I have had many circumstances where I fear that my life or that someone else's life could possibly be put in risk. Every time that it happens, I pray and pray that nothing bad happens. Every time that I do that, it all turns out okay. Am I just lucky? Is it a coincidence? Did god do this for me?
It was storming out and there was a bad flood outside. It was late at night and my mom nor dad was home. Just my brother and me. The weather channel said that the waters were very high. I was praying and praying that nothing bad would happen and then within five minutes or so my mom came home. I was still upset that my dad wasn't home, but my mom told me that everything was going to be okay. I still prayed and prayed and he came home safely.
Tornado's are very very bad and I am terrified of them. We were in the basement during a tornado warning and I could like hear it outside. I was crying because, at the time, it was the thing that I was most scared of. Yet again, I prayed that everything would be okay and that the tornado would not hit us and soon everything was quite calm and finally, it was all over. There was little damage and our house did not get hit.
There has been other incidents, but they were rather smaller things.
So I wonder, was it my praying to god that stopped the bad things from happening, or was it just a coincidence that nothing bad happened? I have always wondered. I have a feeling, though, that if it were not for god, I could not be here. And for that, I am very thankful.
Bad things happen to people so that Allah/ GOD can test their faith.
He wants to know who will make their faith pure to him alone...
(forsaking all other things e.g. Idols, people, money)...because people worship a lot of bad things without even realizing it.
Keep praying to him alone and all good will come to you.
But beware you have an enemy (in satan) and he does not want you to keep your faith pure for Allah / GOD.
There will be times in your life when he will tempt you and try his hardest to lead you astray from the true path... Never ever give in... To low desires.
To do something you feel or instinctively know is the wrong thing to do.
As such behaviour can take you away from Allah /GOD.
Always do what you know is right! Sometimes this can be a feeling or the first thought that comes to mind.
Though sometimes in life people will come and try and tell you otherwise. (they may mislead you).
