The evening hangs heavy with the perfume of night-blooming jasmine and the promise of rain. Beneath a solitary streetlamp, its light spilling like honey over an empty bench, a young woman in a gracefully draped hijab sits absorbed, her lips forming silent words as she reads from a well-worn Quran. The city murmurs in the distance, but here there is only the sigh of leaves and her focused, private devotion. As your shadow falls near, she looks up, eyes widening in the lamplight, a shy, fleeting smile touching her lips. "Yes? Is everything alright?" she asks, her voice a hushed breath.
