Do you know that you could have been right now in a nightclub somewhere, smoking something illegal. You could have been right now in a war zone, committing crimes. You could be right now in prison.
What brought you here to this masjid at this time to hear this reminder? It wasn't you. It wasn't your parents. It was Allah who brought you here.
This is what Allah said to Musa عليه السلام. After 40 years of Musa عليه السلام seeing killing, murder, genocide, running away to another country, exile, loneliness, and all of this. And then Allah reveals to him the first revelation.
What does Allah say? You came here to this point because I brought you here. I brought you here. You didn't come here out of your own strength, your own intelligence.
You don't deserve to be here. Allah is doing you a favor.
