Fajr time, bro. Let’s go to the musalla.

You go ahead. I’ll pray after sunrise.

Narrator (V.O.):

“Every soul hears the call… but not every heart responds.”

fata, Dhuhr time. Come, let’s pray.

After I grab something to eat, bro. Don’t worry.

But time does not wait.”

  • Gisha stands nearby, holding his mat, waiting patiently.

The Asr adhan plays over the loudspeaker.

Gisha:
Guys, Asr! Let’s go.

fata(laughing, catching his breath):
Just one more round! Then I’ll pray.

Camera:
Wide shots of the field; sweat, sunlight, joy — contrasted by gisha’s quiet concern.

one more laugh, one more moment…
and forgot that every moment counts.”

fata? Bro?

“He planned to pray after the match…
but his final match had already ended.”

The sun is low — soft golden hour lighting.

and one day, it will be your last.”

Fade out
with Qur’an recitation — Surah Al-Asr (103:1–3):

“By time, indeed mankind is in loss —
except those who believe, do righteous deeds,
and remind each other of truth and patience.”
