STORY OF COUPLE ON BOAT!

A man just got married and was returning home with his wife.

They were crossing a lake in a boat, when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless:The boat was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be drowned. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.

The woman was trembling and she said, "Are you not afraid ?". This may be our last moment of life! It doesn't seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only some miracle can save us; otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?

The man laughed and took the sword out of its sheath.

The woman was even more puzzled:What he was doing?

Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman's neck, so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck. He said," Are you afraid ?"

She started to laugh and said," Why should I be afraid ?,If the sword is in your hands, why I should be afraid? I know you love me.

"He put the sword back and said, This is my answer".

I know ALLAH Loves me, and the storm is in His hands
SO WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

If we survive, good; if we don't survive, good, because everything is in His hands and He cannot do anything wrong.

Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) say's in the Quran "But it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not" (Quran, 2:216).

'Say: "He is the Most Gracious (Allah) in Him we believe, and in Him we put our trust. So, you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error.'[4]

'The condition of the one who relies on Allah is like the condition of the one who is given a dirham by a King, then it gets stolen from him; so the King says to him: "I have many times as much as that, so don't worry. When you come to me, I will give you from my treasures much more than that." Thus if (this person) knows the truthfulness of the king's statement, and trusts him, and knows that his treasures are full of that, then what he missed will not make him sad.'

'If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsakes you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah (Alone) let the believers put their trust'.[5]
