Allah is the Arabic word for god .The teacher became angry and hit Kais on his palms with a stick . At the same time, Laila began to bleed from her palms . The teacher believed that this was a miracle which proved that Laila and Kais were meant to be with each other .The lovers want to get married but their families hate each other since many generations.
