| Assalamu Alaikum I received this article in my email and thought it would be an inspiration for the day! Be patient because Allah will send his reward. It's called Shipwreck. The Shipwreck The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island .... He prayed feverishly for Allah to rescue him,and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food,he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened;everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "Allah, how could you do this to me!" he cried. (Comment; Plenty of people use such statement --- think again you should never qestion Allah nor object to his willing) Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But w e shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground--it just may be a smoke signal that summons The Grace of Allah. Angelic :-* |
