Preface
An old man, broad-shouldered, tall, on his head a red hat wrapped in white, moves slowly among the people, approaches one of them, grabs him, turns him over on his back, takes off his shirt, and pricks him with needles in his back. Shouting, what are you doing? Don't worry, this is the cure for tyranny... Blood flows from the holes of those needles in every direction, repeating this is the cure for corruption... Everyone screams... Children cry... Adults run... 
 
How did he accede to ​him? He was asking himself. What is this treatment that requires all this blood. The old man does not answer. He continues to prick the needles one by one as he giggles loudly. And from time to time he repeats a sentence: This is the cure if they only knew! This is the solution if they only understood! 
 
He was killed after being implanted with a fifth needle, with two bullets in his head that penetrated his turban...  
 
 
Waking up frightened...

Salvation
 
She was thinking of drinking what was left of a can of household disinfectant to finish what was left of her torment. She wants to get rid of this misery one way or another. It doesn't matter. I want a change even if it is for the worse. And what is eviler than this that I am in? She was asking herself.
 
What are you thinking, you idiot? What shame do you want to bring to us and the family?  Do you want the curse of eternity to catch up with us! Their daughter tried redemption. She tried to commit suicide?!  Do you think you will survive with this action? The fate of the suicide in Hellfire. Who burns in it and roasts in a blazing Fire forever. God does not have mercy on suicides.
 
The moment she had a tear rolled down her swollen cheek. She was really wondering will God have mercy on me? Why? Didn't I worship and pray for him? and the Islamic education teacher said that He loves us and that He created us to live, to develop the earth, and to do good. What did I do? I just turned fourteen when she tells us that the age of discretion has begun. I do not understand what it is exactly, but what I do understand is that it is time to worship with diligence and to do obedience acts, and not to fall into mistakes. It's time to register deeds. Good and others.  Woe! You start your life with suicide!  And what a beginning is this… But I had no solution that was not unavoidable. I was coming home from school one day and my mother and grandmother were in the hall among my older brothers telling me to come to sit with us. It was of course the first time.  Perhaps it was the last.  As you know. You have become a grown woman and you have to bear responsibility as we all had one day. Saeed, the son of our neighbour, has proposed to you, and since we know you are ready, we are pleased with that proposal. You have to prepare your clothes and style your hair more.
