One Minute: Hausa Love Story

OM 24

It was relayed on the authority of Abu Dhar al-Ghifari, radiyallahu 'anhu, that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, said, of waht he related from his Lord, magnified and exhalted be He, Who said: "O My servants, I have made oppression unlawful for Me and unlawful for you, so do not commit oppression against one another. O My servants, all of you are liable to err except for those whom I guide on the right path, therefore seek guidance from Me so that I should direct you to the right path. O My servants, all of you are hungry (needy) except for those whom I feed, therefore seek food from Me so that I may feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked (need clothes) except for those whom I provide garments, therefore seek clothing from Me so that I should clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day and I am there to pardon your sins, therefore seek forgiveness from Me so that I should grant you pardon. O My servants, you can neither do Me any harm nor can you do Me any good. O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours and that of Jinns become as pious as the most pious heart of any one amongst you, it will not add anything to My Power or Kingdom. O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours and that of Jinns become as wicked as the most wicked heart of anyone amongst you, it will not decrease anything from My Power or Kingdom. O My servants, even if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours and that of Jinns gather together on a sector of land and all ask of Me and if I were to give everyone of them what they asked, that will not in any way decrease what I have anymore than a needle decreases what is in the ocean when it is put into it. O My servants, these deeds of yours which I am recording for you I shall reward you for them, so he who finds good should praise Allah and he who finds other than that should not blame anyone but himself."

Fahad: Officially Mrs Fahad Ibrahim Garko 🙂😉

Her heart was thumping crazily, as if wanting to escape her ribcage. She reread the message over an over again, As if it'll change the meaning.

"An daura" Echoed around the house followed by countless guda.

She looked up at the mirror, her makeup was neatly done, her hair tied into a neat bun. Hadiza jumped into the room, yeah, like literally. She jumped into the room like a kid high on sweets.

"You are now officially my sister in-law" she squealed in a high pitched voice, earning a small smile from Aysha.

"You look so beautiful, let me send ya Fahad a picture of you" she said bringing out her phone.

"No, wait! I don't have any scarf on" she tried to stop her from taking a picture.

"So? ai yanzu he's your muharram, I'm sending it to him" she said tapping on her phone.

"No!" She lounged at her trying to collect the phone, they fought for the phone for a while before the door opened.

"A'uzubillah, what am I seeing, you two are fighting like small children?" Mama exclaimed as she entered the room, seeing the two playfully fighting on the bed for a phone. "Hadiza, I thought you were the responsible one among the two of you" mama turned to Hadiza, with her hand on her waist.

"Wallahi aunt she started" Hadiza said innocently.

"Did not!" She shot back.

"Oh Allah, Hadiza can you please go and check with the photographer" mama shook her head at them.

"Don't send" Aysha mouthed. Hadiza gave her a mischievous smirk as she exited the room.

"And you, is that what you'll be doing in your own house too, in biki yi hankali yanzu ba yaushe za kiyi" mama scolded and Aysha tried to put on the most innocent look she could muster.
