I’m going through a period where a lot of synchronistic events are happening to me.  See the last blog post about this here.  This week I had another synchronistic thing happen to me.  For the last few days Surah Al-Sharh has been on my mind ( ألم نشرح لك صدرك).  Specifically the Ayah (فإن مع العسر يسرا).  I wasn’t sure if it was “ma’” or “ba’d” al-’usr.

So I’m walking in the mall the other day with my wife and kids.  It was getting late and I hadn’t prayed the afternoon prayer yet, so I left them and went to the mosque in the mall.  I prayed the afternoon prayer and decided to wait another 12 minutes for the sunset prayer.

While waiting I picked up a mushaf (Holy Quran) and opened it.  It opened exactly on Surah Al-Sharh!  Whoa! I thought (If you know the surah you’ll know it’s “ma’ al-’usr”).  How synchronistic!

Then later, when the prayer started the imam read Surah Al-Fatiha  – followed by Surah  Al-Sharh!  Is that cool or what?

I love living in a synchronistic universe!
