Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Encounter at the Hospital Part 7: Conflict When Warqa arrived at home, her grandmother met her at the door and said, "We have visitors. Go upstairs and get ready, then come down right away.” "Who are the visitors?" "Mr. Mahir, a cousin of your parents." "What does that have to do with me?" Warqa asked. "He is your cousin too." "It makes no difference to me," said Warqa.

"He is a stranger and I don't want to sit and talk with him for no reason." "Who said there is no reason? He is a wonderful man-educated, understanding and rich," said Warqa's grandmother. "That is enough for you to welcome him! " said Warqa. Her grandmother took hold of her and said, "I won't let you go until you promise to come down. You promised to obey me. Come on now and say 'salam'." “That is all," said Warqa. She walked into the living room and saw Mr.

Mahir and his mother sitting near each other, facing the door. She murmured a few words of welcome as her cousin stood up and asked her to take a seat. Her grandmother said approvingly, "Come here and sit by your cousin." Warqa did not move, but said politely, "I am sorry**,**" I have a lot of homework to do. Excuse me, good-bye." With that, she left the room, and her grand mother became vexed and the guests confused. Warqa ran quickly up the stairs to her room and burst into tears.

She did not know how to get out of this difficult situation. She would not accept Mr. Mahir as a husband since he had loose morals and was not a committed Muslim. It was impossible for her to accept him. She decided to fight the battle, no matter how difficult it might be. An hour later, her grandmother came up to her room. She spoke gently to her, saying, "You have not behaved well today. It wasn't right to treat your cousin that way; you were hard on him, while he loves and respects you.

He only wanted to introduce himself to you." Warqa told her, "I don't like him. He is not a committed Muslim." "You are mistaken," said her grandmother. "He is a gentleman and is rich and successful. He has no relatives except his mother. Just imagine, he has three private cars!" "That is exactly why I think he is worthless! What needs would anyone have for three cars?!" Her grandmother ignored Warqa and continued, "A few months ago, he asked for your hand in marriage.

I suggested to him to wait until you finished your studies. Now that you are taking your final exams, he has renewed his request.
