Abdullah (Abdul Shams) asked them to stay for a few more days, but Abul Hasan got permission by promising to return soon. Abdullah said that we still need to know a lot about Islam.
It would be great if you leave Talha here.
Abul Hasan looked at Talha and replied,
I am willing to leave them here if they like. Talha gladly accepted the invitation.
The next day, Abul Hasan's companions had left to repair the ship's sails and buy the necessary provisions for food.
After consulting Dilip Singh and Abdullah, Abul Hasan filled eight elephants with all his capital and the rest of the ship with coconuts.
In the evening, Abul Hasan was walking in Abdullah's garden when he heard someone's footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, Salma was standing.
Now there was a picture of sadness and boredom. Those eyes that were more captivating and brighter than the stars of the dark night, were now full of brilliance. he asked a little incredulously,
Salma!
What are you doing here?
Seeing Abul Hasan's restraint,despite his efforts to restrain himself,tears spilled out of his trembling lips, and a sound drowned in the depths of pain came out.
You are leaving the day after tomorrow?
Yes, but what happened to you?
Have you been stopping?
Nothing!
Nothing!
The tear-soaked smile did not leave an impression on Abul Hasan's heart.
He said to Salma!
You are still the same.
Despite accepting Islam, I do not see any change in you.
A Muslim girl's most modesty is modesty.
You are still surprised by me.
On your request, I have changed my clothes,
I have prayed, I have not stepped outside the house since the day before yesterday.
Is it also necessary that I do not even come in front of a Muslim?
Yes!
This is also important.
I am leaving Talha.
He will inform you about the duties of a Muslim woman and will teach you the correct teachings of Islam.
Salma replied,
"I don't need any other education."
Whatever you order,I will obey.
At your signal,
I am ready to jump off a mountain and jump into the sea with my hands and feet tied?
Abul Hasan said,
Salma!
If you are so dear to my happiness, then listen!
I don't want anything else except that you should conform to the mold of Islam from head to toe. Every intention and every action of a true Muslim should not seek the happiness of any human being but the happiness of God.
There should be no place in the heart for tears and sighs.
Life is a great test for a Muslim.
By his side should be a heart that is not afraid to sacrifice even the highest desires of life in the cause of God.
His chest should be pierced by arrows, but not even a sigh came out of his tongue.
If you go to Arabia, you will probably be surprised to see that Muslim women leave their husbands, brothers and sons for war(jihad), but there are no tears in their eyes, on their foreheads. Difficult does not even come and that is only because she prefers the pleasure of God to every pleasure in the world. If you have accepted Islam to please me, I regret to say that you do not understand Islam.
If you want to please God, go home,
I am sending Talha, he will start teaching you Quran today.
I want you not to meet me at sea a mile from the shore ,when I come back, and i don't have to search for you in the woods and mountains.
I will be happy to see that after changing the name of Abdul Shams, the map of his house has also changed and a Muslim girl is being brought up in these four walls.
Salma asked optimistically, when will you come?
I cannot fix the day, but the intention is to return from there as soon as I buy the horses, but if I have to go somewhere for Jihad (war), I may not come again.
Sadness covered Salma's face once again and she said with tears in her eyes, no, don't do this!
God will surely bring you back.
"If you continue to pray, I will definitely come, InshAllah,"
Said Salma.
Prayer?
What do you say, if my prayer can be accepted, why would you intend to go?
Abul Hasan suddenly realized that he had talked too much. He said making his accent a little harsh.
Go Salma!
If all the women of Arabia would pray like you, the light of Islam would not go beyond the borders of Arab.
Salma returned regretfully, these words coming out of her mouth again and again.
I am very stupid, I am very stupid.
Why did I say that?
After a while she went to the room.
The sun, glowing like a hot iron plate on the western horizon, was preparing to dive into the water. Somewhere in the sky, light clouds were reflecting the red of the twilight. The gusts of humid air were playing a melodious melody on the coconut leaves.
Leaving all the surrounding scenes,
Salma's eyes focused on the Arab ship on the seashore. There was excitement in the heart.
She raised her hands and prayed,
O owner of dryness and softness! Give me the faith of a Muslim woman.
Show me the straight path and do not be surprised to see me when they return.
