Sad reality

Brothers risking it all at sea, may Allah grant them ease and rizq from halal means. We should be more aware.

May Allah protect them. We often forget the sacrifices of these men, leaving families behind just so we can have our goods. So sad.

This hit hard. I have a cousin who's a sailor. Always worried about him. Ya Allah protect all sailors.

It's a real test of tawakkul. Leaving family for months on rough seas. May Allah accept their struggles as ibadah.
