Maruf could not sleep for whole night. This is about to give Fazar Azan. He sat on laptop and started to write first draft of a story :

In the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur, there was a young man named Andrew Tate. Andrew was a diligent student who studied Islamic Studies at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). He had been pursuing his education there for four years, immersing himself in the rich knowledge of Islamic teachings and principles.


However, Andrew's time at IIUM began to stir up conflicting thoughts within him. As he delved deeper into his studies, he couldn't help but notice a stark contrast between what he learned about Islam and the realities he witnessed around him. It was a perplexing dilemma that tugged at his conscience.


Andrew couldn't shake the feeling that the Muslim women he encountered on campus seemed to be dismissed or underappreciated when it came to matters of reproduction and marriage. It seemed as though they were seen as unused if they adhered strictly to the Islamic rulings regarding interaction between men and women. This troubled Andrew deeply, for it conflicted with his understanding of Islam's teachings on gender equality and the importance of family.


One day, while contemplating his concerns, Andrew stumbled upon the works of Bertrand Russell, the renowned philosopher. Russell's philosophy of free mixing in universities caught his attention. He pondered on the notion of free interaction among students, regardless of their gender, in order to foster a healthy academic environment. Andrew couldn't help but draw parallels between this philosophy and the apparent taboo of walking as a couple in the university.


It seemed to Andrew that the university's atmosphere discouraged any romantic relationships or expressions of love, subtly promoting a Christian teaching of celibacy rather than an Islamic teaching of marriage. He observed the implications of such a practice, particularly in the lives of career-oriented Muslim women who had reached their 40s without finding a suitable partner. They were left unmarried and perhaps perceived as undesirable due to societal pressures and stigmas.


This realization shook Andrew to his core. He knew that something was amiss within the system. How could a university that aimed to educate its students on Islam, which places a strong emphasis on marriage and family, inadvertently contribute to the plight of these women?


Determined to find answers, Andrew embarked on a journey of introspection and research. He engaged in countless discussions with his fellow students, professors, and religious scholars. Andrew sought guidance from the teachings of Islam, searching for a way to bridge the gap between theory and practice and reconcile his observations with the true essence of his faith.


Over time, Andrew discovered that the issue lay not with Islam itself, but rather with the misinterpretation and misapplication of its teachings. He found solace in the notion that Islam celebrates marriage as a sacred bond and encourages healthy interactions between men and women while maintaining modesty and respect.


Armed with this newfound understanding, Andrew took it upon himself to promote dialogue and awareness within the university community. He organized seminars and workshops that addressed topics such as gender equality, healthy relationships, and the significance of marriage in Islam. These events sparked meaningful conversations and allowed individuals to challenge existing norms and misconceptions.


Andrew's efforts bore fruit. Slowly but surely, the university environment began to shift. The taboo surrounding walking as a couple began to dissipate, replaced by a more inclusive and supportive atmosphere. The value of marriage and family was once again recognized, empowering both men and women to pursue their educational and career aspirations while embracing their Islamic identity.


As years passed, Andrew graduated from IIUM with honors, leaving behind a legacy of positive change. His journey of self-discovery and advocacy inspired countless individuals to reflect upon their own beliefs and actions. His unwavering commitment to Islam and the principles it encompasses helped shape a brighter future for all, where gender equality and the sanctity of marriage walked hand in hand.


Maruf read the story that he has just typed. He is not satisfied with the plot. Hence, he wanted to write new plot :


Once upon a time, in the land of academic absurdity, there was a student named Andrew Tate, studying Islamic Studies at the International Islamic University Malaysia. As he navigated the halls of higher education, Andrew couldn't help but notice an uncanny phenomenon unfolding before his eyes—a grand conspiracy, or so it seemed.


In this peculiar university, the administration had ingeniously devised a plan to create a crisis of unimaginable proportions. Their dastardly scheme involved making the female students as rare and valuable as diamonds. Yes, you heard it right—diamonds!


The university orchestrated an elaborate illusion, convincing these young women that their worth was so extraordinary, so exceptional, that they should be treasured and protected at all costs. The concept was laughably ironic, considering there were millions of women outside the confines of academia, living their lives without a hint of this diamond status bestowed upon them.


The university's strategy was truly a work of comedic genius. They taught these women to aspire to academic greatness, telling them that their true worth lay in their degrees, not in their character or abilities. They promised them bright futures filled with success and prosperity, as long as they remained isolated within the walls of the university.


And oh, the humour didn't stop there. The administration masterminds ensured that the men on campus were suitably clueless about this extraordinary value placed upon their female counterparts. They were kept blissfully unaware of the treasure trove in their midst, unaware that these diamond-like women were supposedly worth their weight in gold.


The campus was a theatre of absurdity, where the women adorned themselves in metaphorical crowns, fully convinced that their diamond status would guarantee them a life of eternal admiration. Yet, outside the university bubble, the world continued to spin, with ordinary women living ordinary lives, oblivious to their supposed lack of value.


As Andrew observed this grand spectacle, he couldn't help but chuckle at the sheer absurdity of it all. The university's attempt to create a crisis of female scarcity was nothing more than a comedic farce. The real crisis, it seemed, was the delusion that had enveloped the minds of those within the ivory tower.


In this hilarious tale, the university unwittingly became the stage for a parody of epic proportions. They had concocted a plot to inflate the egos of their female students, leading them to believe they were the rarest of gems. But in reality, it was all a fantastical charade, leaving the rest of the world scratching their heads in bemusement.


As Andrew completed his studies and ventured out into the real world, he carried with him the knowledge of this outlandish university conspiracy. And whenever he encountered those who believed in their diamond-like status, he couldn't help but stifle a chuckle, knowing that true worth lies not in artificial illusions, but in the genuine qualities that make us human. And so, the satire of Andrew Tate's university experience serves as a reminder that sometimes, the greatest comedy can be found in the most unexpected places, especially when the absurdity of our own illusions is laid bare.


Maruf did not like the second plot also. He deleted the stories and went to pray to Fazar.
