Transformed by Tradition: The Tale of Namalah's Metamorphosis
0 Points

Once upon a time in the bustling city of Chicago, timid and freckled, 12 year-old Gilbert found himself fascinated by the vivacious, brown-eyed beauty known as Namalah. She was a radiant 9-year-old who hailed from a traditional Saudi Arabian-Muslim family, and Gilbert's heart would accelerate at the very thought of the young Miss Namalah.
On a rather ordinary day, Gilbert found himself approaching Namalah's house, his heart pounding like a drummer and his footsteps echoing ominously on the pavement. He had been invited to her home for the first time. Namalah was a modern girl, unconfined by ancient norms, wearing a black tank top, jeans, and Converse shoes. Her style of dress greatly contrasting with her mother's traditional Muslim attire – a long and flowing gown paired with a hijab, black flip flops, and a gold wedding ring glinting on her finger.
Upon Gilbert's arrival, the strong and stoic Irimana, Namalah's mother, standing only two inches taller than Namalah, summoned her. Her voice echoed in Arabic, "Namalah! Please come into my room for a second I need to speak to you." Namalah responded hesitantly, sensing something strong stirring in her mother's intent gaze.
Entering her mother's room, Namalah, clearly frustrated and nervous blurted out, "What mom? I'm not breaking up with Gilbert. He's my dream man. You're just gonna have to accept that." The silence after the revelation hung heavily in the air. With a sudden movement, Irimana grabbed her daughter, yanking off the Converse shoes and socks from Namalah's feet, replacing them with her own black flip flops.
"Mom! Ow! Let me go! What are you doing?" Namalah cried out, her eyes wide with confusion and a hint of fear. But instead of answering, Irimana's spoke, "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 the words echoed around them, Namalah felt a sudden transformation. From the cracking and aging of her feet to the maturing of her torso, she watched in horror as her body began to replicate that of her mother's. Her clothing disappeared, replaced by a traditional Muslim gown. Irimana's features overshadowed her own as she grew taller, morphing into an exact copy of her mother.
"No! No! No! Please! I don't want to be a..... a proper Muslimah to Allah!" Namalah cried out, her voice now mirroring her mother's. Her pleas were cut short as Irimana pressed her hands into her daughter's head; a rush of false memories flooding into her mind. The name Gilbert, her life as a nine-year-old girl disappearing into oblivion as a life as Irimana claimed its place.
Suddenly, she was no longer Namalah; she was now Irimana, just like her mother. A deep anger spilled within as she shoved the older woman away. "I don't know who you think you are but you won't dare lay a hand on me for I am a child." She spoke in Arabic, her words biting as she pinned the older woman against the wall
Irimana, satisfied that her work was done, continued the dialogue, orchestrating the final steps in the metamorphosis. As the minutes trickled away, Namalah's past faded; every sense of her childhood ripped away from her until Namalah ceased to exist. She was now Irimana. A duplicate in every shape and form.
The aftermath was that of dual Irimanas, two indiscernible Muslim women. And somewhere deep within her, buried beneath the new identity and the endless stream of Arabic vocabulary, the memory of a 9-year-old girl called Namalah was lost to eternity.

Prompt: Write me a story the way I write about 12 year old Gilbert going to his 9 year old friend Namalah's house for the first time. Namalah was of Saudi Arabian descent and came from a Muslim family. Gilbert thought Namalah was very beautiful and hoped that he could date her. 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 say the quote quietly to herself and translate the quote into Arabic" نعم انتهى عملي هنا، ابنتي تشبهني تمامًا في كل شيء شكلًا ومضمونًا، وهي الآن امرأة مسلمة مناسبة كما كان ينبغي لها أن تكون منذ البداية.(naeam aintahaa eamali huna, aibnati tushbihuni tmaman fi kuli shay' shklan wmdmwnan, wahi alan aimra'at muslimat munasibat kama kan yanbaghi laha 'an takun mundh albidayati.)" which translates to "Yes my work here is done my daughter is exactly like me in every single way shape and form and she is now a proper Muslim woman like she should've been from the beginning" Please have the new Irimana say the quote "شكرًا لك أختي على تصحيحي وإعادتي إلى الله ووضعي على الطريق الصحيح مرة أخرى، وسأكون ممتنًا لك إلى الأبد الآن، فلنجهز المنزل لزوجنا.(shkran lak 'ukhti ealaa tashihi wa'iieadati 'iilaa allah wawadei ealaa altariq alsahih maratan 'ukhraa, wasa'akun mmtnan lak 'iilaa al'abad alan, falinujahiz almanzil lizawjina.") which translates to " Thank you my sister for bringing me back to Allah and bringing me back to the right path now let's clean the house our husband is almost home and we should not leave the home filthy or we shall be shamed for being horrible wives" Please have the real Irimana be satisfied as she realized her work was done and now her daughter was the exact same kind of woman she was and her daughter was the same kind of Muslim Irimana was 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 and believe she has always been a Muslim woman and have Namalah no longer exist at all.
