He Taught Me How to Pray

(By Fakhri Sattary, Martyr Satarry's Sister)
It was wintertime. One day Mansour returned from school. After doing his assignments and seeing to the cows and sheep, he came to me and said, "Sister! Do you want me to teach you how to say your prayers?" I said, "Whatever you say".
I was then eight and Mansour was ten. He went to perform ablutions and returned me, "Just sit beside the korsi and watch my lips!
Do not repeat with me and do not ask questions.
Just listen carefully. If you listen carefully you will learn".
He started from the two- unit prayer (a prayer with two times of prostration) and after ten days he had taught me all the day's prayers. Later I found out he had wanted to prepare me for attaining puberty period. Since I was fatherless he had found it his duty to take the responsibility.
