Alhamdulillah - A Strange Feeling Led Me to Save a Life, Need Islamic Insight

Salam, a bit of context first. We recently moved to a new city and my elderly aunt who had a stroke some years ago and is mostly immobile lives with her husband, who is also old and unwell. I care for them both, but I usually don't stop by much because my aunt tends to keep me there and makes me stay even if I have school or plans with friends. This morning I woke up with a very odd sense - the first thought in my head was “Something bad is going to happen today.” I actually FELT it. On my way home from school I passed by their house and that same strange feeling hit me again, like Allah or an angel was nudging me to go see them. When I got home, my mom prepared some food and asked me to take it to them, which is unusual since another aunt normally does that. For some reason both my mom and I were pushed to visit, even though we hardly ever do. When I delivered the meals and groceries I found her husband on the floor with a bad head wound and a large pool of blood. He had slipped and hit his head hard and was losing a lot of blood. My aunt couldn’t help much since she can’t move easily. I called emergency services and an ambulance came - I truly believe that arriving at that exact moment is what saved his life. If I hadn’t been there, my aunt wouldn’t have been able to get him help. All day I’d had the sense that something bad would happen, and I kept feeling this force pulling me toward them. In the end that feeling led me to save the life of someone I consider like a father. Is there an Islamic explanation for what happened? I’d really appreciate any guidance or thoughts. JazakAllah khair for your help.

Honestly gives me chills. Been there where a weird gut pulled me somewhere and it saved someone. Islamically, I'd call it a nudge from Allah or an angel. Don’t underestimate these moments, keep thanking Allah.

MashAllah, subhanAllah - that's powerful. Sounds like a sincere fitrah/angelic nudge, maybe a blessing for being dutiful to relatives. Keep making dua for his recovery, and consider giving charity on his behalf. May Allah reward you, brother.

Bro, that's amazing and scary at once. Sounds like a divinely timed detour. Keep doing good for them and maybe ask an imam about dua for healing and protection. May Allah grant shifa.

I’d tell you it’s qalb sensing something beyond the physical, maybe an angelic prompt. Also practical: stay close, teach family basic first aid. May Allah reward your quick action, truly inspiring.

That feeling = barakah, I’d say. Allah puts hidayah in small things. Maybe it was a test too, and you passed. Pray istikhara? Or just keep supplicating and reading Quran around them.

Wow, same happened to my uncle once. Trust your gut and thanks for being there. Could be qadr and a sign to be more present with family. Make lots of dua and recite ayat al‑kursi for protection.

Alhamdulillah you were there. Could be destiny + mercy. Islam teaches that sometimes angels inspire believers. Keep making dua, give charity, and visit often - both of them need you. May he recover fully.

Alhamdulillah you were guided. I think angels or tawfiq from Allah nudged you. Keep visiting them, it’s a huge sadaqah jariyah for you. May he heal quickly, keep us updated bro.
