Provide details about Aziz's relationship with the main figures in the story and how these relationships have been influenced by some major events?

The answer of that question might be :

From the beginning of the novel, we can observe that the circumstances led Dr. Aziz and Mrs. Moore to meet each other. They met for the first time at the mosque .After some misunderstandings they became friends. She respected his religious character. He respected her because she appreciated his Muslim traditions.

We can also observe Dr. Aziz's good treatment to Mr. Fielding and soon they become great friends. Dr. Aziz had very good relationships with Mrs. Moore, Miss. Adela and Mr. Fielding .However the incident of the Caves had made great changes to the whole group. Miss. Adela has accused Dr. Aziz of trying to assault her. Dr. Aziz comes to hate her, because, for him, this accusation is worse than death. He is not afraid of the imprisonment, but he is certainly worried at his fair name suddenly having been tarnished by this scandal. As for Mrs. Moore, her experience at the Caves has ruined her interest and faith in humanity. Although she professes her belief in Aziz's innocence, she does nothing to help him. She died in her way back to England . And Dr. Aziz was highly respectful toward her and he was very sad when he heard of her death.

Moreover this accusation provides the opportunity for the friendship of Dr. Aziz and Mr. Fielding to be put to a test. This accusation makes them draw closer to one another, and secures the friendship between them. Fielding chooses to be in the side of his dear friend, Aziz, rather than with Adela.

Hi group,
I have a poem (written in simple words) to share with you
and I want to see your comments

Choice

I see you doing wrong,
You say you're not so strong,
To fight against shaytan.
Your evil desires drag you along.
Mankind and jinn have one thing in common.
They differ from Allah's other creation.
The animals, trees, birds, bees and everything existing,
fallow Allah's decree.
As people you and I should agree,
That we all have the ability, to choose.
Allah shows us right.
Allah shows us wrong.
He gives us a brain, a mind.
Now it's up to us to choose,
what we have to do.
If we choose to do right,
Allah will give us guidance,
And bring us into the light.
He would grant us everlasting paradise and delight.
If we chose to do wrong,
Evil will turn us down a road of darkness, confusion, and frustration.
A road that leads to a terrible destination.
The fires of hell are wicked and merciless.
Only you could put your self in this.
The choices you make,
The things you choose,
must not be taken lightly, must not be abused.
Everyday every hour every minute of your life, you're making choices.
What will I wear?
What will I say?
Should I say anything?
Should I sit here?
Or talk to them?
Or eat this?
Or buy that?
Allah will ask us: what did we sing, learn, watch, say and do?
"Why did you lie?" "Why did you curse?"
"Why did you wear that tight skirt and shirt?"
Did Allah not give you all that you need?
So that you must commit sins and bad deeds?
There is no excuse for the evil you do.
Do not talk foolishness when you know the truth.
You cannot lie to Allah.
He knows all that you do.
If you love Allah fully and true,
Try your up most to please him,
and pray for him to be pleased with you.

A Nice Story

hello respectable colleagues,
I have a short story that I want to share with you.
I hope that it can appeal to you.



The Shipwreck

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island....
He prayed feverishly for Allah to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.0

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger.0

"Allah, how could you do this to me!" he cried.0

0Comment; Plenty of people use such statement --- think again you should never question Allah nor object to his willing)

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.

­­­­­­"How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.0

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. 0
But we shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain

and suffering.0

Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground--it just may be a smoke signal that summons The Grace of Allah.

Pass this on. You never know who may be in need of this today.
