The Family of Saints, Chapter 1- Story

Chapter 1-The Sinful soul of Reyhan It was a great family. They were bestowed with the rarest of knowledge of both spiritual and the living material world from their ancestors. The head of the family Sheik Habeeb had their laws and customs followed according with their sacred beliefs. The eldest of his four daughters was married to Reyhan an intellectual scholar who worked with the state. They had two male children a three year old and a new born. It was the day to welcome the second son in law of Sheik Habeeb. Reyhan had to attend a talk, so was a moment late. The house didn't wait and the dinner was served. When Reyhan reached, his pride and ego hurt him as the dinner was served without the eldest son in law. It so happened, he left the home without his wife and children. Those were the times of pride and anger; those were the times of hatred and revenge. The father and the son in law tried their own ways. Reyhan tried to keep the children with him but Sheik Habeeb won't allow. And he was divorced. He married yet another woman and had children but all girls. Sheik Habbeb sued him for not giving the expenses of the two boys. And after months of debates the verdict was passed against Reyhan to meet the expense of his sons, as he was getting salary from the state. He decided not to give. But the state started to cut off his salary. To take on Sheik Habeeb he resigned from his work with the state so that Sheik Habeeb doesn't take his money. Thus the sons were raised without a father. And they were taught with knowledge by the Sheik. They grew into youth. For college education, his eldest son Raheem required his father's signature and he left to meet him whose image he couldn't recollect.
