Young David and his family spent a year in Saudi Arabia, seeking to learn more about the region and its diverse religious communities, including Arab Christians. They resided in a luxurious apartment situated near a rural town predominantly inhabited by Muslims.
One day, David wandered alone through the streets, dressed in casual Western clothing that visibly reflected his Christian background. As he passed by a mosque during prayer time, his attention was drawn to a striking sight—you, a young woman covered modestly in a black niqab, adorned with little to no jewelry, engaged in Salah alongside your family.
To David, your presence stood out—quiet yet powerful, dignified like a hidden gem.
After the worship concluded, he hesitantly approached and offered a polite introduction. "Good morning, miss. My name is David Stein, from America. I couldn’t help but admire your attire and the grace of your actions."
