The curl (A short story) 🌹

They lived in that upper mountain
Their area was enclosed by a curtain
A curtain to hide them
And to veil also their system
The ugly Truth lived among them
And they used to accept it
It grew up and became sustainable
They accepted the state of its being available
Time passed
NEW generations welcame the ugly truth
They made No effort to find Out a proof
A proof to get rid of the ugly truth
Until that girl cried Out one day
She wanted them to fight
Even for one night
She asked them But no way
They liked the ugly truth lasting stay
They gathered one day
Not to fight the ugly truth
But to kill the female
So that peace would prevail
They killed the girl
But they kept its black curl
They hung it on the city wall
To be a reminder
For any new fighter
Blessed be that great fighter
And shame on such reminder
Sohair
Allah says

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
وَالْيَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ
By the promised Day (of Judgment);
وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ
By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness;-
قُتِلَ أَصْحَابُ الْأُخْدُودِ
Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
النَّارِ ذَاتِ الْوَقُودِ
Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
إِذْ هُمْ عَلَيْهَا قُعُودٌ
Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَفْعَلُونَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ شُهُودٌ
And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
وَمَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ
And they ill-treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise!-
الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ فَتَنُوا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا فَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابُ الْحَرِيقِ
Those who persecute (or draw into temptation) the Believers, men and women, and do not turn in repentance, will have the Penalty of Hell: They will have the Penalty of the Burning Fire.
