One day i sat next to a crying, aged, ill widow. She cried, she wailed, she screamed, she screamed out loud to Allah the infinitely loving, the infinitely merciful, the infinitely compassionate… but, but… - i fear i slip into heresy and blasphemy? but Allah is infinitely wise, the infinitely understanding…
She was being gang raped but poverty, need, destitution, paucity… she educated her children through blood, sweat, tears, sleepless nights, self – debasement, door to door sales of home foods, money borrowed from loan sharks… Today they looked through her.
Why did they take us out of school, and dump us in a madresa, they said that girls must not go to school. We learnt NOTHING of the world. Today i am a beggar, i can’t eat. i haven’t got money for food, for water, for electricity…
