How did you know I was here?

The plane crashed in uninhabited island and there was only one survivor. He was desperate & prayed to God to rescue him, and hoping everyday that somebody will come to help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of wood and grass to protect himself from the bad weather.

One day, after looking out for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. “God, how could you do this to me?” he cried.

Early the next day 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 survivor to his rescuers.

“We got your smoke signal,” they replied.

 

Moral: It’s easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn’t lose heart, and have trust in God. , even in the midst of pain and suffering.

Always remember that, whenever your hut seems to be burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

    It’s really an inspiring story. When we confront with such problems there is always someone who is the Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent will come to our rescue. Let’s keep our faith in the unfailing love of God. God Bless!

    What ever situation we find ourselves, we should always be grateful and hopeful since almighty Allah is always at the point of need for us. Allah Sub-ana-Wataallah said if he could remove vale from our face so that we can see why HE did what HE has done, we will always be greatful. AL-HAMDU-LILLAH

    God has His own way of getting into the thought of people and relieving them of their problems.Often time what you think is a problem, may in fact be he tsolution to a bigger problem.
    This story resembles that of Daniel Defoe’s, Robinson Crusoe. in which after a shipwreck, evry body dies leaving a man alone on an island.
    Very good story.

Thank you again for restoring my trust in God despite the difficulties I have now. Excellent job, please carry on.

    Great Story. Everything happens for better tomorrow. Its people who never understand the better things behind it. Even when we give up something tired trying, because we never know, we are only one step behind to the success.
