"Nice bro, new outfit! Allahoemma Barik. Got some money huh?"
"Come on man."
"Bro, check his outfit. He definitely inherited that."
"Guys, come on."
"What's going on with you today Samir? You're stressed."
"Bro, I've got school, work and an internship. I've been frustrated this entire week and you guys are making it worse with your rude jokes."
"I don't have time for that."
"You have one month left of your internship. Just be patient for a little bit. It will be okay InshaAllah."
"Bro, you know what? Tonight, you're coming with me."
"Come with me. I'll help you relax.
I'll make sure of it. It's going to be the best day of your life.
You're really going to enjoy this."
"Thanks for the offer, but Anil is teaching me tonight. We're studying Arabic."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure."
"If the lesson is cancelled, you're always welcome. Text me, call me, whatever you want."
"I have to go now."
"Okay brother, Asalamualikom. It was good to see you."
"I really love Bahri, man. He's a really good guy.'
"He's always there to help us."
"Allahoemma barik. I'm also really proud of him."
"Samir, if you want to skip today's class. Go with him. Clear your head a little."
"I just told Bahri. A deal is a deal."
"I'm also really looking forward to the class. I don't want to fall behind."
"If you change your mind that's okay too."
"So we'll see each other later In sha Allah?" "Yeah, later." "Okay, Asalamualikom"
"So the letter (sheen) is part of the group of letter called the shamsiya.
So what happens...the letter La of the Alif lam..
is not pronounced
And the letter gets a shedda.
like the word "a-shams". You don't say "al-shams"
"Bro, are you even listening?" "Yeah, yeah I'm taking notes, continue."
"Your pen ran out of ink, you know?"
"It's an easy lesson. Just continue. It's easy." "Fine, fine."
"So the qamariya letters, like we said, is the opposite.
You pronounce the letter. So the Alif and the Lam.
Like in the word "Al-qamar". You say "Al" not "A-qamar".
Like we said with the shamsiya letters."
"Wait bro, someone's texting me." (Bahri texts: I feel bad about you being stressed, bro. I rented a mercedes for tonight, come on. Enjoy yourself.)
"Bro, this could be my mom, you know?"
Samir texts: "What? Haha, you're paying. I can't say no to that, man. Where are we meeting?"
"So is it your mom?" "Wait, give me a minute."
"Who are texting, bro?"
"Bro, come on. Relax." Bahri text: "I have more surprises. I'll be with you in about 10 minutes, be ready."
"Are you texting Youssra?"
Bahri texts: "By the way, leave Anil there."
"i'm telling you maybe it's my mom and you say it's Youssra. Come on man."
"Bro, please just get to work!"
"Listen man.." "Wait, I didn't mean to tell you to leave, wait.
"My mom, just texted me and I..."
"...I have to go buy a painting."
"A painting?"
"What are you even talking about? A painting?"
"Yeah, a painting, bro. I'll explain later. I've got to go."
"Bro, I really don't understand what you're talking about."
"Later"
"Brother, asalamualikom." "Wa alaikomasalam, brother. I recognized your shoes."
"I'm going to go pray, In sha Allah."
"By the way, what happened with that painting?" "Ah, I didn't buy it."
"Hmm, why didn't you buy it?"
"Why I didn't buy...just because I, you know, I was chilling with Bahri
"Nice man, no missed calls. What did ya'll do?"
"Just clearing my head."
"I'll tell you later, bro. I'm going to pray."
"Hey bro, how are you?"
"I'm good. How are you?" "Good, good. Why aren't you reponding to my texts?"
"What are you even doing here?"
"It was time to pray. So I went for prayer."
"You're such a hypocrite. Yesterday you were with me the whole evening.
and now you're playing 'the good muslim'."
"You know what they call people like that? Two-faced."
"Bro, as if you did something today."
"Man, look at my face, I'm still messed up."
"I just woke up, still hungover."
"Anyways, let's go to the lounge"
"Bro, i don't know about that. I just came back from the mosque.
I just sincerely repented, brother."
"I don't want to go to those places anymore."
"Listen, you know what you can do? Just come with me and repent after that."
"It's that easy."
"Bro, I- I really don't know what to do."
"Dude, stop overreacting. Just come with me man."
"Alright fine, bro. What time is it?"
"Let me see, where's my phone?"
"Wait a minute."
"Maybe it's in the front pocket of my backpack."
"Dude, I think I left my phone in the mosque."
"Just go grab it real quick." "Okay, wait for me."
"What are you doing?"
"Hey bro, I lost my phone. I remember seeing it here in the mosque for the last time."
"So i thought it might be here. But I can't find it."
"You mean this one?"
"Oh bro, thanks man! Thank you!"
"Okay, I have to go."
"Wait, wait. Where are you going?"
"Bro, you know it's the weekend. Just gonna relax."
"Be honest, where are you going?"
"Bro, I'm telling you. It's the weekend. Just gonna relax with the guys."
"You're going to meet up with Bahri."
"What do you mean? How did you know?"
"When I found your phone I saw a notification, a text, from Bahri."
"And I saw that you guys went out yesterday?"
"And I saw that you are going to the lounge later."
"Bro, it's a one time thing. Just to clear my mind a little."
"I've known you for a long time, man. And i know you would never do this kind of stuff."
"And I also didn't know Bahri was like this."
"But now I'm finding out that he's starting to have a negative influence on you."
"You know I'm busy with my internship, work and school. It was just a one time thing with the brother. That's it"
"Do you know what the Prophet (peace be upon him) has said about friendship?"
"A good companion (who sits with you) in comparison with a bad one,
is like that of the musk seller and the blacksmith's bellows (or furnace);
from the first you would either buy musk or enjoy its good smell
while the bellows would either burn your clothes or you get a bad smell from it."
