When Life Begins ---------
While I stood there, lost in the proceedings and environment, Saleh
whispered:
“Naimah is frantically looking for you”.
“Is everything alright”? I enquired.
“It’s an interesting affair. You would better come along.” Saleh
responded.
After saying so, Saleh held my hand and in a moment, we were
standing besides Naimah.
I was surprised to see the sight of a girl as pretty as a fairy, standing
next to Naimah. I tried to recall who she was, but I could not. Naimah
introduced her to me:
“This is Amoorah. She belongs to the nation of Prophet Noah
PBUH
After that, Naimah started to give Amoorah more details about my
life but in doing so, she started to shower me with excessive praise and
tributes.
. I
met her over here. She desired to meet the last Holy Prophet or one of
his eminent followers. I was not in a position to arrange a meeting with
the Holy Prophet; however, I thought I would introduce her to you
instead. After all, you are amongst his distinguished followers.”
I interrupted Naimah and said to Amoorah:
“Naimah is my wife. So understandably, she exaggerates in praising
me. However, she correctly pointed out that I could arrange for you to
meet some of the eminent people from amongst the followers of the
last Prophet, or even the Holy Prophet himself.”
Naimah did not like my humility and uttered crossly, “If I am
exaggerating, then please explain to us that why is this angel with you
all the time? And what do you have to say about all the places he takes
you to?”
In order to kill the argument I said:
“Ok, I give up! But, please provide more details about Amoorah”.
Amoorah was amused by our conversation and said, “Human beings
will never change; they haven’t done so in a thousand years or even
after being resurrected. You are quarrelling just like my parents used to
do”.
“I have met Amoorah’s parents as well”, Naimah said in a jovial
mood. However, her next sentence solved the mystery of her
excitement and the reason for calling me back from the Plane of
Judgement:
“Amoorah’s not married to anyone over here.”
Saleh confirmed my suspicion as he whispered into my ear:
“Naimah called for you so that you could meet your future
daughter-in-law.”
Naimah was trying to find a suitable wife for Jamshaid. She had
succeeded in her pursuit to the extent that she considered Amoorah to
be a suitable candidate. Yet, I was not aware whether the bride and
groom to be, had even met or approved this match. That aspect,
however, did not seem to bother Naimah too much. In Naimah’s view,
her own approval seemed to the main prerequisite for this match.
I asked Amoorah, “Where is your husband, Amoorah”?
Amoorah answered shyly, “In the previous world, I died when I was
only 15 years old. I used to be ill frequently since my early childhood. As
compensation, the most merciful God decided to grant me entry to the
Paradise without any accountability”.
“And the rest of the decisions concerning you are being made by
your future mother-in-law!” I mused.
Saleh probably heard my thoughts as a smile appeared on his face.
Amoorah said:
“It was really nice to meet all of you. We shall stay in touch in the
Paradise as well. I should leave now. My parents must be looking for
me.”
Naimah also turned to go along with her but I stopped her and said,
“Hold on Naimah, I have something to discuss with you”.
Naimah said to Amoorah, “Could you wait for me where we had
met earlier, Amoorah? I will join you shortly”.
I commented jokingly, “Naimah, take Amoorah’s mobile number.
Otherwise, how will you find her in the crowd?”
