24 Aug Reflections from Surah AlKahf
One of my teachers used to say, “Do not allow what is outside your control to stop you from doing what is within your control,”
The people of the cave personify this lesson. These were a small group of seven believers in a town that wanted to harm them.
Not many options were available for them, but they focused on the few options they did have. They did have the choice to believe, so they did. They did have the option to leave town, so they went to the cave. And they have the power of dua, so they invested in it and were saved through a miracle.
The lesson: Don’t focus on what you can’t do, focus on what you can do. Allah will take care of the rest.
