E-NADAHA !!: the thief...

She was so lonely..she thought:it's very hard for me to be this lonely,i know that it's only been a couple of days but it had been so hard..please allah make it easy for me..

She wanted to pray so she kept looking for her praying gown..it was a mess..moving and everything,so she couldn't find it.

She put her 3abaia and veil on and kept praying and praying ..asking allah for help..she finished and reached out for the quraan tape that she loved listening to,it was way past midnight.

.the sound of the words made her at ease..she relaxed on the couch and stretched her legs while mumbling all kinds of tasbee7 and praising allah..thanking allah...she closed her eyes,surrendring to the comfortable feeling she was having.

In a while,something didn't feel right..she opened her eyes to find someone with a mask standing by the door.

she was shocked..she wanted to scream but her voice wouldn't come out and finally she said:la ilah ila allah..la ilah ila allah.

the man said while coming a little bit closer::don't say a word..where is your money??take off your jewelery..

she hardly said::o.k..i'll give you every thing..and she started to reach out for her purse while somehow at the same time taking off her necklace..with trembeled fingers it was hard for her to do both..she kept thinking.:..me..this is happening to me...

when he saw her struggeling to do anything he reached out and took her purse..he found the money ..put it in his pocket and said::come on give me the necklace..hurry..takeoff the earrings..

she took them off while feeling very sorry for him that he is taking forbidden money...she found her self saying:why are you doing this??this is forbidden..you could ask allah for forgivness and stop doing that..

HE stoped wondering around looking for something to steel..he looked at her,and said:forbidden!!..forgivness!!

for a seconed it seemed to her that he is thinking the words over..so,she said:yes,yes..you seem at the age of my sons..i can give you what ever you want and i'll forgive you..but you must go now and promise that you are going to stop steeling..he was stunned for seconeds but suddenly he shouted::shut up,don't say a word..if you scream i will kill you.

he walked out side of her bedroom..she thought he was leaving so she started to wipe away her tears and unconciously wanted to see where did he go..

the moment she reached the door,she found him pushing her inside very hard

..she said:what do you want..horrified ofcourse and crying more strongly and loudly..she stepped back and again he pushed her inside further..she was so scared..she said:please stop..why are you pushing me inside the room??

she started to get hesterical cause all the possibilities entered her mind..they struggeled..he kept beating her on the face..with a sudden twist in attitude and she was defending herself by keeping him away from her..suddenly a strange force came into her..she pushed him away very very hard..that he fell...

he took a knife and came closer to her while saying::look what you'll make me do ..i'll spend twenty years in prison instead of five beacause of you..and sadly while he was stabbing her several times in the stomach..she was screaming:la ilah ila allah..mohamad rasool allah...suddenly he stoped to look at her..with his eyes wide open..hardly grasping for breath..stunned by what he was seeing..

She didn't have a scratch..not a single drop of blood on her ..he looked at his knife..clean and bright..he was amazed and stunned and didn't know what to think..he dropped the knife and ran for the window where he jumbed and disappeared in the bushes...

she woke up a few moments later from a short faint to surprisingly find her self safe and sound..not believing what happened she mumbeled ::thank allah..thank allah.

After calling her sons and the police ..she spent three days in re-living what had happened and on the fourth day she knew that he was caught and that he confessed to18 other thefts including hers..

and to make the story even more strange he asked to talk to her and some how convinced the police officer to call her for him...she just couldn't answer but later he managed to confront her at the police station where she had to go..he remorsely cried and asked for her forgivness..promising that after her incident he asked allah for forgivness and intented to quit steeling once and for all..

she felt that his remorse is jenuin..she felt that allah saved her with a miracle for reasons beyond her comprehension..she forgave him..she sent him religious books and taught him how to mention allah at all time..

his last words for her was::i wish you were my mother..

I will not say anything further..i can only promise you one thing::

this is a true story...
