"Al-Aziz" (the Mighty)

The attribute "Al-Aziz" (the Mighty) is mentioned in the Quran and Hadith to describe the might and power of Allah.

Quran 3:6:

"He is the One Who shapes you in the wombs as He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might (Al-Aziz), the Wise."

Acknowledging the might of Allah can foster patience, gratitude, and a sense of purpose in navigating the complexities of the modern world. Additionally, it encourages believers to approach difficulties with trust in Allah's wisdom and ability to overcome any adversity.

"I know about it, my sister," Rukia read as she was absorbed in the mystery horror novel. "It's all hidden in that box, isn't it?"

Rukia sweated as the protagonist and the villain confronted each other. "The jade box that mother gave you."

"Give me that box, my sister Marianne!" Rukia dramatically read. "Go on!"

"No! Don't open that box!" Rukia read with terror in her voice. "Francoise!... Noooo!"

"Hey, what the heck are you doing!" Ichigo suddenly yelled behind Rukia, who was intently reading, not paying attention to him as she was training him.

"Auzubillah!" Rukia cried in shock. Then she looked at her student, feeling guilty for getting caught unawares. "Oooh."

Rukia blushed in embarrassment.

"You scared me!" Rukia scolded Ichigo as she desperately tried to hide the fact that she had enjoyed the story drama too much. "I'm studying the contemporary vernacular of this world!"

"You were not." Ichigo bluntly pointed out. "You were reading a stupid horror comic while I was training my butt off? I am done."

"Huh?" Rukia asked surprised. "Ma sha Allah... You finished your training?"

"Alhamdulillah... yes!" he declared, pointing at the pitching machine. "What's this supposed to accomplish, anyway?"

"Auzubillah," Rukia face-palmed, seeing as the idiot didn't listen to her instructions to only hit the marked balls; instead, he hit them all. "I said only the marked balls!"

"Wrong balls?" Ichigo asked dumbfounded.

"That's right!" Rukia clarified, looking at the brat in the eye.

Silence reigned.

"Astagfirallah... How should I know?!" he yelled, holding the two equally marked balls with a bunny face and a hand sign that looked exactly like a bunny.

"Ichigo!" a female voice suddenly called out to him, but he didn't hear.

"Subhanallah... Listen!" Rukia seriously lectured the strawberry again. "The head is the Hollow's weak spot! This training will help you crack heads with precision, whatever the situation!"

"Why do I gotta do that?" Ichigo asked clueless. "I've been beating them just fine."

Rukia, sitting in front of Ichigo on the table, glared at her student.

"Subhanallah," she began. "When did you ever defeat a Hollow with one blow?"

Ichigo was annoyed that she was right about pointing that.

"Approaching a Hollow from behind and killing it with one blow is the essence of Hollow hunting!" Rukia continued. "Alhamdulillah... it's a miracle that you've survived fighting them as you have!"

"Hitting them from behind is unfair," Ichigo reasoned like a kid. "I can't do it!"

"Astagfirallah... Fool!" Rukia commented. "That kind of thinking will get you killed!"

Ichigo became silent, contemplating about how she was right, but then... "... I just..." he tried to reason.

"Hi, Ichigo!" Orihime suddenly yelled behind him, causing the strawberry enough shock that he looked like his soul is about to leave his body.

"Subhanallah!" Rukia gasped in surprise.

"Orihime!" Ichigo said as he realized who had yelled his name; he was too deep in concentration that he failed to notice her approaching him from behind. "W-what are you doing here?!"

"Hehehe," Orihime giggled as she showed him her groceries. "Shopping for dinner!"

"I bought leeks, butter, bananas, and bean jam jelly!" she enthusiastically enumerated.

Ichigo could only wonder what she's planning to make with those weird ingredients together.

"What are you doing here, Ichigo?" she suddenly asked.

"Huh? Me?" Ichigo felt troubled at the question. Wondering what he should say. It's not like he could tell her the truth. "I'm, uh... um..."

Suddenly, Orihime noticed the transfer student in their class. "Rukia?"

"Huh?" Rukia asked in wonder. "Do I know you?"

"Astagfirallah... Idiot!" Ichigo chastised her. "She's Orihime Inoue! She's in our class!"

"In our class?" Rukia asked as realization hits her. "Well, hello, Miss Inoue. How do you do, my dear!" she curtsied, getting into her goody-two-shoes act immediately.

"Huh... oh, I'm fine thank you," Orihime replied and curtsied as well. Though she felt awkward. She didn't expect Ichigo would be hanging out with her even outside of school.

Suddenly, Ichigo noticed the bandage on Orihime's arm. But the bubbly girl nonchalantly said that it's not serious as it happens all the time.

Rukia looked at the girl seriously, wondering if she was just clumsy, or...

Then she noticed the bruise on her feet.

"Oh no!" Orihime suddenly said as she looked at her watch. "I'm late!" she said as she ran away as fast as she could out of the park.

"You gonna be okay?!" Ichigo called out in concern. "Want me to walk you home?!"

"Huh?!" Orihime blushed. "N-no, I'm fine!!"

"Subhanallah..." Ichigo said as he concernedly looked at the girl walk away. "Just watching her makes me tired. I hope she's alright."

"That girl..." Rukia suddenly commented, getting Ichigo's attention. "Are you two close?"

"Not really..." Ichigo answered. "She's best friends with my childhood neighbor."

"Any siblings?" Rukia suddenly asked.

"Just one," Ichigo contemplated, remembering the night he first saw Orihime crying beside her older brother's dead body. "Her brother died three years ago."

"What's with all the questions?" Ichigo suddenly asked. "Are you worried about her?"

"No. I am not worried," Rukia said as nonchalantly as she could before walking away. "Come on... We're going home too!"

Ichigo looked at Rukia's seemingly arrogant manner, like she owns him or something.

"Hey... Where do you go home to?" Ichigo asked, curious all of a sudden.

"What?" Rukia suddenly stopped walking and looked at the boy teasingly. "Does my private life interest you?"

"As if!" Ichigo yelled. "Not in the least!"

"Then don't ask," Rukia answered coolly as she walked away.

While Ichigo burned in rage, though he really doesn't know why her attitude really riled him up so easily.

"I really wanted to say yes," Orihime whispered to herself as she walked away from the park. "I'm so stupid... He could've been more persistent, though..."


A snake-like man intently watched from behind the slits of his eye how the good-natured captain of Squad 5 greeted his subordinates with care, while they surrounded the captain with respect and complete adoration in their eyes.

Gin smiled, although he wasn't happy. After all, he knew who Aizen really was—a manipulative piece of garbage who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted, letting his prey dance unwittingly on the palm of his hand.

But he was unlike them. He would get his revenge soon enough and take back what Aizen had taken from his beloved.

Gin began to recall how he ended up in Soul Society. He was just 10 years old when he woke up after his death in this strange world. He didn't have any purpose, so he wandered in Rukongai until the day he saw a young girl being ganged up on by a couple of Shinigamis.

Not long after, they took the orb from her and gave it to the then Vice-Captain Aizen Sosuke. He had this sinister look on his face that Gin immediately knew he was their leader.

Not long after, he approached the unconscious girl.

Rangiku opened her eyes and looked at the smiling boy.
