Spared

"At approximately 1750 hrs, on 14th of December 2010, yet another Company staff had fallen victim to snatch thieves. The victim was on her way to the open car park behind The Restaurant and had just walked crossed The Street, .. , when a motorcyclist rode pass her and snatched her handbag. The victim was caught by surprise as that stretch of the street is a One-Way road. The snatch thief rode his motorcycle against the flow of traffic to snatch the victim's bag. Fortunately, apart from bruises on her arm, the victim did not sustain any other injury." (Security Alert Memo, Dec 15, 2010)

Yesterday I signed out at 5:45pm and was already walking out of the gate when I saw the shuttle (provided by the company) and immediately got on board.

It could have been me walking on that very spot at that time. That's scary. I usually take the shuttle only when it coincides with my leaving the office building, and yesterday was one of those rare days.

Alhamdulillah, Allah spared me.
Oh Allah The Protector, The Most Merciful, The Most Powerful.. I seek Your Protection against oppressive conducts of Your Creations.
May Allah protect me and my dearest family and friends and all of us.. Amin!
