The Valentine Date.

لا يخلو ن رجل بامرأة .....(بخار ى و مسلم)
أو كما قال صلى الله عليه وسلم

Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said something to this effect: " A (strange) man should not be alone with a (strange) woman"

        (Bukhaari and Muslim)

Farhaad Musa a twenty five year old Architect, unmarried and only support for his mother and younger twenty one year old sister. His father had passed away when he was eighteen years old, eversince, he had to shoulder the responsibility of looking after his family.

Farhaad was an obedient son and a wonderful brother ,the typical overprotective brother who would kill anyone who even laid eyes on his sister. He fulfilled the responsibilities of a son and brother accurately, but lacked in fulfilling the commandments of Allah Ta'allah.

His mother together with praising him for his kindness and service to her , would continuously advise him to be mindful of the commandments of Allah. She would spend many sleepless nights, crying in tahajjud thanking Allah for the son Allah  had bestowed her with , and also begging Allah to guide him and make him a true, practicing Muslim.

Farhaad enjoyed the life of a bachelor, hanging out with friends, late Friday nights, spinning and drags, parties and dating numerous girls.

It was a Saturday night, Valentines night , to be precise. Farhaad's Ferrari pulled up in the driveway of Mug&Bean. He had a blind date, that his friend Naeem and Fuaad organised. They had nothing spectacular planned that weekend so decided to organise a blind date for each other, and the one with the most gorgeous girl would gain some cash. It was really futile , but that was the way they spent most weekends , rating, dating and dumping girls. Nothing but play and amusement.

Farhaad met Naeem and Fuaad at the entrance and they all parted ways , to different tables.Farhaad found a table at the far end of the cafe and sat down , he busied himself on Instagram anticipating his date.

After a good twenty minutes the sound of heels cliciking on the marble tiles caught his attention. He
diverted his attention from the phone to the person who caught his attention. There before him stood a tall and slim girl , her attire hugged her cruves in all the right places,  wearing a black skinny jeans and white and black halter neck polka dot top with black stilettos, her brown hair curled, with highlights of blonde ,  framing her heart shaped face, touching her shoulders. She was fair skinned, she had a light touch of blush on her cheeks, and a rich cherry coloured lipstick on her plump lips. She flashed him a colgate smile.

She was beautiful indeed , but not wife material. He would just date her for one night and never see her again. If only with her beauty, she dressed modestly and refused to date , but only went for marriage he wouldn't mind making her his wife.

How many guys we find in our society that date millions of girls, but when they wish to settle down they look for a chaste and modest girl.... Allah has said in the Quraan something to the effect " Pure men are for pure women and impure men are for impure women ".
The way we behave, the way we live our lives that is the kind of spouse Allah will give us, and it's only fair to have the kind of spouse that is similar to the way we are.

Farhaad smirked at her and mentally rated her eight out of ten. He mentally thanked his friends for their choice.

She introduced herself, Shabana twenty three years old, working in a company and she droned on. It was clear that she understood this date to be a beginning of a new relationship, hence the leghnthy introductuons.
Farhaad just stared at her and nodded absentmindedly not paying the least bit attention to what she was saying.

She snapped her fingers infront of his face catching his attention. She caught him off gaurd by asking him if he would like to join her for dinner at home instead. Surprised by her suggestion he tried making the excuse of not being able to join her with her parents at home , but she assured him they were out of town the whole weekend , visiting some relative.
This spiked his attention , maybe she was taking him home for a meal and wanted to start of an innocent friendship , but he really wouldn't mind having some fun tonight as well. He hadn't taken advantage of any girl, but if this girl was willing to take him to her flat all alone , why would he refuse the offer. He was a man with desires after all, and he was getting this girl for free.

Every part of his mind screamed Danger ! But he ignored it and agreed.
He followed her towards the entrance passing Fuaad, who raised his eyebrows in question. He just shrugged and walked out the door , gesturing Shabana to the car.

They both entered her cozy apartment and he saw that the table was already set for two. Now he realised that this girl really thought that they would be in some serious relationship.

Dinner went by in a blur and Shabana served desert as well , she suggested they watch a movie while eating their deserts. Farhaad had been waiting for an opportunity to escape this woman earlier on , she seemed so desperate at first, but as he actaully started paying attention to what she was saying, he realised all she wanted was a bit of company. Her parents were always working and hardly ever home, and her elder brother was already married and settled.

They sat on the two seater couch wathing the movie in silence. After a while Shabana began feeling sleepy her head bobbing until she finally fell asleep, resting her head on the arm rest. Farhaad never noticed that she was in a deep slumber  until he asked her something , when she didn't respond he turned to her and realised she was asleep.

At that moment Farhaad regretted accepting her invitation for he was now alone with a woman and the third person was shaytaan , whispering evil thoughts to him. He thought of leaving immediately before things got out of control and he did something he would regret later. Instead he found his hand tracing her cheek and moving her hair out of her face. She was an innocent soul , how could he play with her feelings?
He moved his hand towards her jaw, then her neck and just as he was about to proceed lower, her eyes snapped open when she felt his fingers brush across her neck for the second time. He quickly pulled his hand away, but she held it and smiled at him.

No one looked at her the way Farhaad was looking at her right now , she never had man so close to her and she handn't ever been in a stable relationship. Something about Farhaad burnt an unknown fire within her and  she really wanted to make this work between them , she was too far gone to think straight now.
She had secretly admired him in school , but he had never noticed ,he didn't even know who she was and that they went to the same school.
It was okay though, that didn't matter. What mattered now was that , he was here with her all alone , looking  at her with so much of love and affection.

A strange man and a strange woman alone , shaytaan being the third companion. Great danger they put themselves into , there was a great possibility of a serious sin, a great possibility of someothig serious occuring and that is exactly what had occurred.

Allah Ta'allah save us all from zinah of the eyes for if our eyes are protected our whole body will be protected.

Insha Allah.

Assalamualaykum dear readers!

This chapter is very haraam I know! but this is reality , these things happen in life and we need to be aware of these things, so that we do not fall into the same trap.

May Allah save us all!

The moral of the story was to repent for your sins , for your sin will defintley haunt you in your future if you do not repent.

I thought it was a very good lesson for all of us so I wished to share it with my dear readers.

Remember no sin is too big for Allah to forogive Allah is Oft Forgiving and The Most Merciful of those who show mercy.

Please do not forget to
