It was around 5:30 PM, but the city's atmosphere had turned as if it were 7:30 to 8:00 PM. A massive storm had enveloped the city, making visibility poor, with only vehicles and hurried pedestrians visible, trying to avoid the impending rain. Amidst this, a shiny dark blue jeep sped down the road, indicating the driver was in a hurry to reach their destination before the rain started. The usually quiet street, not known for its heavy foot traffic, saw the jeep stop at a house, honking for the gatekeeper to open the gate quickly. The vehicle parked, and an elderly man hurriedly approached, greeting the occupant even before they stepped out. A handsome young man, around 27-28 years old, dressed in blue jeans and a white shirt, stepped out, carrying a laptop bag and important documents. The elderly man respectfully greeted him, calling him 'Alhaji Karami' and welcoming him. The young man advised the gatekeeper, Malam Mudi, to find shelter from the rain to avoid getting sick. He then entered the house just as the heavy rain began, making the city even quieter. Inside, he headed straight to his part of the house, ignoring the noise from the living room, indicating the presence of people. Despite the rain, he took a shower after his journey from Jos to Kano. After freshening up, he lay on the couch, admiring the room's cleanliness and fragrance, a testament to his mother's efforts. He planned to visit his mother's room but was interrupted by the call to prayer. Unable to go to the mosque due to the rain, he prayed in his room and then went to greet his mother, who was unaware of his return. His younger siblings were still in the living room, not having moved for prayers, engrossed in their activities. Surprised to see him, they greeted him nervously. He scolded them for not praying and for their behavior, which he found inappropriate. His mother, sitting on her prayer mat, welcomed him warmly, expressing her concern about his late-night travels. He explained his delay was due to dropping off a travel companion. He then questioned why his siblings were not being monitored for their religious duties, to which his mother lamented their worldly distractions and prayed for their guidance.
