You ate dinner over the sink again — and realized you hadn't said a word out loud all day.

Everyone thinks Zaid is living the dream; he feels like a ghost. Bilal reframes it through the Hijra — the Prophet ﷺ leaving everything, and "do not grieve, Allah is with us" — and the honour of being a stranger. On loneliness, moving away, and the One who is nearer than your jugular vein.

Referenced: Qur'an 9:40; the cave of the Hijra; "nearer than the jugular vein" (50:16); the hadith of the ghuraba (Sahih Muslim).
