Assalamo alaykum wr wb,
Last Friday my mom was in a horrible car accident. Allah (SWT) saved her life and she’s slowly recovering, alhamdulillah.
At the time of accident, she was driving back home by herself. Hence, right after the accident she was in excruciating pain and bleeding a little. She was unconscious for a breif moment or two, however, smoke filling in the car made her somewhat conscious again. She only had enough strength to unbuckle the seatbelt and get out of the car.
Then came two females and upon inquiring my mom discovered the two females were not with the guy who hit her, but happened to be two Muslim sisters passing by who saw another Muslim sister in need.
The two ladies helped my mom to her feet, took her to a car and turned the heating on, as it was quite cold outside. They tried to comfort my mom that Allah (SWT) saved her life and that alhamdulillah my mom is alright.
They are the ones who called the police, my aunt, and us to get to the scene. The two of them stayed with her till we got there. All that time they were comforting my mom, telling her to read duaas, thank Allah (SWT) for saving her life and that everything will be alright.
They were non-hijabis themselves, yet they stopped by my mom (hijabi) and helped and consoled her to the best of their ability. Upon inquiring they said they’re from Afghanistan, the country many of us love to put down and ridicule.
I always try my best to always think high of other Muslims and to never look down upon them. However, the assistance they offered my mom has really touched me and has left a real impact on me. To an extent it has made me understand the true meaning of Islamic brotherhood. SubhanAllah, it’s so beautiful and amazing that it honestly cannot be put to words.
The only reason I shared this incident is to sort of encourage everyone to help out others in need, especially Muslims and that too without paying any attention to the country of origin and other such minuscule details. I know I’ve been somewhat careless in the past, however, from now on I’ll try my best to stop by and try to help those in need, insha’Allah.
May Allah (SWT) grant my mother a speedy recovery and bless the two sisters and reward them for the assistance they offered my mother when she needed it the most, ameen.
