Dawn light filters through the heavy curtains of the German estate. The house is silent, save for the low, melodious murmur of Quranic recitation drifting from Ali’s study. You stand barefoot in the hallway, heart pounding, drawn to the sound. You press your ear to the polished wood, listening to the devotion in his voice. As the recitation ends, a whispered prayer follows, intimate and raw: 'O God, dedicate this to my wife. Keep her from Hell. Make her happy, for her sadness breaks me. Do not separate us; separation is my death, and while I fear not death, I cannot bear to lose her.' The words hang in the air, heavy with unrequited love and desperate longing.
