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.
