Hamida is sadly sitting in her room. Phuphi comes to her and ask what are you doing here? See the weather, it seems storm is going to come, Hamida says I want to stop this storm, she tells Phuphi something to stop war (which is muted).
Voiceover says Hamida was tryng to stop the War and her try will bring another storm!
Jodha is praying to Khana, Hamida comes and saves the oil lamp, Jodha greets her and says you are an example, for you, praying to God and Khana is same, Hamida says you are right, I want to ask something, Jodha ask what? Hamida says you said that praying to God and Khana is same? You agree to it? Jodha says yes, Hamida says maybe I am asking you a lot, but it’s important, I want you to change your religion, accept Islam, Jodha is stunned, she says Ammi jan (Mother) you are saying this? You stopped me from doing this.
Hamida says your Ammi jan stopped you but today, Marium Makani (Queen Mother) is asking you to change it, I have responsibility to bind my family and today, my family is breaking, brothers are fighting, father and son are fighting, our relations with Iran is also changing, many would die in this War, with this one decision of yours, everything will be fine, please accept Islam.
Jodha says but what will Jalal say? Hamida says he will get miffed with you and me but think that by changing your religion, everything will be fine, Salim will get the Throne, Khanum’s relationship will be made again, we will have good relations with Iran, people will not die, your Mother is asking you for something for the first time in life, she ask Jodha to save her family, I am folding my hands in front of you.
Jodha says your hands are to give blessing only, not to beg, she kisses her hands and cries, she looks at Khana and says don’t worry Ammi jan, I will accept Islam, Hamida hugs her, Hamida says I knew it, that you will not disappoint me, she says I will prepare for this ceremony, don’t tell this to anyone, she leaves, Jodha is in tears.
Daniyal comes to Salim and says I want to talk to you, Salim says you came to taunt me too? Daniyal says I just want to say that Murad is not wrong, he never wanted to become next King, but you insulted him, you have started all this, Salim says what you both did? Did you forget that I am your elder brother? I can show my anger to you people, but one Crown made him so much arrogant that he forgot I am his brother, he says I am not hurt that he is the next King, I am hurt that you both forgot our relationship.
Daniyal says you have forgotten the relationship, you forgot that you are going to marry Mann Baisa and you are meeting that Dancer, I saw you in the Market too. Salim says it was a coincidence that she was in the Market and I came there too, but I couldn’t stop myself from meeting her, Daniyal says what about Mann Baisa? Salim says I want to tell you that I only like Anarkali, I know you are Mann Baisa’s friend, so you must be worried, but I am in love with Anarkali and I can’t stop myself from meeting her, you can complain to Jalal, he leaves.
Jalal comes to Jodha and says I came to listen to Bhajan in your melodious voice, will you do Bhajan? Jodha thinks that I will sing Bhajan for the last time, Jodha sings bhajan in tears, she cries, Jalal hugs her and ask what happened? Jodha says when I sing this bhajan, I get emotional.
At night, Jodha is sadly sitting in her room, Moti comes there with dress for her, she ask Jodha why are you doing this? Jodha says if by changing my religion, I can save people, then let me change it, I gave birth to Salim, his right should not be snatched from him, I have to see to that, as a Mother and as the Queen of India, so I am taking this step, she cries, and goes to Khana and says it’s same if singing Bhajan or listening to Azan, we pray to God from the heart, there is no difference between Quran and geeta, the feeling is same, she ask Khana to give her strength to follow her decision, you have said that to do good and not think about the reward, if you think I am not doing good, then forgive me please, but for my Son and for my people, I will take this step.
Jodha is dressed as a Muslim girl, she looks at Jalal talking with Murad, she recalls how Hamida pleaded her to accept Islam. Jodha comes to Hamida, Hamida says to her that what you are about to do, everyone’s happiness lies in there, Jodha leaves with her in the palanquin.
Jodha and Hamida comes to the Priest of Islam. The Priest ask Jodha are you here with your consent? Jodha says yes, he ask were you forced to be here? Hamida says I have brought her with her consent. The Priest says but I have to know from her, he ask Jodha were you forced? Jodha says no, he says now, we will make you accept Islam, he recite some holy verses (kalma), he again ask Jodha will you accept Allah as your God with your consent? Will you accept Allah and his Prophet? You can not lie here? He ask Jodha to answer, do you accept to be Muslim? He ask her to recite Kalma.
Jodha recalls how Jalal said to her that don’t ever accept Islam in pressure, it will be disrespectful to Islam, Me and my Nation. Jodha thinks I have understood Jalal, I will not get forced and will not change my religion.
The Priest ask her to recite Kalma (holy lines of Islam) if she accept Islam without force, Jodha thinks and gets up.
Hamida ask her to recite it. Jodha says I will not recite Kalma, as it will be disgrace to Islam, my Khana may forgive me, but I won’t be able to forgive myself, she says to the Priest that I am in pressure of Iran. Hamida says think about Salim and Jalal?
Jodha says I accept I have responsibility as a Mother, but I am a Wife too, I can’t deceive Jalal by doing this, I have got family because of Jalal, then how can I go against him and accept Islam? Khanum should not marry into a family where they force people to change religion, and by changing my religion, will their thinking change, NO? For you, me and Jalal, praying to any God is same, but then why should I change my religion for King of Iran? I respect Islam as much as I respect being Hindu, but I will not change religion, I will be standing beside Jalal in thick and thin, but will not change my religion.
Hamida says I have rights on you, I am Marium Makani (Queen Mother) and I order you to accept Islam!
The Priest says to Hamida that you are forcing her and this is a great sin, I won’t tolerate this!
Jodha says forgive me Ammi (Mother). Hamida says I asked you for a thing for the first time and you disappointed me! She leaves, Jodha is tensed.
Jodha comes to her room, she looks at herself in the mirror, she cries. Moti comes there and says I told you it will be difficult to change religion, you have prayed to one god for years, so how can you change it? Jodha says I didn’t change my religion, Jalal is fighting for me and for the rule of Islam, so my acceptance of Islam would have hurt Jalal, it would be deceiving Jalal and Islam just to accept it for Salim and Hamida, Moti says you did right.
Jodha says but Hamida, for the first time, I didn’t listen to her, I have hurt her, she not only called me daughter, but has treated me like her daughter, she is miffed with me. Moti says your relationship with her is strong, dont worry, everything will be fine.
In the morning, Jodha is doing Tulsi prayer, she says Tulsi mata, first time, I have not listened to my mother Hamida, I have disappointed her, forgive me.
Jalal is passing by there and finds Jodha praying, he smiles looking at her, Jodha starts leaving, Hamida comes there, Jodha greets her and ask her to take Aarti, Hamida takes aarti and leaves from there angrily, Jalal notices the tension.
Moti says to Jodha that she will take time to understand, Jodha says I don’t know how to make her understand.
Jalal says why didn’t Hamida talk to Jodha, this never happened that Jodha greeted Hamida and she didnt answer it back, something is wrong!
Jodha is sitting in her room. Jalal comes there and says I am angry with you, you disappointed Hamida, Jodha is stunned and says I am sorry, I didn’t want to hurt her, Jalal smiles and says you are afraid, I am saying you greeted her and she didn’t answer you back, Jodha thinks he doesn’t know anything, she says it is matter of daughter and mother, we will solve it, you don’t worry, Jalal says okay, if she doesn’t understand your thinking, then tell me, I will explain to her, Jodha says it will not be needed, Jalal says I know as she loves you a lot, he leaves.
Jodha says I have to talk to her before Jalal gets to know anything.
One Soldier comes and one jewelry was found in the palanquin. Jalal comes there and says it is of Queen Jodha, he ask where did she go? He says she went to the Mosque with Hamida, he takes the jewelry and thinks why did Jodha go to the Mosque with Hamida and today, Hamida was not talking to her, what’s the thing?
Hamida gifts Salima the gold cover for the Quran pak, Jodha comes there, Salima says to Jodha that see, Hamida has gifted us the cover of Quran pak, Jodha says it’s really nice. Jodha says to Hamida that I want to talk to you in private, Salima says I will come later.
Hamida says Salima, you don’t have to go anywhere, all should know what Jodha has done! Salima ask what happened, you never talk in this tone? Hamida says I was never insulted like this, I asked for something and she disappointed me. Jodha says I couldn’t give it to you, Hamida says I will not forgive you for that! She leaves.
Salima ask what happened? Jodha tells her everything, Salima says how can Hamida take such a big step without discussing it with Jalal? Jodha says Jalal is going on War, don’t tell him anything, Salima agrees.
Jodha is in her room, Jalal comes there, she greets him, Jalal curtly looks at her, he gives her jewelry to her and says you left it in the palanquin, Jodha is stunned and takes it, he ask where did you and Hamida go to yesterday night? Jodha says don’t ask me, I won’t be able to lie and can’t tell you the truth either. Jalal says what is forcing you to keep secret from me? Jodha says don’t ask me, he says okay, I will ask Hamida. She says you swear on me that you won’t ask anything from her.
Jalal says you swear on me to tell everything to me. Jodha says I went there to accept Islam, Jalal is shocked, Jodha says I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t break your trust, I didn’t change my religion, Jalal says you promised me, then why did you go there? Why did Hamida even go there with you? I can’t see you in this condition, tell me the whole truth.
Jodha says Hamida made me agree to change religion, Jalal says this means it was Hamida’s idea, she forced you to change your religion? I am hurt that the two women I trust the most have hurt me, she has taken wrong decision, I will talk to her, Jodha says you swear on me that you will not talk to her, this is mine and hers matter, so don’t come in between, Jalal says I am always in between. Jodha says this is the matter of daughter and Mother, I know how to pacify her, I promise you, but you promise me too that you will not talk to her, no Mother can be miffed with her daughter for a long time. Jalal says I am the King, but you always order me, they hug.
Hamida says to Gul Badan that I always thought of Jodha as my daughter, but she insulted me in front of the Priest by not agreeing to Islam, Gul says if Jalal gets to know about it, then he will be so angry with you, Hamida says I am not afraid of him, I am his Mother. Hoshiyar listens to all this and thinks to tell everything to Ruqaiya.
Hoshiyar comes to Ruqaiya and tells her everything, she says what a great news, it’s good she didn’t change her religion and now, Hamida is also against Jodha, now Jodha will lose against Hamida, now see what games I will play in the Harem (Women Quarters)!
Todar sys to Birbal that Jodha did good as then, it would have been assumed that Jalal bowed to Iran by changing Jodha’s religion, Birbal says but it will affect the Harem’s relation.
The news of Jodha and Hamida’s rift spread like fire in the Harem.
Anarkali says to Zil Bahar that Jodha and Hamida’s fight news is not good, Salim must be worried regarding this matter, he doesn’t show it, but he cares for Jodha.
Salim comes to meet Jodha in her room, Jodha says I know why you are here Salim, you are bugged with me that I didn’t change my religion? I couldn’t give you your rights, I have disappointed you as a Mother. Salim takes off his slippers and bows to Khana first, Jodha looks on, he lits the oil lamps of Khana’s Temple.
Salim says to Jodha that I am bugged with you and the reason is why did you think to change your religion? Jodha is stunned, he says thank God, you stopped yourself, you always taught me to respect all religions, to not get forced by anyone, I said in anger that why did you not change your religion, but I never meant to hurt you, I say stupid things in anger, Jalal has made Murad next King for the time being, I am not hurt for this that much, but if you had changed religion for me, then it would have hurt me the most, Jodha smiles.
Salim ask should we do Khana’s prayer together? Jodha get happy, he gives her the aarti plate.
Ruqaiya comes there and sees them together, she is angered and leaves.
Jodha sings Man Mahan and does aarti.
