forcing us to defend our pride.

-May God protect you.

Is this someone to shoot?!

A child?!

Omar sold his car to his neighbour.

They came looking for Omar.

As the neighbour was fixing the tire

they shot and killed him.

It is your call, Judge.

-May God protect you.

Yes, Abu Muhammad.

-It's not true.

They can't prove I ever killed

anyone. I'm innocent.

They are the attackers.

Permenant.

Subtract one from the other.

What's left? -47,000.

For God. reduce 7,000 Dinars.

Where is Omar?

Why?

I think something bad

happened to him.

Did you see anything?

-No.

Dreamt anything?

-No, I didn't.

He's fine, I'm sure.

Why are you so worried?

You're are too big for all these fears.

Stop worrying.

I can't sleep.

Come, dear.

Call him.

I'll call him.

Allah is He besides Whom there is no god,

the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist;

slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep;

whatever is in the heavens

and whatever is in the earth is His;

ho is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission?

He knows what is before them and what is behind them,

and they cannot comprehend anything out of

His knowledge except what He pleases,

His knowledge extends over

the heavens and the earth,

and the preservation of them both tires Him not,

and He is the Most High, the Great.
