Drifted at sea

Tokki was a very hard-working man. He was once a fisherman. He did hatever work he could do to earn an honest living to take care of his family.

During one of the monsoon seasons, he and his boat-mates still went out to sea. As usual Tok would wait for him the next day to welcome him home and help with the days catch. She and others waited for hours but the boat could not be seen. Hours passed, everyone knew that they must have been caught in a monsoon storm. I could not imagine how Tok had felt.

The kampung people started a search party and Tokki was found 2 days later, beached some 5km away. He could not really recalled what happened. He said he drifted at sea with no food to eat. Tok was really glad that Tokki was safe and sound.



اللَّهُ الَّذِي سخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ فِيهِ بِأَمْرِهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

It is Allah Who has subjected the sea to you, that ships may sail through it by His command, that ye may seek of his Bounty, and that ye may be grateful. (Al-Jathiya:12)
