Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Virtue Prevails Chapter 21 Hamid felt a great struggle taking place within his self. He thought about how to free himself of his wife's domination and start a new, clean life. He reasoned that he wouldn't succeed until he was free of Fitnah's influence. Hamid had previously believed that all people were corrupt to some extent until he saw the goodness embodied in Sumayah. The experience had started as a failure, but it led him to ultimate success.

He felt very hurt by his wife's behaviour, and he wondered if he really could still love her. Could he go on living with her while she had no concern for morals?

He hoped to be able to ask her for her forgiveness. At last he arrived at her home and knocked on the door. A servant opened he door. "How is she?" Hamid asked as he brushed past the maid. She told him that the old woman was dying. Hamid explained that he was her grandson. The servant said, "Oh you are Hamid! She has been asking for you often." The maid led him to a door.
