Does He know?
…Jaane Khuda, Na jaane Khuda, Yeh jo hua kya jaane Khuda..
This is a line from the title song of Kabul Express (Kabul Fiza). I don’t know what exactly the lyricist means by this line, I mean the in-depth meaning and all. The depth of my thoughts probably does not reach there. But what I got is that probably he is in a doubt whether the Almighty is oblivious to a particular incident. Quite possible right? I mean when you have such a large population to take care of (assuming life exists only on earth ) there is a tiny-miny possibility of something being overlooked by Him. Funnny thought, right? Well what happens in that case? This song in general is optimistic. So we will assume this incident is not good.
I will come to the point (enough of lengthening the article). What i mean is probably some of the bad things that happen to us might actually not be in His plan. It might be mistakes. Okay, I know this theory is crap but what is the harm in assuming? Its one pacifying answer for the million dollar question “Why me?” that people ask themselves when something really bad happens. Funny how people don’t ask this when something unexpectedly good happens. I have no such messed up matters but I know a handful of people who would like to ask this question to God.
Take for instance a mother who just lost youngest of her children of age 46. She herself has been praying to Him to call her for some time, because she thinks she has lived her life to the full. Mr. God I don’t know if this was your plan or it was your mistake but You better have a proper answer ready because she is going to ask this to You when she comes there.
I have heard troubles are His way of teaching you life’s lessons. Let’s hope this is true. On this positive note let’s start this year wishing it will be Happy and Prosperous New Year for all of us.
