Since this story uses a lot of Islamic phrases and Arabic words, I thought I'd make a glossary to help those who don't know these words to understand and enjoy the story, as not everyone here speaks Arabic (don't worry, neither do I xD) 

 Peace be with you (classic Islamic greeting)

If Allah (God) Wills It (usually said when referring to future events)

May Allah reward you with goodness (a beautiful way to say thank you)

As God has willed (when complimenting someone)

All praise is due to Allah (a common reply to "how are you" to show gratefulness to God)

I seek forgiveness from Allah (Mariam says this A LOT xD)

I swear by God (to prove to someone you ain't lying)

Oh God (asking God to give you strength, as Mariam has to do whenever dealing with Damian xD)
