"In the event that memory serves me effectively, I was wearing a little white tank top and a short dark skirt. I had been raised Orthodox Muslim, so I had at no other time worn such uncovering dress while in my dad's quality. When we at long last arrived, the chauffer escorted my more youthful sister, Laila, and me up to my dad's suite.

Obviously, he was holing up behind the entryway holding up to frighten us. We traded numerous much love as we could give in one day. My dad investigated us. At that point he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will always remember.

He looked at me straight without flinching and stated, "Hana, everything that God made important on the planet is secured and difficult to get to. Where do you discover precious stones? Where it counts in the ground secured and ensured. Where do you discover pearls? Where it counts at the base of the sea concealed and ensured in a wonderful shell. Where do you discover gold? Route down in the mine, secured over with layers and layers of shake. You must strive to get to them."

He took a gander at me with genuine eyes. "Your body is consecrated. You're much more valuable than jewels and pearls, and you ought to be secured as well."
