🌸 Something to Ponder...! 🌸

When we sit in a car, we know nothing about the driver, yet we sit back calmly; some even fall asleep during the journey.

When sitting on a bus, we never even think about how the driver is, or whether he even knows how to drive or not? And we travel enjoyably—some catch up on their sleep, while others enjoy the views.

When we board a train, we neither know the driver's name nor have any proof of his expertise, yet we sit with peace of mind, talk, eat, and happily move towards our destination.

Upon boarding an airplane, within a few moments we are up in the skies, and there, we don't even know what the pilot looks like... yet we sleep soundly, without a single doubt in our hearts.

When we place so much trust in the operators of these worldly vehicles—whom we don't even know—then...

Why do we doubt that Lord (Rab) who is running the vehicle of our life Himself?

That Lord who created us, who is watching us every single moment, who is well-aware of our state, who is our greatest well-wisher, and who said:

> "وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ"

"And He is with you wherever you are..." (Al-Hadid: 4)

Then why do we become victims of depression? Why do we remain worried? Why do we let the hardships of our life overpower our hearts and minds?

🌿 Will the Allah who has taken care of you until today, not take care of you in the future?

🌿 The One who gave you so much without even asking, why would He not give when asked?

🌿 The One who heard your plea without you uttering a word, why would He not have mercy on your prostrations (Sajdahs)?

That's it! Just trust Him, believe in Him, and live in peace...

Because the vehicle of your life is being run by Allah...
