THE RAT'S REFUGE (Anthropomorphic Fiction)

In the Rat Kingdom of Grainfall, where the walls smelled of stored rice and the floors remembered many footsteps, lived two gentle rats named Rayan and Rafia. Their world was small to the eyes of humans, yet their hearts carried prayers as wide as the sky.By day, humans only noticed the rats when food went missing. They shouted then. They cursed then. They struck the ground with anger. Yet in their shouting, they never counted how many times they had wronged their own makers, how many times mercy was given to them without limit. Rayan watched this quietly and whispered to Rafia that creatures remember hunger faster than they remember mercy.Rafia looked at Rayan with eyes full of warmth and said that her love for him was not tied to food or safety. She told him that even if the ground was bare and the walls were empty, her heart would still choose him. She said love was staying when fear asked you to run.Rayan smiled softly and told her that loving her taught him how to trust Allah more. He said that when he loved her gently, he remembered how Allah loves His creation with patience, even when they return with the same mistakes. He told her that his heart felt calm whenever she whispered the name of Allah beside him.At dawn, when the kingdom was quiet, Rafia rested her head against Rayan and said she loved him in ways that did not need words. She said she loved him when he was strong and when he was tired. She loved him when he doubted himself and when he believed again. She loved him because love was an act of mercy, not a reward for perfection.Rayan answered that he loved her with a promise that did not depend on ease. He said he loved her in scarcity and in plenty. He loved her when the path was clear and when it was confusing. He loved her because choosing her reminded him to keep choosing goodness, patience, and prayer.In the Rat Kingdom, traps appeared like silent trials. Loss came without warning. Yet Rafia would hold Rayan close and say that no test was greater than Allah’s mercy. She would remind him that even if they fell a hundred times, they could rise a hundred and one times by returning to Allah.Rayan would reply that every time he felt afraid, he made the same du a again. He said he never felt ashamed to repeat his prayer because Allah never gets tired of listening. He told Rafia that her presence beside him felt like an answered prayer he never knew how to ask for.Their love grew deeper with remembrance. They spoke kindly to each other, even in hunger. They forgave quickly, even in pain. They learned that love becomes stronger when hearts are soft. They believed that if Allah covers faults, then lovers should cover each other too.When humans shouted again because grains were missing, the rats hid in the shadows. Rayan whispered that people shout when food is taken, yet forget how many times they have taken mercy for granted. Rafia replied that Allah still feeds them, still protects them, still leaves the door of return open.Under the pale moonlight, Rayan told Rafia that his love for her was a prayer that never ended. He said he would keep choosing her the way he kept choosing to return to Allah. Rafia told him that loving him felt like worship, because it taught her patience, forgiveness, and gratitude.She said she loved him with a love that waited. She loved him with a love that trusted timing. She loved him with a love that believed answers come in the best way, even when delayed. Rayan told her that he loved her with a love that stayed silent but steady, a love that did not need the world to notice it.And so in the Rat Kingdom of Grainfall, love survived softly. It survived through repeated prayers. It survived through repeated forgiveness. It survived through hearts that kept returning to Allah, again and again.Their love became a living du a. Repeated without fear. Held with hope. Answered with peace. Always heard. Always guided.
