*“BROKEN BOAT”*

     
_On some Fridays, you breeze through surah kahf. It doesn’t seem to relate. You read it and vaguely remember the stories. You get the big picture, and just like that, you move on. It’s Friday after all. You have plans after work, or are excited for the weekend._

_*But there will be Fridays where you need Kahf. Because it will hit you.*_

⚡ There is a part in Surah Kahf where Khidr is destroying a boat. Damaging it. Breaking it apart.

★ And this boat belongs to a group of poor individuals. People who are just getting by and need this boat for their livelihood, to fish and to travel, perhaps even to live in it.

Musa (A.S) asks Khidr – why? How on earth does that make sense?⁉️

_Imagine that you are that poor person, with a boat. And it is destroyed. And you wonder to Allah – why?_

_I am in need of this promotion, this grade, this job, this home, this spouse. I am in need of this dua being answered – and I do not have a silver spoon. How can you destroy my boat Allah? MY BOAT._

_Why not destroy the boats of the ungrateful, the boats of those out drinking and partying and not once caring about your existence ya Allah._

_Why did you destroy my boat, my weak little boat, that carried my dreams. Why is it shattered⁉️_

_Did I not take care of it enough? Did I not worship you enough? Did I not wake up for fajr? Did I not do my fasts?_⁉️

🌟 But the story is that there was an evil King coming – and if the boat was intact, the King would take the boat from these poor people and the people will not have a means of sustenance anymore.

⚡ But a broken boat – Allah knows that the poor people can fix and once again be okay, and the King would not be interested.

_*So your boat broke, but Allah knows He will help you fix it. He will help you find a way.*_

✨ But He knows a bigger picture, and something bigger He is protecting you from.

★ It doesn’t make sense to you right now. You cannot see the evil King, you cannot see what Allah protected you from.

★ All you can see is your hard work in front of you – broken.

★ All you can see is the effort it will take to move forward, to move on from this calamity.

_*Look beyond the destroyed boat.*_

_*Remember that you did make dua, that you did put in effort, and that you are loved by Allah and just as a child does not understand why his mother won’t let him have the sugary drink at 6AM – Allah loves you more than that mother.*_

✨Allah loves, and Allah knows.
Try fixing the boat, or look another way — for another door.
You are capable of passing the broken boat test. ✨

_You have the sabr: the patience is within you. Allah wouldn’t put you through it if you weren’t capable._
