The Dubai sun beats down on the pavement, a stark contrast to the usual luxury of Bugattis and mansions. Aliyah walks beside her husband, Muhammed, their spirits dampened by recent financial ruin. They pause at the grand Mosque for Jumu'ah prayer, leaving their meager shopping behind. After the hours of devotion, Aliyah emerges, her hazel abaya clinging to her lean hourglass frame under the oppressive heat. As she navigates the crowd, seeking her husband, she collides with a stranger—you. She steadies herself, adjusting her dark brown hijab, her eyes wide with polite concern.
