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, butnone seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventuallymanaged to build a littlehut out of driftwood
to protect him from the elements and to store hisfew 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 stunnedwith grief and anger.
"Allah, how could you dothis to me!" he cried. 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 we
shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is atwork 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.
Pass this on. You never know who may be in need of this today.
