I need to write this because I believe it is important for me to do so. It all started when I stepped out from my housemate's car. We were just back from buying some groceries when a student shouted, "Ummi, Hani pengsan!" I did not take it so seriously since I know that these girls are always so worn out after training everyday. So, I thought that the reason for her fainting is because she got so exhausted. But I still tag along the way just to make sure that everything is okay.
The moment I walked inside the dorm, Hani was lying unconscious on the floor and surrounded by the other girls who tried to wake her up. I slowly pushed myself in the crowd and told the girls to give some room for her to breathe. All of them obediently follow my order and I was left with Hani, three of her best friends, and my housemate. The first step I made was calling her name a few times rather loudly and shaking her body lightly, hoping for her to wake up, but unfortunately she did not move even an inch. I tried to open her eyes and I can see her pupils moving but her eyelids seemed too heavy. That was when I realized that I was not facing any ordinary fainting. My heart started to beat a little faster than usual....
My house mate seemed to realize the same thing because she started to ask whether any of the girls can read Surah Yasin. That is because both of us were not 'available' to perform Solah! Talk about bad timing, isn't it? As for me, I started to slap her face lightly and forced her to wake up. After a while, with all her strength she began to open her eyes. She looked so terrified and with rolling tears she tried to say something to me but her voice seemed to disappear. Her two best friends, seeing her painful condition, began to cry as well. I do not need more students to receive the same condition, so I told them to stay away from the room. Fortunately my housemate found a couple of students who were 'available' and manage to read Surah Yasin properly, so without delay they recited the verses. My house mate also played her Ayat Kursi mp3 from her handphone.
Meanwhile I encouraged the girl to be brave and ask aid from Allah. I even need to guide her to utter the Kalimah Syahadah and she managed to do so... slowly... painfully... I congratulated her for her bravery but I really did not know how to make her better. Still, I need to try something! I then, recited Ayat Kursi clearly to her ears. She reacted by screaming so loudly with a hoarse voice and fainted again. A couple of times she woke up, screaming and fainting again. I felt so sorry for her that I hugged her all this while and forgot about my fear. However when a veteran male staff with another female staff came to see her, she slowly became conscious and stop screaming. After she she got calm enough, we asked her what actually happened. She told us that she saw someone with a horrible face at the dorm door, then the person harassed her. She even informed us that the person told her that he/she will come again later. The male staff promised to come again late in the evening with an Ustaz who can cure her. We decided to leave the girl with her friend to take a rest and promised her to come back when the Ustaz come.
