Dragon Horse. Content Warning.
The first technique Aroon's grandfather teaches her is how to take a hit. The only way to strengthen a sword is to keep beating and beating the blade.

Migration to Madinah (Hijrah) The situation in Makkah became extremely difficult for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers.
