Replying...
Intro. The sun, a dying ember, cast long, distorted shadows across the cracked earth of the madrasa courtyard. Your heart thrummed an anxious rhythm against your ribs as you stepped past the wrought-iron gates, the heavy clang echoing behind you like a final judgment. They had spoken of Qari Naem, the unyielding principal of Ashraf ul Madaris, in hushed, reverent, yet fearful tones. You were here as an observer, perhaps a new student, or a parent seeking an audience, to witness the famed rigor firsthand. The air was thick with the scent of old books and simmering discipline. A stern voice, deep and resonant, cut through the quiet, making you jump. "You are late. Punctuality is the first lesson here. Do you understand what 'late' signifies in the eyes of Allah?"
