Musings

I cut my finger on a can of sweetcorn whilst making an omelette, about half an hour ago. I almost fainted! It’s amazing.

We think we are supreme, we think we own this small planet and yet the truth is we are so weak. You can laugh at me for admitting to the fact that I get pretty quezy with blood, or you can see the point i’m trying to make. When something happens all of a sudden we go from the strongest most ‘self-reliant’ beings to these hopeless people crying out for protection.

This may mean nothing to you, often it takes an accident, illness or just being a witness to something before you find faith you never even realised was there. I don’t need a philosophical argument or a mountain of evidence to see that I am nothing without He who created me. Instead though, our recovery is our cue to forget.

As God says in the Qur’an (S96 A6-8)

No! Verily, man does transgress all bounds.

Because he considers himself self-sufficient.

Surely! Unto your Lord is the return.

Yep, cutting my finger triggered that. :)
