Al-Fatiha (1:2): All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds

This verse is recited by Muslims during the standing position of the prayer and serves as a foundational acknowledgment of Allah's lordship and the source of all praise.

Ultimate Creator:

Allah is considered the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Everything in existence owes its existence to Him. As the ultimate Creator, all praise is due to Him for bringing everything into being.

Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Maintainer of everything.(Quran 39:62)

Islamic term meaning:

auzubillah minashaitan ni rajeem (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the accursed Satan)

astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness in God)

auzubillah (I seek refuge in Allah)

In sha Allah (God willing)

Subhanallah (Glory be to God)

La hawla wala kuwata illa billah (there is no power and no strength except with Allah)

bismillah (in the name of Allah)

alhamdulillah (praise be to God)

Assalam (peace)

"auzubillah minashaitan ni rajeem...All of this..." Ichigo began to say. "was because of me?!"

Rukia looked at the teenage boy with concern at his strange behavior.

"My dad's dying over there... Karin, and Yuzu bleeding," he said more to himself than to Rukia. "All of this...astagfirullah."

Seeing that the boy was having a mental breakdown because of what she hypothesized made her distracted from the hollow in front of them.

"astaghfirullah...Wait," Rukia worriedly called to the boy. "That is not what I meant..."

Suddenly, she was thrown to the side by the hollow's attack, causing Ichigo to worry.

"Shinigami!" Ichigo called out to the girl smashed against the concrete wall.

The hollow then stood in front of him, poised to attack while he was kneeling on the ground in frustration.

Rukia gingerly stood from where she was thrown off.

"auzubillah...I failed to guard my flank," she whispered to herself as blood oozed from her wound on her head. "How careless... Shameful."

While she chastised herself, Rukia noticed the boy standing in front of the hollow, utterly defenseless.

"Hey ugly... You want me?" he asked the monster. "Then forget the others and kill me!"

"auzubillah...You fool!" Rukia yelled at the teenage boy as she ran towards him.

'In sha Allah...I won't let anyone die in front of me again,' she subconsciously thought.

'astaghfirullah...ya Allah' Ichigo though as he stood his ground, waiting for the fatal blow, determined to not let anyone die because of him.

Suddenly, something happened.

Blood spluttered in front of him as the shinigami took the blow that was meant for him.

"Auzubillah..." Ichigo uttered in horror.

Rukia fell on her knees and then onto the ground, bathed in her own blood.

"Shinigami!" Ichigo called out to the girl.

"You..." Rukia called, barely breathing in pain. "Fool...auzubillah... Did you think it would be over if you die?"

Ichigo became paralyzed at the realization that nothing would actually change even if he sacrifice his life to the hollow, aside from earning a sin for his intention to commit su*cid*. And now, this girl is fatally wounded because of him.

"astagfirullah...I'm sorry..." Ichigo uttered, dejected. "I just wanted to..."

"La hawla wala kuwata illa billah...I fear... I cannot console you..." Rukia said regretfully, looking at the boy. "I am too badly injured to fight it... It is a matter of time... Until we all die."

Ichigo gritted his teeth in frustration.

'astagfirullah...it's all my fault!' he thought to himself. 'We're all gonna die.'

Rukia looked at the teenage boy punching the concrete ground in frustration, and understanding, because she knew what it felt like to be helpless to save one's loved ones. Then she was reminded of the verse of the Quran and hadith of the Prophet.

Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:32) : "(..)And whoever saves one life – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.( ...)" the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "To save one life is to save all of humanity."

And so right there, she decided to break the principal law of Shinigamis: 'never to give one's Shinigami abilities to ordinary people.'

Breaking this law is punished harshly, in order to dissuade any violators from carelessly giving away Shinigami technology to non-members. Because such a violation caused Soul Society to be shaken to its foundation in the past.

"Bismillah...Do you wish to save your family?" Rukia asked the boy, knowing that by offering, she's going to face severe punishment — even death.

Ichigo immediately looked at the shinigami. "In sha Allah...I'll do anything! Tell me how!" he demanded.

"Alhamdulillah...There is a way, I should say..." Rukia said, picking up her sword. "There's only one way."

Then she raised her sword towards the boy.

"In sha Allah...You must become..." Rukia worriedly stated. "a Shinigami."

Although she did not want to drag him into her world, but it's the only way for him to be able to live and save his family.

"What..." Ichigo asked in confusion.

"The chance of success is low," Rukia warned him. "and if we fail, you die!"

"Ichigo," someone called his name.

"Yuzu," Ichigo called out to the little girl lying on the pavement.

"Don't come... Dangerous," she whispered worriedly. "Run... Ichigo."

Ichigo looked at his little sister, realizing how they worried about him even though they were in danger.

'Auzubillah...To consider my safety now... I'd have to be a real punk to do that!' he thought to himself.

"Give me your sword, Shinigami," Ichigo resolutely said. "In sha Allah...We'll try your plan."

Rukia looked up at the brave boy, acknowledging his determination.

"Not Shinigami," Rukia said, looking up at him. "I am Kuchiki Rukia."

"Ichigo Kurosaki, assalam...nice to meet you," Ichigo replied. "Let's pray this won't be... our last meeting...in sha Allah."

Silence fell between them as the hollow approached.

"Bismillah..." Ichigo prayed. "Ready?"

"In sha Allah...Yes," Rukia answered. "Bismillah" she prayed before doing what she must.

Suddenly, energy exploded. And in the distance, a new Shinigami appeared, wielding a very large Zanpakuto. Behind him was the severed arm of the hollow.
