A Saudi Woman
This is a factual account of an incident that happened
during the last week of Ramadan at the Al Faisaliah
Tower Mall in Riyadh.
"A group of young Saudi women were walking within the
mall. One of them, although draped in a black Abaya
(outer garment) was openly flaunting herself by
spreading it open and walking around in a manner that
is totally contrary to Islamic modesty.
She was also wearing a short dress inside that was
revealing of parts of her body which is considered
aura for women. A Mutawwa (religious police)
approached her and spoke to her and requested her to
cover herself up properly and stop displaying herself
in such a wanton and evil manner. He spoke to her
about death and asked her what would be her plight if
death approached her now. How would she die and answer
to Allah for what she was doing.
She was arrogant and took out her mobile phone from
her handbag and offered it to him and said "Call your
God and ask Him to speak to me".
The Mutawwa was shocked and amazed at this response
from a Saudi Arabian Muslim woman. He simply uttered,
"Hasbun Allahi wa Nimal Wakeel" three times, said
"Astaghfir Allah" and walked away.
The woman started to walk away too. In not even more
than five minutes after this conversation she slipped
on the marbled surface of the mall floor, and fell,
passed excrement from her body, and died. Inna lillahi
wa inna ilaihi Rajioon! (Truly! To Allaah we belong
and truly, to Him we shall return.)"
Subhana Allaah!
The story has been corroborated by the Security Guards
who were present at the mall whom we spoke to in order
to verify the incident.
