A ship loaded with goods was on its way when due to strong winds it capsized. The ship was about to sink, the merchants in it said that they take some goods to sea to lighten the load. The merchants consulted and decided that whoever had the most goods would throw away. Most of the ship’s load belonged to a single trader. He objected why only my stuff? They throw away a little of everyone’s wealth.
They forcibly threw this new merchant into the sea along with the goods. The glory of nature that the waves of the sea began to play with him. Convinced of his death, when he regains consciousness, he finds that the waves have washed him ashore. It was an uninhabited island. He thanked the Lord for saving his life. Recover your breath. He collected the wood lying there and built a hut to hide his head. The next day he also saw some rabbits. Lived by hunting them.
One day, while he was cooking, his hut caught fire. He tried hard, but could not control the fire. All of his remaining belongings were consumed by the fire. Overwhelmed by loss, he fell to his knees and shouted at the heavens, “Why, God? Why did you let this happen to me? You threw me in the sea. All my belongings were drowned. Now this hut was my total universe, it was also burnt to ashes. What do I do now?” After doubting this, he slept on an empty stomach. When he woke up in the morning, it was a strange scene. Saw that a boat was anchored on the shore and the sailors had come to pick it up.
He asked the sailors how did you know about me? The businessman was surprised by the answer he gave. The sailors said that we knew that this island was uninhabited, but when we saw smoke rising from a distance, we thought that maybe someone was trapped here, who should be rescued. That’s why we came to you. Then the merchant told his whole story, and the sailors surprised him further by saying that the ship from which you were thrown into the sea went ahead and sank. Hearing this, the merchant prostrated himself, thanked the Lord and said, “Praise be to the One who threw me into the sea by the hands of the merchants to save me.” Indeed, He is the most knowledgeable about His servants.
Moral : No matter how hard things get, don’t lose hope. Trust in the mercy of the universe and rely on it in every situation
