Allah's mercy

We were having iftar at one of ummi's friends house the other day, and we ( family and other guests ) were walking to the masjid for I'sha and tarawih ( that's the extra salah in Ramadan after I'sha ). Us boys were behind the family, and as we were chatting along the sounds of a car approaching grew very suddenly louder and louder. Barely did we have time to look behind then dash to the pavement and a maniacal GMC thundered past. At the same moment I looked ahead, and there was Nusaibah walking peacefully near the middle of the road. I swear I didn't even have time to scream. The GMC sped towards her, she looked back suddenly and ran into its path, then realising she wouldn't make it across, ran back out of its path. It was very near, very very near. Alhamdulillah, and Allah does these things for a purpose which we may or may not realise. Maybe to bring us back to him, and to show us his power and mercy.
