this is my first time on this website fellow brothers and sisters, i have joined becasue of a near death experience and i would like to know its meaning from an islamic point of view.
basically i lost my faith in islam, i had gone to mosque from an easly age arround about six years old, i was taught the quran and learnt ummah sipara by heart, my molvi saabs had not given me islamic guidence, the meaning of islaam, etc etc, iw as taught to read and thats all. i was hit on many occasions. i left mosque at age 14, i only ever went to moasque to read jumma after that and that was once in ages,
i had never read the quran again in 4 years (i am 18 now) i did not keep my rozay, i did not read tarawih, i began to doubt islam. this was mainly becuase o family problems and i was under an enourmous amount of stress, this ramzan i had not kept the first roza, i didn not read or go to the mosque on shabe barat,
then this tuesday i was driving my car out of the college and managed to have an accident, quite a major one, the car is written off, the accident was very severe, but noone in the car was injured in the slightest. which i was amazed at. the police said i could have easily died in the accident and that i was lucky to be alive let alone unharmed. (no whiplash, cuts, bruises etc) last night i began to wonder why did i survive the accidnt, why as i not hurt.
i do belive it was down to allah. i have no other explanation.
please could some brother or sister guide me towards the meaning of this and how i could become a better muslim as i feel this incidnt has brought me some faith and i wish to build upon that
thank you
