AL-BASIR (The All-Seeing)

"Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing."— (Qur'an 4:58)

"And say, 'Do [as you will, for Allah will see your deeds, and [so, will] His Messenger and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do.'"— (Qur'an 9:105)

The relevance of the attribute "Al-Basir" in the modern world is profound. In a time where privacy concerns, surveillance, and accountability are significant issues, understanding Allah as the All-Seeing reminds believers of the ultimate observer of their actions. This knowledge can instill a sense of responsibility, integrity, and mindfulness in their behavior, both online and offline. It also emphasizes the importance of justice and fairness since Allah sees everything and will judge accordingly in the Hereafter.

Renji slumped on the table with bottles of sake lying around him. He wanted to drown himself in liquor, hoping that maybe it would quell his sorrow from losing Rukia.

Just this morning, she left the academy and became a noble Kuchiki lady, a princess. He should be happy for her...

But he honestly couldn't.

He badly wanted to stop her from leaving, but he didn't and avoided her at all costs. Cowardly, he believed that this was good for her, even though he knew that Rukia didn't wish for luxury and status.

Suddenly, he remembered how they used to do everything together. They slept in one bed under their dilapidated shack with the other orphans. How they used to play in the river and catch fish, how they cooperated to get fruits from the trees by letting her stand on his shoulder.

He missed it... Missed Rukia.

Tears fell from his reddened eyes as thoughts of possibilities overwhelmed him.

But he couldn't give her what the Kuchiki clan could, even in a hundred years.

Since they were children, he had always thought that Rukia didn't belong in Rukongai. That she deserved better than barely surviving in a poverty-stricken hell of Inuzuri.

"Rukia," he cried pathetically, making the woman behind him snicker.

"What's so great about that girl anyway?" She asked sarcastically. "She's not even that beautiful. And too skinny to be a full-fledged adult."

Renji turned around and looked at the woman insulting Rukia with tempered anger.

"Ok. Relax," she backed down with a shaken smile. "I do understand that love is blind, Renji-san! The one you fancy is always the most beautiful in the world."

Renji was taken aback.

Love?

Rukia lay in her new bed, looking up at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep. She was thinking about how her day had been.

That morning, she had accepted the adoption offer, seeing as she no longer had Renji—the only family she considered she had. The dean was ecstatic to get her reply after weeks of reminding her about it, even though she hinted that she didn't want to. Understanding that the Kuchiki clan isn't some ordinary clan, and that she had a debt of gratitude towards them, she finally relented.

And now here she was, lying alone inside a huge and luxurious room, not knowing what to do.

Byakuya had said during dinner that he would accompany her to her squad but didn't say when. He didn't even explain why he adopted her as his sister when he clearly is dissatisfied with her.

Rukia suddenly remembered how he avoided looking at her, and it was clear to anyone looking that he didn't even want to see her at all.

Her brow scrunched together.

"I really don't know how rich people think..." she thought.

Rukia gingerly got up from her futon, and her thoughts suddenly strayed back to the one person who she thought would always be with her—Renji.

"Baka..." she whispered, half angry and half frustrated. "Did he really think that I want to live in luxury? After all we've been through? I thought he knew me better than that," she thought.

Hugging herself for comfort, Rukia shook her head, remembering their childhood days and how they used to huddle for warmth during the winter season, as they only had each other for support.

"I am a bigger idiot," she admitted to herself. She should have turned the academy upside down to look for Renji and beaten him to a pulp to make him understand that he is more precious to her than all the wealth of this world.

Rukia sighed.

But the deed has been done... She's now a Kuchiki whether she likes it or not.

She had a debt to pay and a duty to render.

The Kuchiki clan demands excellence in its members.

Suddenly she remembered Byakuya's disappointed look, coming to the conclusion that getting approval from him would be extremely challenging.

"Why did he adopt me?" she asked herself before exiting to the balcony.

Rukia finally caught up to Chad when the hollow appeared behind her. It suddenly attacked her, stating that she was more appetizing than the entity inside the parakeet.

Disgusted, Rukia expertly avoided the hollow's blows and counterattacked, even though the gigai she had was too weak.

The hollow easily struck her away, causing her to tumble on the pavement like a ragdoll. But thanks to her quick reflexes, she was able to lessen the damage to her gigai's body.

It was clear as day; she could see how astronomical their gap was. She had no match for the hollow using this gigai. If only she had her zanpakuto, this fight would have ended in seconds.

But she pushed forward with determination and kicked the hollow in the face. As she was in the air, she prepared to cast a kido spell into the hollow's mask, which was its main weakness. Because even an ant can defeat a giant with a strategic attack to its weak spot... In sha Allah.

The kido struck the hollow, causing an explosion that caught Chad's attention. Even though he couldn't see what the transfer student was fighting with, he came to the conclusion that he had to help her.
