It's the 19th of Ramadan, and the Turtoise was just at home, resting, until, he finds out that It's the death of Imam Ali (a.s). Curious, The Turtle looks towards his owner who is listening to a Latmiya. Which is a type of sad poetry for mourning for the Ahlulbayt (saws). His Turtle remembers last time when he went to Najaf, then walked to Karbala, and realized he never actually stopped so he could look at Najaf. He wanted to go again. But before he could move an inch, he got picked up. His owner was taking him to the Husseiniyyah for the Program!
After the Program, the Mawlana that was giving the lecture noticed the little Turtoise, and decided to pick him up. The Mawlana knew exactly what the Turtoise wanted, and luckily, he was also going to Najaf tommorow. So he took permission from Skittles' Owner. And with hesitation, he agreed. The Mawlana left and reached home where he fed the turtle to a great feast of lettuce, fruits, and water. Because tommorow they were leaving to go on the flight. The turtle was excited. The turtle then ate most of the food and left some because it was full, the Mawlana put the Turtoise in a water bucket before going to pray Namaz e Shabb (aka. Tahajjud).
The next morning, the Mawlana gently scooped Skittles from his water-filled container. The little water turtle, still a bit sleepy, blinked his eyes and felt a surge of excitement. Today was the day! He was finally going to Najaf. The Mawlana carefully placed him in a small, secure, water-resistant container lined with soft, absorbent cloth. Skittles, feeling the familiar comfort of being held, knew this was the start of a grand adventure. As they walked out, Skittles knew he was truly blessed, as this time he is able to go to Najaf without going through all that hard work, Allah has made a path for him to go there.
The Turtoise starts thanking Allah (Swt) for giving him this great opportunity to visit his 1st Imam (a.s). They reach the Airport, finally, but they notice that the flight has been cancelled! Both the Turtoise and the Malwana are devastated because of this sudden turn of events, the Mawlana tries to talk to the workers to try and get to Najaf, but they cannot. The Mawlana, devastated, turns around and starts to walk out of the Airport.
While the Mawlana is walking away, the Turtle stares at the Airport, wanting to go back and go to Najaf, but thinks that it is too late. However, he has this sudden feeling, that if he does one thing, he will be able to go to Najaf and visit his Imam (a.s). The Turtle starts making Dua and asking Allah to accept his prayers, and soon, one of the Guards runs towards the Mawlana and Turtle, they are both surprised. The Guard tells them they are able to go now because the flight is not cancelled anymore! Allah made a way for the Turtle to go to Najaf! The Mawlana and Turtle are super happy and get inside the Airport. Then later, they enter the airplane and take off to go to Najaf.
