with a brilliant flash of light her daughter reappeared. Mom was so relieved, especially when she saw that she had tripped over the garden hose. Her daughter helped her up and then started talking fast, in an excited voice: "Mom, listen. How would you like to come live with us,
in the future? We have all kinds of high tech conveniences (think jetsons,
on steroids.) We've colonised space!! Isn't that great!!! In fact, my husband and I are thinking of buying a house on Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, recently colonized. The housing is quite cheap. The main
reason why we want to move from earth is because of massive pollution.
When earth started getting too crowded, people started building subterranean cities with artificial lighting to mimic sunlight. Several years later, earth has become almost uninhabitable, due to pollution. So there's
this program that aims to move all the people off the earth by enticing them with cheap housing so that cleanup operations can begin. Oh, I forgot to tell you how I got here. It was through my husband's experimental time machine. It seems to have broken down. One it's fixed, my husband should be here. We also have a new internet. It's called VRnet
for Virtual Reality net. My brother has taken to VR RPGs (no, not Rocket
Propelled grenades, Role Playing Games!).  Where was I??  Oh yeah, moving! We're going to buy a new family space ship for moving. It's got the most advanced antimatter
propulsion system in its class! So, Mom, whaddya say?? Pretty please with genetically modified cherries on top??

Mom is hesitant. "But what about Dad? And the cute unicorn?" "No problem, we'll go back in time and get them!" said the daughter. "So how bout it Mom, huh?"

P.S.(hope I didn't spoil it. One can always make mom refuse!)

"but wait!" said betsy looking at the kitten and baby. "what about the aliens!" she thought back for a minute..."they said that they need our help...and they also said......." there was a large crash in the kitchen. KABOM! she hurried on with her slippers the wrong way. at her eyes her husband was there. she put the baby aside and pushed her kitty away.
"where haveyou been (weeping)??" betsy wiped her tears and held on to his arms and said that she wouldn't let go until he told her what was happening...
"well" he said with a sad face..."i went to my mothers funeral at first."
betsy looked at him with straight eye. "HUH??? she died?" betsy said.

Betsy looked up.  The voice sounded familiar.  She was sure she'd heard it before, but she had never seen this nurse in her life.  As she stared, she almost thought the nurse's eyes flashed green at her.
I just want to see my husband, she said.  His unicorn was slaughtered and I want to make sure he's ok.
OOOOHHH YOUR HUSBAND....... YEEEEEESSSSSS

later on after her and her father talked together he said, "oh sorry i have delayed your apointment on meeting your husband. come with me."
they left the roof of the hospital. betsy running down the stairs. they reached the basement 10 minutes later. "what are we doing here?" asked betsy. "this is not where you put sick people." her father began to tear. "sorry betsy." he began to weep. "this is the fridge floor where we put dead people!" he wept for about 15 minutes while betsy was in state of shock. suddenly her father fell to the floor and was in faint. betsy didn't have to run to the hospital cause she was in the hospital...she dragged him to the main floor, gave him to a doctor who was sighing down the hallway. he quickly carried him and ran...betsy watched as he got farther and smaller. then she looked ahead and took a deep breathe. " hi, i am here to visit my husband. his last name is Ryasin. could i see him please." the nurse (front desk lady) took a while to find his files while betsy thought about why her father took her to the basement. "OH! yes here it is." said the nurse relived. "you could see him now i guess." she told betsy. then she turned a pressed a button on the wall. an assistant came running and said "here, may i help you?" he looked at the nurse. "Janet take this woman to floor CC and door number 885." said the nurse. "Be right back." said the assistant to the nurse. she took betsy's hand and ran up the nearby stairs. "here you go" said the assistant. "bye now"
Betsy knocked twice before she went in and opened the door. "huh?" said a voice behind the door. "no one visited me now for 2 years." before betsy walked in she wept quickly for what she heard him say.
at her sight her husband was there! "my husband!" said betsy whispering. she walked over and kissed his hand. "its me, betsy." she said tears flooded her eye balls. "betsy" said her husband. "i sent you over 0 letters by the mysterious man. did you get them?" he asked softly. "yes," said betsy. "but i couldn't write back because i didn't know you at first, and secondly because you can't reply to a hospital." the nurse came in and took betsy away. "ITS TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE!" said this thick ugly voice. "COME WWITH MEE!" the nurse grabbed betsys arm and pushed her to the door. "betsy, betsy" said her husband. "BETSY" he said a bit louder.

She looked around the room and seeing that it was an unused private room, there wasn't much in it - a bed, a wardrobe, and a locker beside the bed. She looked in the wardrobe but there was nothing in it. Then she slid open the drawer on the locker. Lying in the drawer were two books - "The Bible" and "The Qu'ran".  "hhmmm.. " Betty mused..

She fell asleep while she was reading and started to dream.  In her dream she was conscious of being in a quiet serene place although she couldn't quite see everything so vividly.  She could smell an amazingly wondrous scent, filling her nose and lungs with not only sweet scent but with an explicit air of happiness.  She also managed to discern a soft melodious sound in the air.  She walked slowly down the path of an amazingly green garden filled with wondrous flowers and suddenly she heard the soft rippling of water. She turned to her left and lo behold, a stream filled with the purest milk makes it way slowly.  She scooped a cupful and Masya'Allah the sweetness of the milk is like nothing she had ever seen.  Still she is aware of a longing she has...the longing to meet a Beloved.  She heard a voice to her right and turned......

"verily after hardship comes ease, verily after hardship comes ease"

THIS was what she wanted to hear!!
She read on...
Therefore, when you are free (from your immediate task), still labour hard,
And to your Lord turn (all) your attention...

Betsy thought about this.
She was free now.
She had decided to become free when she went into that room.
And to your Lord turn your attention.
Who is my Lord?  She thought?  My husband?  He's dying in his room, he's not my lord?
my imagined daughter?  I created her, she didn't create me.
those aliens?  They can't be my Lord, they asked ME for help...
Who is my Lord?
My Lord is the one who doesn't need help,
who is not created, but who has created
who does not die....
My Lord is above all these things....
My Lord....

Thank you my Lord, for making me think about You.
She picked up the Qur'an and opened it to the first page, deciding to read the whole bool.  Maybe it would give her a better idea of who her Lord was.
"Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds".....
that's Him!!
"The most Benificient, the most Merciful"
tears came to her eyes
"The Master of the Day of Judgment"
day of judgment... I'd stopped thinking about that.
"You we worship, and from  you we seek help."
Yes!!! Help me worship You!!! This is what I need right now!!  Help me!
"Lead us to the straight path"
That's where I want to go.  I've been spinning around in circles ever since I can remember....

"Mrs Adam i presume?" the doctor asked.  Betsy nodded "How is he?  Can i see him now?"

"He's very critical, but he's stable and with a lot of rest and care he will recover.  You may see him now."  

Betsy thanked the doctor and went into the room. As she walked towards her husband lying helpless on the bed. She thanked Allah for saving him and her family.   Betsy went over to her husband and held his hand.
"My dear," she said "I've found the path.  The path which you wanted me to follow for so long. Now we can follow it together."

"Allahu Akbar!!!"...her husband was weak, so she made herself comfortable on the seat beside him and started reciting from the Quran. Her favorite verse "Verily after hardship comes ease, Verily after hardship comes ease". She caught a beautiful glimmer of a smile on her husband's face as they drifted off to sleep...
She found herself in the garden....wow! How luscious, how beautiful...As she walked along the banks of the stream she saw beautiful green birds fluttering around with beaks of gold...Then she heard it, again...the most beautiful, melodious voice, blending in with the bubbling stream, the chirping birds, the rustling leaves..blending in, but still distinct in its melody. Her heart beat faster, and the longing returned...she felt like somebody was tugging her heart...This incredible love! This yearning!
She walked slowly towards the voice...and in the middle of the perfect meadow, sat a man, engulfed in a surreal light, engrossed in his recitation...She was mesmerized....she walked ever so slowly until she was a bow length away and sat humbly, her heart weighed by the sweetness of the moment. Tears started pouring down her eyes, tears of understanding, love, tears of purification, tears that dropped from the recesses of her soul...calling her to the One, The Only....
The man quietly stopped reading and raised his head for the first time to look at her....

his eyes were big brown ,welcoming soothing. her heart softly missed a beat..she was staring.she knew it should not be so,she tried to look away but her gaze remained fixed. he sat , in front of her yet she could not discern his features..only his eyes , his smile. . her skinny body shivered in the noon day sun. there were no shadows across her heart. she felt fragile yet strong .  ..she heard words of love whispered into her ear.  her eyes closed .yet she could not lose the vision ..it was real she could reach out to touch him.,but she did not .. her heart silently sang ...with his. a lonely tear ran to the corner of her lips....the bluebirds flew above , the poppies stood upright..and the world stood still..she was not alone yet she was. she was afraid yet she was not she was in love yet she was not..

he was tall ,he was short..he was thin  .. he existed yet he did not..

she did not understand..he did not try to explain...

She slipped into the house, happy to smell food in the kitchen. She loved when sam visited he was a chef afterall!
Over dinner they chatted about her husband's dying condition, and her dream! She couldn't pinpoint the tangible feeling she has had since about wanting more out of her life...more serenity...She reflected about the Qari in her dream "That light he had about him came from an inner dimension that just irradiated his whole being"...How do I achieve such enlightement Sam?
Sam, looked at her, and began speaking, slowly measuring his words...

[slm] for sam did not know how to describe wat he felt, he finally admitted to her that he had the same dream!!! :o He told her u his heart felt tight and pure, and peaceful from the recitation.(Sam was not Muslim, but his brother was a revert) all of a sudden the phone rang......It was the Doctor who treats Betsy’s husband. Sam picking up the phone, with no response in his face, except shock. All of a sudden he finds him self saying Inalillahi wa ina ilihi raj3oune. he was shocked on how he could say such thing while he never spoke one word of Arabic. But he recalled it from his dream. Betsy's husband was long gone to the road that will take us all.....while Betsy was.....

listening to him. she knew arabic but she was out of her mind. after sam hung up he was so yellow. "who called?" asked betsy playing with the baby. "uuuh-welll-mmhm (clear throat)" sam wailed around for a while.
"WHO WAS IT" asked betsy out of tone.
"i dont know!" said sam he got up and left the house with out his coat. "well whoever that was." betsy dialed the *who called last #* and waited. the operator answered and said the number which called last. "the last number that called your line is 414-567-2287" betsy dialed that number and asked what they just called about. "oh", said the woman who ansered the phone. "we just wanted betsy hatstach to know that her relative has died 1 hour ago after operation. could i help you for that?" betsy shut the phone before she could blink. (weeping)  :( it was a sad story but betsy knew life was that way.

What Betsy also found amazing was how she could one minute be in the hospital, the next at home, the next she suddenly has a baby to play with and never mind the fact her bebzi supply was running seriously low, since Sam the Bebsi guzzler came to stay...  [] All of a sudden she heard a loud banging...BANG...BANG...BANG.....Betsy's head felt heavy and she dropped onto the floor........
....opening her eyes, Betsy found herself in bed...BANG...BANG...BANG...."What the???" She jumped out of bed and looked out the window. "Hi honey..!" said her husband waving up at her. He was in the back yard chopping wood.

Betsy was overjoyed..."It was all a dream... :) :) :)" But one thing remained with her from the dream, and that was the beautiful feeling she had while reading the Qur'an. She resolved to buy a copy that morning and to start reading it again......

Betsy kissed her husband goodbye. He was going away to a business conference and wouldn't be back for four days. She held up her little baby, Belinda, for him to kiss goodbye. Waving until the car drove out of sight, Betsy considered the tasks she had set herself for the day. First things first, she really needed to go shopping, firstly to replenish her Bebsi supply and secondly to finally buy the Qur'an.
She strapped her young daughter into her car seat, started the car and drove down the driveway......

(getting back to the story)

Betsy was feeling depressed about the situation of Muslims in the world, and how they were being opressed, especially after September 11th.  She remembered visiting London a few months ago with her husband, and remembering how passionate the Muslims were there especially one brother who started a business there called Mujaahid Enterprises.  She remembered the phone number for Mujaahid Enterprises and decided to give it a call.

When she dialed the phone number there was a welcome message that said:

Press 1 if you are a brainwashed American.
Press 2 if you would like an autographed photo of me.
Press 3 if you would like to join my training camp.
Press 4 if you would like to discuss the Taliban
Press 5 if you want to hear the latest news from Azzam.
Or press 6 to leave a general message.

So Betsy pressed....

She hung up, feeling excited and relieved..."I can't wait to read the glorious words that seeped so deep into my essence".
She put Belinda to sleep and started dinner, suddenely the phone suddenely rang! Her heart skipped a beat...Could it be?

he started by first telling her she has to  become muslim, to wear niqab, no work,no tv, no music ,he went on and on.  :o
