That cold night on my way to Taif was difficult when that camel appeared to me like a mirage, gradually approaching, I had no idea that it was carrying that newborn girl on its back. I realized then that I had two choices, one was what I had drawn for myself, and the other was what fate had brought me. The journey was one of enduring hardships, and that trust that I had not taken into account before that night (Musab). We think that we are the ones who draw our paths and routes in this life, but the reality is that we are the ones who choose them, and how difficult it is for a person to be placed between paths that fate has drawn for him and deprived him of the right to choose between them (Sawda). Opportunities didn't come knocking on our doors, but when fate smiled on us and opportunities knocked on our windows and doors, we didn't prevent our opportunistic instinct from seizing them and turning them to our advantage, even if they came knocking on our windows and doors by mistake (Safiya).
