A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.
She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley, which was a short-cut to her house, she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her.
She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station.
She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her.
She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."
Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Just remember, Allah is the sole Helper..He saved Prophet Abraham from the flame of fire, He saved Prophet Musa from the evil Pharaoh..He protected Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. in his dangerous journey during Hijrah to Medina..Then Allah is the best Guardian. He is the Most Merciful (Yusuf: 64).
So, next time when u are in trouble, always remember Allah. Pray to Him, and with His Mercy, He will send His army to help..inshaAllah.
"tiada mustahil di dunia ini jika kita beriman dan bertaqwa.." [ Raihan ]
p/s: another point to add, always be in company..although u r biking (especially to my beloved sisters here..) bcos u'll never know when dangers come. Hope that we are always kept away from all those unwanted things..inshaAllah.
Sekian,
wassalam.
