Assalamu alaykom, as the title says, yesterday i prayed tahajjud for the first time after a month and then went to pray fajr in mosque which is something i never did outside of ramadan.
That same day in the evening i got into an accident where i hit my head so hard that i got a minor head injury where i had a bleeding and had to go to the hospital and shave my hair.
My parents kept telling how it could be that this accident was prolly a mercy from allah to prevent something that wouldve happened that was gonna be even worse bc of the acts of ebadah i did but allahu aalam.
Thats why im turning to ask u guys abt this weird situation and if yall think there couldve been a correlation or it just was meant to happen anyways, ty for ur time and may allah protect us all❤️
All the hardships you endure act as an expiation for your sins.
We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure— 2:155
The Prophet said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."
The accident could have been worse. You may have had a worse thing diverted from you because of a dua that was made:
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allah, without sin or cutting family ties, but that Allah will give him one of three answers: He will quickly fulfill his supplication, He will store it for him in the Hereafter, or He will divert an evil from him similar to it.” They said, “In that case we will ask for more.” The Prophet said, “Allah has even more.”
Allah knows best.
May Allah forgive us all and make our hardships a means to find jannah and closeness to Allah. Ameen.
