"The Transformation of Namalah: Forced into a Life of Tradition"
0 Points
0
Gilbert, at the tender age of twelve, was eager to visit his friend Namalah's house for the first time. Namalah, three years his junior, had always intrigued him with her charm and allure. She was of Saudi Arabian descent and had captivating brown eyes that were beautifully complemented by her wavy tendrils of brown hair. Contrary to what one might expect from a Muslim family, Namalah was not adorned in conventional Muslim attire; she embraced a more western outlook with a black tank top, jeans and Converse shoes, unlike her mother, Irimana.
With salt and pepper hair and twinkling brown eyes reflecting her warm, middle-eastern roots, Irimana symbolized the epitome of traditional Muslim womanhood. At a modest 53 years, she was only two inches taller than her young daughter and adhered to her faith strongly, diligently wearing her hijab, a Muslim gown that concealed her figure modestly, and traditional black flip-flops. On her finger was her wedding ring, a symbol of her commitment to her faith, her husband, and her family.
One day, while in the middle of what looked like an innocent conversation with the duo, Irimana yelled at Namalah, "ناملا من فضلك تعال إلى غرفتي للحظة أريد أن أتحدث إليك!" Her voice echoed through the room, translating roughly to "Namalah! Please come into my room for a second. I need to speak to you."
Frustration and anxiety flickered in Namalah's brown orbs as she walked into her mother's room. The conversation that ensued shocked Irimana, "What mom? I'm not breaking up with Gilbert. He's my dream man. You're just gonna have to accept that," she vented, her words resonating with disappointment.
In an unexpected stroke of fervor, Irimana grabbed Namalah, yanking off her young child's Converse shoes and socks. The elder woman subsequently removed her own sandals and planted them on Namalah's delicate feet. The youngster yelped in surprise, "Mom! Ow! Let me go! What are you doing?"
Irimana responded in a flat tone, her voice echoing in the room, "فقط اصمتي يا عزيزتي، إذا لم تكوني مسلمة مناسبة فسأحولك إلى نسخة كاملة مني، وسترين والدك كزوج لك وسنتزوجه معًا وستتحدثين العربية فقط مثلي تمامًا." ("Just hold still honey. If you aren't going to be a proper Muslimah, then I will make you a full version of me. You will see your father as your husband, and we will marry him together. You will speak only Arabic, just like me.")
As the mother spoke, Namalah's feet began to change to match her mother's age-worn ones. A startled Namalah caught patches of maturing skin spreading through her body. With every maternal feature Namalah acquired, she relinquished a bit of her childhood. In no time, her body had aged, mirroring that of her 53-year-old-mother. Her eyes reflected the maturity and wisdom of an adult woman, her teeth were the set of a fully-grown Muslim woman, and her voice began to mimic her mother’s tone and accent.
Suddenly, her western clothing disappeared, replaced by a traditional Muslim gown similar to what Irimana wore. A matching hijab appeared on her head, and a wedding ring came into existence on her finger, now identical to her mother's. The transformation was complete: Namalah, the 9-year-old child, was now an exact replica of Irimana, both in body and soul.
Horrified by her reflection, Namalah, or the new Irimana, voiced her distress, "No! No! No! Please! I don't want to be a..... a proper Muslimah to Allah!" She was breathless, her voice echoing Irimana’s tone, interrupting her protest. Irimana forced her hands onto Namalah's head, manipulating her memories. The new Irimana struggled to resist the mind changes, recollections of Gilbert fading as her past life as Namalah disappeared into oblivion. Visions of herself being as strict and old-fashioned as the original Irimana replaced any thoughts of a simpler, kinder life.
Regaining her composure, the new Irimana pushed the original Irimana away defensively, running at her and pinning her against the wall. Her voice, now firm and dominant, echoed in the room, “أنا لا أعرف من تظن نفسك ولكنك لن تجرؤ على وضع يدك علي لأنني ابن الله!" ("I don't know who you think you are, but you won't dare lay a hand on me for I am a child of God!")
The real Irimana, perhaps attempting to reassure herself that the transformation was complete, questioned her daughter or new self, “ما اسمك وكم عمرك وما هو عيد ميلاد أختك?" ("What’s your name, how old are you, and when is your sister’s birthday?”)
Resolute and unyielding, the new Irimana answered, “أنا إيريمانا، عمري ثلاثة وخمسون عامًا،، ولدت في التاسع من فبراير وتسعمائة وسبعين." ("I am Irimana. I am 53 years old and I was born February 9th, 1970.")
With a final show of power, the new Irimana proclaimed, "هل يمكننا إنهاء هذا الأمر، أحتاج إلى البدء في تنظيف المنزل لأن زوجي على وشك العودة إلى المنزل من العمل، وباعتباري مسلمًا صالحًا، لا أستطيع أن أجعله يعود إلى منزل قذر، فقد كتب في القرآن أن تكون زوجة صالحة.” ("Can we wrap this up, I need to start cleaning the home for my husband is about to be home from work and as a proper Muslimah I could not have him come back to a filthy home it's written in the Quran to be a proper wife.")
Satisfaction now lined the real Irimana's face. She had made her daughter into a good and proper Muslim woman just as she had wished. Thus, the innocence of Namalah, the 9-year-old, was unknowingly guided into the mature being known as Irimana, forced to live a life eternally void of her own dreams and ambitions.

Please have Namalah have brown hair and brown eyes, a black tank top, jeans and Converse shoes. Please have Namalah not opt to dress like a Muslim woman as she doesn't believe as strongly as her 53 year old Irimana. Please have Irimana be only 2 inches taller than Namalah and have brown hair and brown eyes, a traditional Muslim gown, hijab, wedding ring on her finger and black flip flops. Please have Irimana say the quote "ناملا من فضلك تعال إلى غرفتي للحظة أريد أن أتحدث إليك(namilan min fadlik taeal 'iilaa ghurfati lilahzat 'urid 'an 'atahadath 'iilayk)" which translates to "Namalah! Please come into my room for a second I need to speak to you" Please have Namalah walk into her mom's room frustrated and nervous. Please have Namalah say the quote "What mom? I'm not breaking up with Gilbert. He's my dream man. You're just gonna have to accept that" Please have Irimana suddenly grab Namalah yanking her Converse shoes and socks off her feet before taking her black flip flops off her feet and shoving them onto Namalah's feet holding them in place. Please have Namalah say the quote "Mom! Ow! Let me go! What are you doing?" Please have Irimana say the quote "فقط اصمتي يا عزيزتي، إذا لم تكوني مسلمة مناسبة فسأحولك إلى نسخة كاملة مني، وسترين والدك كزوج لك وسنتزوجه معًا وستتحدثين العربية فقط مثلي تمامًا.(faqat asimati ya eazizati, 'iidha lam takuni muslimatan munasibatan fasa'ahuluk 'iilaa nuskhat kamilat mini, wastirin walidik kazawj lak wasanatazawajuh mean wasatatahadathin alearabiat faqat mithlay tmaman.)" which translates to "Just hold still honey. If you aren't gonna be a proper Muslimah then i will turn you into a complete copy of me. You will see your father as your husband and we will be married to him together and you will speak only Arabic just like me" as Namalah's feet started cracking and aging into a complete copy of her mother's. Please have Namalah's clothes evaporate and disappear off of her as her legs and arms and torso matured into her mom's as she gained Irimana's boobs and her arms and her toned legs. Please have Namalah's head and face change and mature into Irimana's as she gained her mature alluring brown eyes, her brown hair, her full set of adult teeth and her voice matured into her mother's pitch and accent. Please have a traditional Muslim gown identical to the one Irimana was currently wearing start forming on Namalah as Namalah gained the two inches in height to match her mother and have a wedding ring form on her ring finger and have a hijab form on Namalah's head completing her transformation into Irimana. Please have Namalah see her new reflection and start freaking out. Please have Namalah say the quote "No! No! No! Please! I don't want to be a..... a proper Muslimah to Allah!" before covering her mouth in her sudden change in tone. Please have Irimana press her hands into Namalah's head and start changing her memories causing Namalah to remember life as Irimana. Please have Namalah try to resist the mind changes as hard as she could trying not to forget Gilbert and hoping to be a kinder woman at least but having her hopes crushed as she saw visions of herself as Irimana being just as mean and old-fashioned as the real Irimana was until she only remembered being Irimana. Please have the new Irimana get defensive as she shoved the real Irimana away aggressively before running towards her and pinning her against the wall. Please have the new Irimana say the quote "أنا لا أعرف من تظن نفسك ولكنك لن تجرؤ على وضع يدك علي لأنني ابن الله('ana la 'aerif man tazunu nafsak walakinak lan tajru ealaa wade yadik ealaya li'anani aibn allah)" which translates to "I don't know who you think you are but you won't dare lay a hand on me for i am a child of God" Please have the real Irimana say the quote "ما اسمك وكم عمرك وما هو عيد ميلاد أختك(ma asmuk wakum eumuruk wama hu eid milad 'ukhtik)" which translates to "What is your name and how old are you and what is your birthday sister?" Please have the new Irimana say the quote "أنا إيريمانا، عمري ثلاثة وخمسون عامًا، ولدت في التاسع من فبراير وتسعمائة وسبعين(''ana 'iirimana, eumriun thalathat wakhamsun eaman, wulidat fi altaasie min fibrayir watiseimiayat wasabein)" which translates to "I am irimana. I am 53 years old and I was born February 9th, 1970" Please have the new Irimana say the quote "هل يمكننا إنهاء هذا الأمر، أحتاج إلى البدء في تنظيف المنزل لأن زوجي على وشك العودة إلى المنزل من العمل، وباعتباري مسلمًا صالحًا، لا أستطيع أن أجعله يعود إلى منزل قذر، فقد كتب في القرآن أن تكون زوجة صالحة(hal yumkinuna 'iinha' hadha al'amri, 'ahtaj 'iilaa albad' fi tanzif almanzil li'ana zawji ealaa washk aleawdat 'iilaa almanzil min aleimli, wabiaietibari mslman salhan, la 'astatie 'an 'ajealah yaeud 'iilaa manzil qadhra, faqad kutib fi alquran 'an takun zawjatan salihatan)" which translates to "Can we wrap this up I need to start cleaning the home for my husband is about to be home from work and as a proper Muslimah I could not have him come back to a filthy home it's written in the Quran to be a proper wife" Please have the real Irimana be satisfied as she realized her work was done and now her daughter would properly be a good Muslim woman just like she wanted and please have the new Irimana who was formerly Namalah have no memory of being 9 year old Namalah and spend the rest of her life believing she was a Muslim woman named Irimana and be unaware of the innocence that was stolen from her by her mother.
