Life is so unpredictable. Nobody knows what is going to happen in next moment of this journey. Sometimes, it becomes blessing of Almighty Allah and sometimes a really big problem. Allah says in Quran ‘Blessings are from Allah and problems come from your own mistakes. Thus, whenever you face any problem you must seek help from me.’
It is a belief which gives hope and the courage in needy time. Personally, I believe that we must be mentally, physically and emotionally ready for any uncertain situation in life. This is a ray of courage, will help you to come out of the situation or at least it gives you some patience to deal with. While writing this paragraph, I recalled the true story of Aron Ralston a climber who fallen boulder crashes on his right arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah, U.S.A.
In his story, he did a serious mistake that he didn’t inform to anyone about his journey. In fact, he didn’t carry cell phone, internet device or any other communication device with himself. Anyhow, after five days of survival without sufficient food and water he met with serious mental disorder. He recalled his childhood days, friends gathering, relationship and achievements. On the 5th day, when he didn’t receive any help, he broke his arm bone and cut the muscles himself.
This is only option which can extricate him from the situation. He beard severe pain but he hiked over eight miles before he can be rescued. He didn’t lose hope which gave him courage to deal with the situation and come out of the hell. He is living a happy life with his wife and a cute kid, Leo in U.S.A. Surprisingly, he still used to climb but now he always leaves a note that where he is going. Humans do mistakes but idiots repeat it again and again.
