But I feel bitterness when I see the maid exceeds you in her good appearance.

But I feel bitterness when I see the maid exceeds you in her good appearance." Zaynab replied, "If such measures are the true criterion, I agree that she does exceed me." The mother stated,” In fact, I don't know how you are going to face the famous people there. You will appear so poor and humble among the men and women." "The party is not for both sexes," Zaynab replied. "Had it been like that, I would not have agreed to go.

In any case, there will not be any singers or music of any kind." The mother laughed in a mocking tone and said, "Then the party is for giving a religious speech on the decency of hijab." Zaynab answered quietly, “No! There is no religious speech.

It is only a formal farewell party to a bride starting her honeymoon." The mother feared delay, so she said to her daughter, "Come on; tell me the details on our way to the party." Zaynab put on a long black coat and a scarf on her head as she always did. They got into their car, with the maid carrying a box of her mistress's cosmetics.

While they were driving, Zaynab's mother asked her daughter, "How do you know that the party is not for both sexes?" Zaynab answered, “It was supposed to take place at one of the clubs, according to the bride's mother. But my friend, the bride, is a good believer, as you know. Thus she refused to have her wedding party according to western values, or in defiance of religious morals. Quarrels started between the mother and daughter.

But the groom took the side of the bride, and my friend insisted on canceling the celebration. Finally her mother gave in and agreed to have a simple farewell party." Zaynab's mother was astonished and asked, "Does the groom have the same reactionary beliefs as the bride?" Zaynab tried to smile at her mother's cruel words. She said, “Of course he has the same beliefs, and he is of equal moderation. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to marry him.

A good believer does not marry a playboy who is totally different in beliefs and ideals. Disputes in such matters are a serious threat to a marriage. How can you brand such ideals 'reactionary' while they are the essence of our religion?
