You Are Never Alone. A True Story
A
teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit some friends one evening and
time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past
year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home
alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a
few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane
asked Allah to keep her safe from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she
decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man
standing at the end as though he was waiting for her. She became uneasy
and began to pray, asking for Allah's protection. Instantly a comforting
feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though
someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley,
she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following
day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the
same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling
overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her,
she began to weep. Thanking Allah for her safety and to help this young
woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could
recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if
she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify
him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the
alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he
immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her
bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She
asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to
why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered,
"Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side
of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone.
