(Short Story)
Its dark, fully dark I can’t see anything.
Darkness is always creating. fear I’m feeling like someone at a distance is longing for me to die. I don’t know how much time I have slept here and where I am.
I can’t stand up its paining like I’m hurt heavily. And it’s too hot and sweating heavily. It’s thicker than sweat; let me smell it, Blood?
Oh, no I can’t remember how I’m here. What is this place? Let me get up and walk some distance, I need light to see whether its blood or not. Aaaah it’s paining a lot after this doubt.
I’m seeing light but very little. I don’t know which part of the world it is dark throughout and the light is becoming brighter and brighter and I’m feeling hotter and hotter as I move towards it, but the source of light is at a very large distance from here I think because I can’t see the thing in my hand.
From the time I stood up to walk to till now I’m feeling like as I’m lying in the bed and trying to walk.
The fluid in the ear delivers the brain the information of a man’s position. I think my ear is hurt. And now my head is spinning like a top.
Ooooh something is throwing me somewhere.(After I landed harshly in a pit) I can’t bear the pain. I can’t stop sobbing its paining like hell. And I’m seeing them they are two black huge figures with black big cloaks. I didn’t have seen anything like them and they are making the screaming out from me. I’m white out of fear now.
They are cruel, gigantic their tooth are like sharp cones, and they are hairy and dark. Like wild untamed angry bears.

“Hey Mohamed Shahin Mathina tell me who’s your GOD” one of the figure is asking me.
Even now I can’t remember anything, I’m not remembering anything.
“Hmm now think”- the same figure in a voice that can fear us.
How come that one knows what I’m thinking?
I can’t believe it’s happening….(I ‘m remembering all).
Oh no I’m dead. (Screaming hugely)
“Now answer my question” the figure says.
May be they are the two angels said in Islamic religion, oh I forget their names too.
But to answer the question……….. I can’t remember the name of my god oh no.
One of the angels looking at me at anger, it’s giving me a blaze of fire around me the fire is burning me now it’s burning all my skin down. I can’t bear the pain. I’m screaming in pain.
The fire went off. As all my skin burnt off I’m not feeling the pain now. And another one angel covers my whole body with new skin. It’s paining me as it was burning me.
Someone have told me this kind of treatment is mentioned in Quran, Skin will only feel the pain once skin is burnt off you can’t feel the pain.
“Now Munkar ask him the question again” Another angel is saying.
I remember their names, They are Munkar and Nakir. They will ask three questions in the world of barzah (the world till where the dead ones will live/ having their punishment for their sins till the day of judgment.)
And the questions are
Who is your God?

Who is your Prophet?
Who is your Imam/holy book?
Why I can’t remember my god’s name. I can’t bear another one blaze of fire.
Something in me tempts me to say there are no god and my mouth saying it. By the time itself I’m set in to another blaze.
What I did in my life for having this all?
Might be that incident.
I’m Mohamed Shahin (Age 23) Son of Haja Anwer Badhusa and Mathina Begum.
That’s why they are calling me Mohamed Shahin Mathina. All things went smoother and good with little hurdles too, until the final result of one competitive exam. I applied for that exam in general category but I can only clear the cutoff of some other lower category. I risked my job for this exam and I can’t clear, there are my faults too. Now I can’t go back to work because I studied for six months for this job. It’s my fault too. But I was honest while applying for that exam I applied in General category because my family is strong enough for withstanding financial problems. I showed myself as a good one to god. I had strong belief that god at that time. I was sure god will guide me in good directions.
Because of that failure I was humiliated a lot by the society and thrown to the other end of the world. I felt like killing myself.
Finally I lied a little and sold a little thing to someone with a sheepish smile. That gained me a momentum Started as a retail seller I grown up to do exports.
And it was the time I grew because I did everything. A lot of hardships and hurdles in my life. It made me to throw out gods feeling out of my mind. And I gone mad, my only aim was success. I worked hard to get the pays. I was the king of my kingdom.
It was the time it happened, it was a bid for a huge export contract it was a completion between my huge competitor and me. I don’t want to lose it. But the only option is to keep away my big competitor, i.e., making him not to attend the

bid meeting as no one can replace him instead of him. I asked a rouge to do that job. I won the bid among small competitors.
Unfortunately I was not aware of my competitor’s financial status at that time; he was punished by the interest eaters. His family was torn away. Knowing that bad situation I went to him to lean my hand but he even didn’t give me a hand shake.
As I was the god of that kingdom, I felt insulted a lot.
And before I met the angels I don’t remember where I was. But in that period I did a lot of bad deeds. I’m sorry for forgetting my god he exists at last.
In order to get away from the punishments of the angels, I said Business, Business is my god.
“Business?” one angel is asking me.
So business can’t be it, try something else is what my mouth was murmuring.
Then I remembered one thing, Oh my god he can hear my thinking.
I panicked of the blaze.
“Rewind back your story” one of the angels saying.
Before the start of the game i.e., before the competition what you prayed to god?
What You hid that from the story?
Ya I hid that (Sobbing heavily). I prayed for a Victory with my own skills and strengths.
It happened after that lie. After that victory blinded me. I forget god. This is how an atheist grown in me. I made others to suffer for my victory I’m sorry I’m sorry.
Give me a last chance to go back to world I will correct myself for sure.
“No soul will be made dead late or quick by a second” -angel.
I corrupted the society as it was already corrupted, I even tried to help my victim but he didn’t accept. It’s not my fault at all.

The angels kicks me, I still go down, inside the earth. The earth on the left and right of me started crushing me. I don’t want to give up “I want to speak”, I said.
No one will be hearing it. Alas alas.
But it happened the earth moved away and I’m outside the earth.
“You can go now” angel said to me.
All my pains relived all of a sudden, while I was stretching my limbs it happened
They bent themselves in sajdha (Forehead touching the land, not only forehead both the hands, knees, and the toes.) And it woke up.
The features turned completely It’s face turned as the one of the beautiful faces I have seen and it glows brighter, it’s total thing become pure as white as milk.
I was stunned by that. Can I ask what for? I asked myself.
And I asked.
The angel looks into my eyes and said it’s an order from my god.
Instantly I asked what these all are?.
It prayed to its god.
And said “Do you know the things whatever you have done?”
You gave money for interests directly/indirectly it killed joys of lots of people. You didn’t pay tax properly that affected the people indirectly. You didn’t pay zakath(Islamic duty) It affects the whole.
I asked him back “all the other religion believers are giving money for interest, the corrupt politicians are ruling, it’s hard for me to do these all. It’s dragging me far away from god”
“Have you read Quran at least for a single time? Do you know the meaning of direct verses of Quran” it asked

No I said
“Read about any other religion?”- Angel
But I have heard a lot about both. Many of the Islamic scholars are briefing the things.
“Not all of them but there are people who are telling wrong about all of the religions for their own benefits. Some people are using words from religion for terrorism. You should not be a victim to them “-Angel
“God has sent one prophet in all of the times from the beginning Adam until the last prophet Prophet Mohamed. Most of the peoples of the prophet’s time will disagree with them. But after their death they will start worshiping them as Gods but it didn’t happened for prophet Mohamed “-it’s a Islamic concept
“There are no gods only one God, Read all the religions principle find out what is the true religion”
Why can’t all the religious principle from the same God?
“Why people are saying that is because there will be no problems between each other. But what is happening is different when people of a religion becomes larger in numbers it’s dominating the other. There is no equality. And instead, why they can’t find the true god by researching their own religions. As I said the god’s teachings are same throughout from the first prophet to the last. But after their prophets time the peoples committed mistakes. You have to find out the truth”
I’m not able to say anything after that.
The angel starts disappearing
Wait wait I screamed.
But the bell rings continuously
Bell rings?

You can’t remember the starting of the dream always, where I was?...
I woke up from my bed and opened the door its Azad my friend he said I found the competitors’ son he accepted the money that you gave to me.
Something runs in my mind, I told Azad about my whole dream, He asked so many questions as I asked the angel.
May be because you are a muslim your dreams are like this. Maunkar, nakir e.t.c., said Azad.
Might be but they could have said to me that Islam is the religion and Allah is your god. But they said, Find the truth research your religion and god to wants all the human beings to do that. Even in Islam it’s been said.
So I’m gonna start with quran and read all the religions and wanna find out the truth.
I hate the Atheist in me.
