Travel through the desert

A scientist went on a journey through the desert of Sahara. He was accompanied by several Muslim Bedouin guides to not be lost in the middle of the desert.

Every night, the Bedouin who attended him, laid a rug on the sand and began to pray to Allah/ God.  

One evening, the researcher asks:
- What do you do, why you put your face on the sand?
- We pray to Almighty Allah (God).
- But did you ever met Him?  Did you spoke with Him? you have achieved Him?
- No.
- Then that is silly to pray to someone who you do not know!

 
The next morning, the scientist noticed some footprints in the sand. After making some research, he told the Bedouins accompanying him: 

 

- There has been a camel passing!
- Have you seen it? Have you heard? You put your hand on it? asked him the Bedouins.
- No, but left some traces and or sure it was a camel.
- And we too we see an oasis and we are happy to find it in our way because we drink water and we cool ourselves from the heat of the desert. We are happy when in our way we find one tree that we can rest under its shadow. We are glad when the sun rises and begins a new day. All these are tracks left by Allah, the Almighty.

Blessed are those who believe without seeing Him with their own eyes. Allah leaves us new signs every day, and we must learn to recognize and enjoy them when they come in our way.
