I just got into a very bad car accident.

Hello everyone,

I am a 20 year old boy from America. I am atheist, but I just started listening to Sufi music. I can speak Hindi and Urdu and I really love to sit and think about the songs I listen to.

I just got in the accident a couple hours ago. I was listening to a Sufi song and the singer said “mere liye bas Allah hi kafi hai.” This translates roughly to “for me, for me, Allah (god) is enough, he is enough...”.

The crash happened instantly after that. I opened my eyes and the car was full of smoke, the air bags were out and the other car was at the other side of the road.

I remember thinking if I died, I clearly didn’t. I remember being angry at God, how could he let that happen to me? Wasn’t he supposed to protect me?

Anyways, fast forward a couple hours, I am sitting in bed. I am thankful to a God if one exists. He saved my life. Right when I was pulled out of my car, a Jewish man came up and hugged me, he told me it was all going to be okay. He said something like “grace of God” or “praise God”.

I remember I felt so vulnerable that I started to pray subconsciously.

Anyways, now that I’m sitting and thinking about it, I only felt close to God when something this tragic happened. And, maybe I should have a little more faith in a higher power. Maybe God/Allah saved me. Maybe it was a wake up call. Maybe it was God’s way of telling me that I have a life to live and I shouldn’t waste it.

Anyway, I’m very emotional right now. I always looked down at religious people but that Jewish man and the Sufi song got me through this today and kept me from completely losing it. No matter what anyone says about religion, one thing is for certain. You people understand that life is suffering. You people care and love for strangers. You people go out of your way to help and be generous. And for that, I am grateful.

Thank you and thank you to God. I hope he gives you what you deserve and to that Jewish man, I love you and you saved me from a horrible day.

PS: Please forgive me if I offended you, this was a life changing moment for me. Please look past religious views and see my humanity.

Thank you!
