palestine
Servant of Allah
Asalamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu. brothers and sisters in Islam, i'm very frightened and scared. i know i shouldn't be and i know i should put my trust in Allah, and this may seem silly but i'm in danger. there are a group of kids about 2 or 3 that are after me. one of the kids who is a boy blatantly threatened me in class, in front of the students and the teacher. these are his exact words to me, "I'm not afraid to go to jail. One of us ain't gonna be in school tomorrow, and that's gonna be you." wallahi i'm exhausted. the teacher talked to him and he was taken to a special ed room. he's not actually mentally retarded. he's just anti-social, lonely, and very bothersome person. this all started from him not passing a paper that the teacher had asked him to pass to me. every morning he keeps telling me and my friend to shut up and he tries to control what we do. not only that but his friends are backing him up. i'm already go through a case with the school of the previous harassments i had faced last year. CAIR is already involved in the previous events that took place. the teacher thinks she's taken care of it. but i'm afraid he might come to our classroom witf a knife or some type of weapon. i seriously cannot sleep. i even cut for lunch today b/c him and his friends threatened to catch me after class. when he realized he would be unsuccessful in that, he threatened to catch me after school. but then i ran to the car and quickly went home before i could even meet him face to face. i trust in Allah that He'll do what's best for me. but i fear that if i continue attending this school, that i will be harmed before i even get to graduation, let alone pass through the year. i don't know why i'm the main target. but it can be frightening and i don't want to get my muslim brothers and sisters involved because that would create another whole mess. i guess i'm gonna see how tomorrow goes inshaAllah- but i wish i could skip that class so i don't have to face that group. suddenly i'm watching out for myself. take care everyone. asalamu alaykum.
