It was reported in a local paper in
Rochdale (A town, northeast of
Manchester), of a young woman
who was raped in a small dark
alley (a narrow passage between
buildings) one evening.
On a separate evening around
the same time, a young Muslim
girl was walking home from
college. Aware that it was
getting dark fast, she wanted to
get home as soon as possible, so
her mother would not be
worrying about her being
outside alone at night.
The young Muslim girl faced a
dilemma. To take the short-cut
down the same alleyway to avoid
getting home after dark, or to
take the longer route and have
her mother worrying herself sick
about her daughters safety.
Conscious of the time, she takes
the alleyway. While the girl is
walking she sees a rather sinister
and dark figure of a man walking
towards her from the other end.
As her pace quickens,
she begins to read Ayat-ul-kursi
for her safety.
The man, he makes eye contact
but carries on walking.
When the young Muslim girl
reaches home she tells her family
about this sinister looking man,
they advise her to contact the
police, after having read the
newspaper article some time
before. When she contacts the
police they ask her to give a
physical description of the man.
It matches the description the
rape victim had given.
Some days later the young
Muslim girl receives a phone call
from the police, asking her if she
would come down to the police
station to identify the man in a
line up. Both the rape victim and
the Muslim girl pick out the same
man.
The police are confused; they ask
the rapist why he attacked one
girl and not the other.
In reference to the Muslim girl,
he replies
‘why would I attack her? when
she was walking with two huge
men on either side of her ?’
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Aalameen.
