A Freak Incident That Happened Recently: A message From A Friend

A young man and his 4 year old son went to a petrol bunk near Lal bagh (Bangalore) to fill in petrol for his bike. The boy was sitting on the pillion behind him.

The attendant who fills petrol held the petrol gun upwards, and turned towards the meter to re-set the meter. As soon as the setting was done the petrol came out gushing out of the gun - due to some malfunction - (at least that's what they said) in full speed and splashed all over the 4 year old boy and his father.

Petrol entered the eyes of the boy. Immediately the boy was taken into the cleaning area and was showered in a water jet. They washed his eyes with lot of water. But the boy could not see anything.

The young man took the child to the hospital and immediately the hospital authorities put him in ICU. The kid was then transferred to Vittala Netralaya and after 2 days of treatment he got some vision again. Now he is all right and is at home. The doctors told that just because the water cleaning was done immediately, he has vision today otherwise the boy would have been blind by now. Petrol (along with impurities) can burn the tissues inside the eye.

This post is an advice and please, take some precautions next time you are at a petrol bunk.

 1. If the engine was in running condition, this could have caused a major Fire. So Switch off the engine in bunks.

2. Drop small kids and the person sitting behind you outside the bunk and fill in petrol. Kids are more sensitive than grown-ups.

3. Ask the petrol bunk helper boy to hold the gun down. Even if there is such an accident let the petrol flow down and not on your face.

4. Share this post to everyone and make them aware.

We Trust More on Our Brains and Less in God – Isn’t funny?

How many of us agree with my views “We Trust More on Our Brains and Less in God”. It may be a controversial view, but it is the fact. In many happier times or situations of our hard times, rather than leaving the problem and praying for God’s help, we go with our temptations and land in more problems creating to trouble for us and for others. This is my personal view, if anyone has a better explanation or advice, it will be of great help to me.

To justify my view, think of this scenario: In a remote forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth to a baby. It finds a remote grass field near by a river and slowly goes there thinking it would be safe. As she moves slowly, she gets labor pain…. at the same moment, dark clouds gather around that area and lightning starts a forest fire.  Turning left she sees a hunter who is aiming an arrow from a distance. As she tries to move towards right, she spots a hungry lion approaching towards her.

What can the pregnant deer do ….as she is already under labor pain?

What do you think will happen?

Will the deer survive?

Will it give birth to a calf?

Will the calf survive? or

Will everything be burnt by the forest fire?

That particular moment?

Can the deer go left? – Hunter’s arrow is pointing

Can she go right? – Hungry male lion approaching

Can she move up? – Forest fire

Can she move down?  – Wildly flowing water in the river

Answer:  She does nothing. She just focuses on giving birth to a new LIFE.

The sequence of events that happens at that fraction of a second (moment) is as follows:

In a spur of MOMENT, a lightning strikes as it is already it is cloudy and blinds the eyes of the Hunter. At that same MOMENT, he releases the arrow missing and zipping past the deer. At that same MOMENT the arrow hits and injures the lion badly. At that same MOMENT, it starts to rain heavily and puts out the forest fire. At that next MOMENT, the deer gives birth to a healthy calf.

I assume, if the heart and mind overpowers a person, he / she will think that they are alone and the only one to decide for a solution. Just, I would say, above all of us is God, who takes care of all. I will say, have faith in God and work with peace of mind to solve the problem; definitely God’s help will come for sure.

Muslim Women, Business and Islamic Way Of Life

Do Muslim women are allowed to do business independently? What will be the views? To me, I know many muslima are doing business independently but, with the consent of her husband or father. What will be the case, if woman is alone with no father, brother or husband?

I came across this touching photograph in which a muslima sister in purda doing business by selling something on the road side footpath. I’m not clear the exact location or place where and what she is selling by all alone, I feel great to share that she is abiding with Islamic custom and also reciting the holy Quran in her spare time. Million salute to you sister, may Allah bless you and your family with rewards in Duniya and Akhira! Aameen.
