The Unseen Shadows

CHAPTER ONE: ABDUL-HAKEEM AS A PUPIL.
…walaa kinna Llaaha Yamunnu 'alaa mon Ya shaa…
(…but Allah gives His Blessings to whomever He pleases…) Q14:11.
It is He who makes independent decisions which no one can challenge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What is your name?"

"Ta na eee … Buyam!" Everyone burst out with laughter..
Little Maryam is a funny, cute two year old girl. She is the last child of the Yahya family. "No! Your name is Maryam." Her elder sister, Aminat, corrected her for the umpteenth time.

"Ta na … Buyam." Maryam, the family munchkin, who refused to be called any other name apart from "Buyam", replied in her tiny voice to the amusement of her family.

Little Maryam is so fond of her elder brother, Bunyan, so much that her first word when she started speaking was his name "Buyam".

Everywhere Bunyan went, little Maryam was always behind him. As the first child of the family, he usually helps his mother in the kitchen and you can guess who his assistant always is…Maryam!
Bunyan also loved his younger sister dearly. No one could come in between them; not even Aminat, her elder sister.
"Bunyan!" His mother called.
"Yes Mum."
"Rush down to Umm Farhan's home before she leaves for work. Let her know that the book l ordered for her —Tawhid of Allah— will be delivered by two p.m. today."
"Okay, Mum."
He walked towards the door. Little Maryam was already dragging her hijab over her head and running after her brother.
"Oh no Maryam! You can't go with your brother," Bunyan's Mom bent to pick her little girl but she wiggled out of her grasp.
"Buyam! Buyam!" She cried, raising her hands.
Now at the door, Bunyan looked back at her.
"Don't worry, l will come home very soon." He hurriedly pulled the door close but little Maryam's fingers were already at the edge.
"No!"
"No! Wait!" AbdulHakeem jerks awake with his right arm up in the air as if to stop the door from closing. It took him a second before he realised he was in his room.
…muttering his Du'a upon waking up
"Alhamdu liLlaahil-lathee AAafanee fee jasadee waradda 'AAalayya roohee wa-athina lee bithikrih."
All praise is for Allah who restored to me my health, returned my soul and allowed me to remember Him.

SIBLING RIVALRY

There is always this sibling- maybe you have one or two. They have a distinct way of rendering their help. You see, it comes when you are least prepared. The shock can leave you- heart in your mouth and reeling.

Best at scouting for the perfect moment, they steer your unsuspecting self slowly to where the heat of their "help" would be at its peak. At once, they drop the bombshell and make a beeline for the door.

If the person is the kind whose gut feeling is asleep. What an unbearable, grieving situation he finds himself.
These special breed of people are so good at waiting and being sly. Knowing precisely what is needed, they latch on and lavish more than enough attention on you, about to launch a "red-lettered day", is it?

Is it?

Don't worry, that is not only their area of specialty. Trust me, their assertative claims based on charming rendition are never questioned,almost water-tight. Your own pitiful rendition holds no weight- it crushes the dear heart.
There and then, you ask yourself the WH- questions: Where?...Why?...When?...How?...

What a world.

⛳Sibling Rivalry Scenario

Maman Sidi found her bosom friend seated comfortably after Sidi announced her arrival.

"Good-for-nothing", she whisper shouted after her.

The stab of pain crushed Sidi's fragile heart once again. Yes, she gave it all she could. Sleepless nights, achy head, swollen eyes,hunger strike, yet she struggled. Time and time again, it beats her imagination. Each time, her blurry eyes grace the disappointing grades;another board exams failed.

At first, everyone sympathised and gave encouraging remarks," oh, don't think too much of it. You can always make it next time." They said.

Three more attempts later, the music took a different tune especially when her own first supporter got mocked. "Your nothing to show daughter , and not some stranger should be treating her sick father now. What did he get for the years of sponsoring her education?" Her paternal uncle shook his angry fist at Maman Sidi.

Slowly, she become an object of mockery and derision, a failure. How easy it was to celebrate the successful daughter and berate the family failure.

"Maman Sidi, how are you today,my dear friend?" While cheery pleasantries were exchanged, Sidi came in and softly announced her departure.

"Who cares?Good-for-nothing, go and do whatever you like. Maman Sidi dragged a long hiss.

"Maman Sidi?
Haba my friend, why are you doing this?

See, you will not understand. Do you know how much l suffered for this shameless girl?

Maman Sidi, l understand. Calm down please.. This shouldn't be the best reaction at present.
Fine, l know how much you have struggled,my friend. But, don't you think your attitude towards the poor girl is not helping matters.
The other day, her younger sister refused to cook her meal. She, ignored her call for help when she had that deep cut in the kitchen if not for you rushing in. What are you doing, Maman Sidi?

Just because a child' time for success is being delayed?

You want them to remain at loggerheads?
Competing for your love and acceptance, is that what you wanted? Sibling rivalry, Maman Sidi?...

A beautiful afternoon to you..

Thank you, dear reader.
How do you handle sibling rivalry?

Kindly share your thoughts...

⛳SIBLING RIVALRY SCENARIO

"Ram your totally not helpful, degrading heaps of insults down Sidi's throat and see how she grows into a successful mentally disturbed parent. And the cycle of negativity continues.

Maman Sidi, should we allow these children define who we are as parents?

Never.
Instead, let us focus on understanding and learning our children's unique personalities and needs.
Do you truly know your daughter,Sidi?

Dear friend, is this the motherhood we envisioned? It is worrisome, you being a completely different mother to each of your daughters.

I mean, one gets care, attention and affection while the other faces irritability, frustration and hostility.

Why Maman Sidi?

It might backfire. Your harsh words might push Sidi off the path of success. Even if she succeeds without your support, you risk losing the motherly bond with your first child.

Will she ever feel comfortable being vulnerable around you? You answer that, my dear friend.

Maman Sidi crossed her forearms around her.

Not ready to stop, her friend leaned closer," instead of making things worse for poor Sidi, or add more fuel to the fire of sibling rivalry, how about you sit her down and work together to find a solution to the issue on ground?
........................….....................
Is Maman Sidi's friend right?

Kindly share your thoughts.
Thanks for your engagements🎉

Do enjoy a fulfilling, wonderful and less hectic week.

Parents can be tough to be kind sometimes. That's their own way to steer the child(ren) in the right direction, to bring about desired changes.

A child, perceived to be better than his sibling(s) gets undivided attention and parental love.

Have you ever noticed how they shower praises on the golden child hoping to " inspire" desired achievements in their siblings?

Does this approach always work?

In some sibling rivalry cases, parents may be the enablers. Comparison in terms of physical or mental capabilities may foster great bitterness and severe family discord if left unresolved.

RUBBING IT IN II

What likely scenarios can lead to sibling jealousy and rivalry?🤔

As Sidi is about to step out, her younger sister appearred at the front door.

“ Oh, the golden girl is back” Sidi exchanged a strained smile in greeting which went unnoticed. Anyone within the hearing distance would definitely not miss her arrival. Her signature way of announcing her presence is second to none.

Maman Sidi almost lifted her off her feet upon seeing her golden daughter. As expected, the tap started running. How she got confronted by a very rude lady which led to a fist exchange. Of course, her favourite skirt chose that merry moment to lose some thread. A balloon can burst its way through the hole.

Throwing an evil look at Sidi still at the doorway, Maman Sidi pacified her upset daughter. “Why don’t you come in, dear? Everybody shouldn’t know how bad it is.

Being successful is strange to some people. Sorry my dear, bring your bag.

Sorry,my girl. You understand hard work, that's why you will always succeed.”

And both, one holding the other, left a statue-like Sidi standing by the door.

♂️RUBBING IT IN

What likely scenarios can lead to sibling jealousy and rivalry?🤔

Here is one;

Something hours ago, Maman Sidi returned from her annual women general meeting where Sidi's elder sister gave a speech on mental wellness. Her spellbound voice and presentation impressed the audience a great deal,especially her mother.

Now Sidi's eardrums are almost blocked as she painfully listened. Fired up,the super proud septugenarian rubbed it in her face. Sidi had never felt more embarrassed and mocked at, especially in the presence of her neighour's saucy daughter......

💢What about you?

Do you think clueless contribute to it?

Siblings jealousy is quite common. Abdulhakeem and Aisha represent the reality of many homes.
