R,

Its not the Chic-flic element.
Its the ending.

/I hear a soft voice inquiring if I’m all right. I look up to find Rabia in a dark blue hijaab with a concerned expression, standing in front of me carrying the class literature book pressed against her chest.

“You can always talk to me you know.” /

``I explain to myself that such talk is part of the many compromises I have to make to fit in and I do my best to pretend I agree. ``
A very true statement :) Sometimes we have to do things to prove ourselves to others who are labeled as the `cool` people and there, our religious values take a place in the background.We forget who we are and try to be who we are not-
I like the article on the whole and truly believe in Sadqa and for sure there is solace in praying to Allah.Congratulations to you if you have realized that and this story encouraged me to reach out to my Allah and find solace in prayer.
May Allah bless you for you effort.
