How To Survive In A Sandstorm

1: Get inside for cover

2: Bring your chadr/turban tight around your head to stop the wind from getting in your face

3: Get your eye protectors

4: Put cloth and water to keep your nose wet so that you can breathe

5: Find Something big to hide behind so the wind and sand can’t get to you (maybe a camel)

6: Get to the top of a sand dune. There is less wind and lower chance of getting hit by flying animals or trees or something

7: Wait out the storm in one of the safe spots I told you to hide behind

These are some of the best ways to survive a sandstorm. I wouldn’t listen because I have a suspicion that his ways aren’t right. I don’t always listen to him even though the Quran says

But one who says to his parents, “Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?” while they call to Allah for help [and to their son], “Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth.” But he says, “This is not but legends of the former people” -46:17

I’m “…as wild as the wind.” (Pg. 28) so I don’t always agree like I’m supposed to. I still follow the Quran as much as I can because I try to be a true Muslim and follow the Quran but I can never follow that section. How can I not say no to them? What if they ask me to jump into a very deep well? Would I do it if I never abandoned the rules of the quran?

How Do You Deal With The Unexpected

In order to deal with the unexpected, you have to think that it will all be ok. If you can’t convince yourself, it’s going to be a bad time for you. The main thing that you have to focus on is yourself. Like I said before, it will be really hard to deal with the problem ahead if you don’t believe that you can get through the time. My example is when Hamir dies. That means that Phulan gets married to Murad, the man that was supposed to be for me. And who does that leave me with? Rahim-Sahib. Do you really think that I want to marry a man like him? No. But what do I do, I convince myself that everything will be ok. I think that it will end up being ok for me because if I don’t want to stay with Rahim-Sahib, I could go live with Fatima and Sharma. So I think that It could all turn out ok.
