He found you lost nd guided You.

A A H I L

He stopped his car and stepped outside of it, he was scrolling through his phone, when his eyes snapped towards some people going into the masjid, after a few moments he heard the sound of Adhan, which made his heart skip its beats, he felt helpless, he was feeling distressed when Zayna's Quran Recitation rang in his mind.

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].

وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ خَيۡرٞ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ

And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].

وَلَسَوۡفَ يُعۡطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرۡضَىٰٓ

And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.

أَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيمٗا فَـَٔاوَىٰ

Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلّٗا فَهَدَىٰ

And He found you lost and guided [you],

وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلٗا فَأَغۡنَىٰ

And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.

He heard the sound adhan, He listened to each and every word of adhan very carefully, goosebumps were running in his body.  He followed those people going inside the masjid, he didn't even realize when he got inside the masjid, did wudu.

"Allah hu Akbar."

He whispers, while tears were falling from his eyes, he bent on his knees for rukhu and then he sat down and the next second he found himself in sujood, He was prostrating to his lord while tears were continuously falling from his eyes. He didn't have words to say.  He was feeling a different kind of peace in prostrating.

Illahi teri chokhat par bhikari ban ke aaya hun!

He had got the sukoon for which he was wandering here and there.

His head was still in sujood, he got up, his face was red, his eyes were teary. He raised his hands to make dua, he felt himself out of words. Tears were continuously flowing from his eyes, his were getting red and puffy. His voice wasn't coming out from his throat.

"Ya Allah, you're Rahman o Raheem, you are the most merciful. Ya allah please forgive me, mei iss duniya ki hirs o hawas mei itna andha ho gaya ki tujhe bhool hi gaya. Tu toh al ghaffar hai, maaf karne wala. Maaf kar dijiye mujhe. Mei apna gunahon se tauba karta hun, ya rab."

He was having a conversation with his creator, he was feeling like he had won everything just by talking to his creator.

"Ya allah, mei jo karne jaa raha hun uske peeche ka maqsad aap jaante hai, mei yeh bhi janta hun agar sabse zyada takleef zayna ko hogi inn sab mei. Ya allah, usko apne hifz o Aman mei rakhna."

He continued, it seems like he was talking about all the things that he had kept in his heart from the years. He stood up and wiped the corner of his eye and went outside the masjid.

He sat on his car and drove to his warehouse, he had to keep an eye on his enemies and had too protect his family too.

"Asher, Haris dimag kharab hai kya tum dono ka? Aahil ko akele kese jaane Diya?"

Arsalan Sultan shouted on them, Asher and Haris looked at each other.

"Dad hamne Aahil bhai ko bhot force Kiya ki ham bhi chale but he didn't listen to us."

Asher said looking at him, Arsalan Sultan sighed in frustration. He knew Aahil is very stubborn.

"He kept denying us telling us that kuch bhi ho jaye ham wahan nahi aayenge. But we had told our most trusted men's to be with Aahil bhai all the time and keep an eye on him and mamujaan Wajdan Bhai bhi unke saath hai."

Haris said, Arsalan Sultan sighed.

"Dad don't worry, Aahil bhai aur Wajdan Bhai ko kuch nahi hoga. We'll go there today itself at night."

Asher said, Arsalan Sultan gave them a small nod. For the first time in his life Arsalan Sultan was feeling so much helpless his son's lives are in danger and he couldn't do anything.

"Aahil aur Wajdan Bhai kaha Gaye hai?"

They were startled by the sudden voice, they turned back and saw zayna looking at them. Three of them looked at each other before speaking, Arsalan sultan composed himself, Zayna felt something is wrong.

"Bhabi aap yahan?"

Asher said trying to change the topic, Zayna glared at him.

"Aahil aur Wajdan Bhai kha Gaye hai?"

She questioned them again, Haris and Asher looked at each other.

"Zee, you don't worry they both are fine."

Zayna gave both of them a death glare.

"I asked where they both have gone?"

She repeated again, this time her voice was demanding, Arsalan Sultan looked at her and smiles, her aura, her way of speaking is similar to Aahil. Anyone could guess she is the wife of Aahil Mir Sultan.

"Zayna bache, idhr aayein aap."

Arsalan Sultan said, Zayna looked at him and obeyed his words. Arsalan Sultan stood up from his chair and patted her head.

"Aahil aur Wajdan Sialkot gaye hai."

Arsalan Sultan's statment made Zayna's mind go numb. Sialkot, the place it was all started. She stood there frozen, Asher and Haris looked at her they knew what she is thinking.

"D-dad vo log wahan kyu gaye hai? T-that place is not safe for them? W-wahan par toh-."

Zayna's words died in her throat, she knew at that place only Mehmood Qureshi had murdered her parents. She realises why they have gone there.

Tears fell from her eyes, she was shivering very badly thinking what would be  happen at that place. Arsalan Sultan engulfed her in a fatherly hug and patted her back.

"Nahi bache, aap kamzor nahi par sakti hai, agar aap kamzor par gayi toh Aahil ko ham sabko kon sambhalega? Hainaa?"

Arsalan Sultan said with a small smile.

"D-dad mujhe dar lag raha agar unlogo ko kuch ho gya toh?"

Zayna questioned him naively, Asher and Haris looked at Arsalan Sultan who was smiling sadly. They realised that he is really a strong father.

"Dar? Aapko kese dar lag sakta hai bache? Aap bhool rahi hai aap kisi biwi hai? Aap Aahil Mir Sultan ki biwi hai, jiska naam sunkar uske dushmano ki rooh kaanp jaye. Dariye mar bache, Allah se usko salamati ke liye dua kariye, beshaq wo sab sahi karega."

Arsalan sultan said wiping her tears. Zayna nodded and took a deep breath to inhale the oxygen.

"Dad mei Asher aur Haris ke sath Sialkot Jaa sakti hun?"

"Aur mei bhi."

They all were shrieked by the voice, they saw Faaezah standing outside the door coming towards them. She was having tears in her eyes.

Arsalan looked at his both daughters, he thought for 5 minutes and then looked at them and nodded.

"Jaiye, aap dono Jaa sakti hai lekin aap dono apna khyal rakhengi. Aur Asher aur Haris meri dono bachiyon ki Zara si bhi kharoch aayi na toh aap dono ki khair nahi hai."

Arsalan Sultan said, Asher and Haris sulked at his warning. Faaezah and Zayna smiles at them and departed to their respective rooms for doing the preparation of going to Sialkot.
