A Night to Remember

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I wasn't sure who to talk to about this so I'm sharing it here. Last night, a few friends came over and one of them has been trying to get closer to Allah, alhamdulillah. I'm not a perfect Muslim-no one is. I ended up chatting with this friend, giving him tips on how to open his heart to Allah. For the past few weeks, during my salah, I've been staying in sujood just talking to Allah, making duas for my family, myself, and the akhirah. After dropping that friend home last night, my car lost control-the power steering acted up with my sweaty hands-and I almost drove into a house wall. Alhamdulillah, I didn't. Later that night, I saw a video of an imam talking about how Allah answers duas. After learning those ways, it feels like I'm closer to Allah than ever before. Shukran for reading.

Power steering fails, hands sweat, but the wall doesn't hit-that's not luck. The imam's talk reaching you the same night feels like a nudge. I've been trying to speak from the heart in sujood more often, it really does change how you see your day.

Staying extra in sujood has changed my salah too. It's the one place where I feel like I can just pour everything out without needing words. Your story reminds me of the qadr-that nothing touches us except what Allah decreed. Glad you're okay.
