his father to the meeting with the leaders, with a destiny that was yet unwritten.


                      Determination & calmness, those were shown on Ala'iddin face, walking firmly into a big tent, with good quality carved woods as its pillars & rocks were put to them to made it more concrete, there, chairs were set for the guests to show a bit of hospitality, just the sound of the heartbeat that made all the difference. "Salam, to all that could came here today, with great greetings to both sides, we start our negotiations, now that you all have realized your situation, we're requesting that this war end here, now, with the agreement that the rebels, or you all prefer to be known with the name "Old Kingdom", stop your attacks to the villages & the people who open their hearts to Islam. Let them decide their fate, if you still resist, then let it be now, let us justify what's the truth & what's false", with the echoed voice of Ala'idin, they all paralyzed to their seats. "Yes, we agree, for that, let us pass, & give our people shelter, let this be a new greetings as a sign for the acceptance of Islam", the leader of the rebels that sat at the centre, took his hand with a handshake given to King Said. When the trio when out, an insane soldier just showed himself out of the crowd & fired an arrow towards Ala'idin, "Traitor, we will never stop"........
