I am a Muslim believer and I know Islam has its own morals and value system.

I am a Muslim believer and I know Islam has its own morals and value system." Fitnah continued, "These so-called morals are nothing other than chains and rules; an abyss in which you will be kept away from society. You are at the threshold of life; don't allow reactionary ideas to disturb your happy future!" "You are mistaken. There is nothing reactionary in religion. Ahmad is sure to make me happy.

He is everything to me and I love him very much." Fitnah told her, "Yet, you won't be everything to him. You will be just like any other thing in his life." "Oh, no, I am aware of my status in his heart." "Well, as long as you are engaged, he will display all his love and passion. But when you live together, you will find out what a Muslim man is really like!" Losing patience, Sumayah asked, "Am I not a Muslim also?" "Yes, you are a Muslim girl, but not of Ahmad's type!

My point of view is that the woman should have complete freedom to enjoy all of life's pleasures. Ahmad will only control yours, as if you were his slave." "This is strange," Sumayah commented. "Why do you hate and misrepresent Islam, although you are a Muslim woman? Has Europe corrupted you?" Fitnah answered, "Oh, no. My affection for you has prompted me to speak frankly.

Though I was happy when I heard the news of your engagement, I also felt sorrow, since I wished a better future for you." "How can you be so sure that I won't have a good life?" Sumayah asked. Fitnah said, "If your husband is of those few who boast of Islam and its ethics, he will never make you happy." "What do you mean by 'few'?

Can't you see there are millions of believers everywhere?" "I mean those who have only recently adopted hollow ideals, which they use to dominate woman and control her by imposing limits and barriers on her under the cover of Islam." "But a Muslim man also has limits", Sumayah replied. "Well, they are free to do what they like.

Hasn't Ahmad been to Europe several times?" "He is going to Paris soon, as a matter of fact, in order to forward his thesis for his doctorate and to sign some business contracts." "Then he has the right to go, but you have not! Can't you see? He is free to go wherever he wishes. As for you, Islamic limits hold you back." "I don't agree with you. Ahmad and I share the same ideas.

I am satisfied with Islamic limits." "I am afraid you will wake up suddenly one day and it will be too late!" Fitnah predicted gloomily.
