My father had a friend named Jamal. He started coming to our house on a daily basis.He started staying at our house for long hours.He used to have long conversations with my father and mother .My mother was a beautiful young lady with big eyes and long hairs .One night i woke up with a horrible nightmare and felt thirsty . We have three rooms upstairs, one for me and the remaining two for my elder brother .There was a light on in the guest room and my father was sleeping and that man Jammal was talking to my mother .I just sat on the stairs and tried to hear their conversation which I could not understand .I was feeling uncomfortable while this man sitting in front of my mother.In the morning i discussed with my father ,
Dad , "I don't like this man coming into our home".
Dad replied , "Look son , he is my friend and now part of our family , I trust him".
After some days my mother's attitude changed with my father .They started fighting on a regular basis . Father came home fully drunk and started smoking all the time. Drinking too much made him sick and catched disease named hepatitis c. Day by day, my father's health went down because liver was badly damaged by alcohol. He started vomiting blood .
I in this situation started going to mosque and praying all the time and requesting God to heal my father. My father stopped going to factory and requested my two elder brothers ,
"Look kids, I am not feeling well, now it's time that you should handle all the matters and Uncle Jamal will also help you".
I was in matric and started spending most of the time in the mosque and playing with students of the mosque learning Quran.
One thing that I have noticed is whenever I go to a mosque , I feel calmness in me and start giving azan as well.
One day my cousin Usman came to my house and said , "you belong to a royal family , you must not play with these poor guys . you must have good dressing and distance from these poor and needy people"
I replied , "mind your own business ,I feel comfortable in them , their heart is clean and people of your status just come for fun and enjoy in cars while these people are true friends of God , I have seen light in them".
Usman replied , "it's up to you , one day you will feel sorry".
I replied in anger , "leave me".
