Beelal Part 1 Complete Hausa Novel

The Journey of Life
 
Life has many stages, and each is filled with challenges. Sometimes, a change in life tastes like honey in the mouth, while other times it is bitter like bile. Every human being carries a destiny: for some, it is the loss of parents, which brings deep sorrow; for others, it is poverty, especially when paired with a lack of contentment. Still others suffer from the absence of a good life partner, a husband or wife who can be a true companion.
 
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “This world is enjoyment, and the best of its enjoyment is a righteous woman.” For men, lacking a righteous wife is like missing part of life’s joy, while for women, lacking a God-fearing husband makes marriage feel like a prison. A woman in such a home may live physically alive, but emotionally, she feels buried.
 
Thus, one must always seek Allah’s choice above personal desires, for His decree is best even when it feels heavy.
 
Fatima’s Burden of Destiny
 
Fatima’s destiny embodied three heavy trials: orphanhood, poverty, and an unfortunate marriage. She lost both her parents and grandparents who raised her. Then she faced crushing poverty. But worst of all was her marriage to Idrisu, who failed to fulfill the duties of a husband.
 
Instead of being her support, Idrisu abandoned her emotionally and financially. Fatima’s heart ached with endless regret—she wished she had never married him. Many times she thought: “If only I could go back in time, I would never have chosen Idrisu as my husband nor the father of my children.”
 
One day, tears streamed down her swollen eyes as she looked around her home, searching for food. Hunger and despair overwhelmed her frail body. The bag of rice held no more than a cup, the beans bucket was empty, and even the pasta carton was bare. Fatima whispered painfully:
 
“Oh sister, why have you not come for so many days? You are my only support. Even the man responsible for us seems to have forgotten we exist.”
 
She wept not only for herself but more for her son Beelal, who could not endure hunger like she did. With what little rice remained, she tried to cook something for him before he returned from school.
 
The Mockery of Innocence
 
While Fatima cooked, children’s voices outside pierced her heart:
 
“Bent leg—Beelal! Crooked mouth—Beelal! Bent arm—Beelal! He cannot speak—Beelal!”
 
It was the cruel chant the children of the village always sang to mock her son’s disability. Anger and pain nearly consumed her—when would they stop tormenting her child? She hurried outside, not even fixing her hijab properly, only to find Beelal surrounded by mocking classmates. His little friend Hameeda stood crying beside him, defending him with all her heart.
 
Through tears, Hameeda sobbed:
“Mama, wallahi, we never provoke them, but every day they follow us after school and mock Ya Beelal.”
 
Fatima’s heart broke further. Yet, amidst the cruelty, she deeply loved Hameeda, who never despised Beelal but instead showed him loyalty and compassion.
 
People often forget: every human is created by Allah from a mere drop, and no one can change His creation. Yet society quickly labels one as beautiful or ugly, normal or disabled, forgetting that Allah alone shapes His creatures.
 
A Mother’s Consolation
 
Fatima held Hameeda’s hand and went to her son, who sat crouched, weeping. Kneeling beside him, she said gently:
 
“Oh my son Beelal, I told you before: whoever mocks you, tell them, ‘This is how Allah created me.’ Do not cry.”
 
But Beelal replied between sobs:
“Mama, I tried… but today even the teacher drove me away when I wanted to read.”
 
Fatima’s heart burned. A teacher, instead of supporting a child with disability, chose rejection. She knew such pain too well—every mother feels special love for her weakest child, the one burdened by illness or disability. Her compassion for Beelal was endless.
 
She embraced both children, whispering comfort, and led them home. Inside, she seated them on the mat, calming their tears before returning to the cooking fire.
 
Hunger and Helplessness
 
As she blew at the firewood, Hameeda’s voice broke her thoughts:
 
“Mama, even his shoe tore today when the children chased us.”
 
Fatima’s heart sank deeper. She had no money even for food, let alone shoes. She sighed, hiding her pain:
 
“Do not worry, my daughter. If Allah provides, I will buy him new ones. If not, we will repair them.”
 
From the corner, Beelal whispered softly with his trembling speech:
“Mama… don’t buy new ones… I know you have no money. Just mend them for me.”
 
The words cut Fatima like a knife. A child so young should never have to worry about poverty, yet Beelal already bore the weight of their suffering.
 
Despite her trials, Fatima drew strength from her children. Their tears pained her, but their resilience gave her courage. She constantly reminded herself that hardship is not permanent; with every difficulty, Allah promises ease.
 
Her days revolved around battling hunger, shielding Beelal from cruelty, and praying for relief. Still,
within her brokenness lay a mother’s unshakable love—an endless well of sacrifice.
