Yesterday I had a near disaster at my house. My 2nd room on the top floor nearly was flooded because it rained really heavily yesterday for about 30 minutes. The water came in from my balcony as the drain hole was covered by leaves, so it slowed the flow of the water into the hole. Luckily there is an attached toilet and all I had to do was 'wipe' the water using that rubber 'wiping' thingy into the bathroom.
What I consider to be even more lucky was that I happened to go home to get my clothes of the drying rack when this happened. I originally wanted to go home earlier before it began to rain. Instead I stayed in my office after Friday prayer to do some work and then it started to rain there. I immediately jump into my car thinking that it had not rained yet at my place. But actually it had started to rain there earlier (the time to get to my house from my office is just 10 minutes). On the way I thought maybe I should turn back to the office as I thought my clothes were already wet so why bother. However, I just drove on to my house.
Despite me being a 'not so good Muslim' aka a 'sinner' Allah made me continue driving on to my house. If I had turned back the water would have definitely gone into the other rooms and eventually down the stairs and into the living room. The aftermath would be worse and the cleaning up would just be tremendous. All I could do was just laugh after the incident.
