Bismillah
As Salam alaikum
I was driving home from Juma' this past week when a boy, who did not look, ran in front of my car from behind a van. I hit him. Alhamdulillah it was just his leg and I was already slowing down. Alhamdulillah that he then got up and ran to his mother. Alhamdulillah, they were nice and understanding about the whole situation. Alhamdulillah, so were the police. Alhamdulillah no ambulance was needed and that there was only a red mark. Alhamdulillah that witnesses came forward to verify that it was not my fault.
Most of all, Alhamdulillah that I am muslim so I have not played the "what-if" game until I was sick. Instead, I have been very grateful that Allah Helped me.
I have been making a lot of dua' begging Allah to help me in my situation as if He is not. Astaghfirullah, it took this terrifying incident for me to understand that Allah is ALWAYS Helping me... in ways and means that I will never fully comprehend.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
