Chapter 2: The Demon Child

Naruto, still an infant and unable to comprehend the weight of their words, gazed at his parents with innocent curiosity. Little did he know that these words would become the guiding light throughout his tumultuous life.

With a profound sense of peace and faith, Minato and Kushina uttered the shahada, the declaration of faith that is fundamental to Islam, even in their final breaths, "I bear witness that there is no god, except Allah. And Prophet Muhammad is His messenger."

Their spirits were embraced by the mercy of Allah as they left this world, leaving behind a legacy of love, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. Naruto, the hero of the Leaf Village, would carry their teachings and their spirit within him, facing each challenge with gratitude and patience, just as they had wished.

As the village mourned the loss of their Fourth Hokage and his courageous wife, the burden of leadership fell upon the wise shoulders of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. In his arms, he cradled Naruto, the infant son of heroes who had given their lives to shield the village from Kurama's wrath. It was a somber and heart-wrenching moment, the passing of one era to another.

The villagers slowly gathered around the Hokage, seeking solace and wisdom after the devastation that had befallen them. Hiruzen, a leader who had witnessed both triumph and tragedy, knew that this was a crucial moment to impart guidance and unity.

With a voice that carried the weight of experience, he addressed the grieving crowd. "My fellow villagers," he began, "we stand here today in the shadow of a great calamity, but it is in times of darkness that we must find the light within ourselves."

Hiruzen drew strength from the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and shared them with the gathered people. "The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) once said, 'The person who strives on behalf of the widows and the poor is like those who strive in the way of Allah and like those who fast in the day and pray at night.'"

He urged those who had the means to reach out to the needy, emphasizing that their actions in helping the less fortunate were akin to acts of worship and a means to draw closer to Allah.
