Coincidence!
Yesterday, I was sitting all confused, a bit frightened too, not too willing to trust people because of the few people I have come across and who turned out to be completely different from what they seemed to be or what they claimed to be. One thought that was circling around inside my mind was "Whom to trust and whom not to?", "Who is true and who’s not? ", "Shall I forgive those who turn out to be liars/hypocrites?" and it was then that I sat down to get my daily dose of Quranic verses and amazingly enough I got my hands on this verse:
Show forgiveness, enjoin Al-’Urf (the good), and turn away from the foolish (don’t punish them). ) (200. And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaytan, then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.)
(Surah Al-Araf Ayat No. 199) (Web Reference: Tafsir.com)
(Tafsir can be found here)
SubhanAlllah…what a co-incidence…i said to myself but just then i recalled what I had read in the book "Your Sacred Quest" by Wayne Dyer just a few days back; that we live in God’s intelligent system where there’s intelligence behind whatever happens.So true! Once you accept this, you’ll enjoy experiencing co-incidences as with this new perception, you’ll get to see the intelligence behind them as well 
Undoubtedly, He(SWT) is GREAT!
Hmm, also check ‘qTafsir.com’

I thought there was no such thing as a ‘co-incidence’ in this intelligent system. Would you agree?

@Em
Thanks a lot..qtafsir seems to be a lot more user friendly
@Dinky Mind
Beshak!
@Raza
Yup, I do …co-incidence is in reality an already planned event that life has in store for us but whatever turns out to be unlikely and sudden according to our intelligence is what we tend to call a *co-incidence*
@Yesterdaywasbetter
Welcome to my blog
. Be cautious but don’t completely stop trusting/believing people…everyone needs to trust/believe someone at some point in time because we as humans are inter-connected and cannot really survive in isolation.
May Allah(SWT) make things easier for u.

Welcome to my blog Faisal. I’d slightly disagree with u..it’s not trust rather blind trust that often leads to betrayal
