How Farlan And Muftiah... Are Miraculously Saved... By An Angel Of God... From The Humongous Devastation... Of Hurricane Frederick... Which Destroys... Their Brand New... Mobile Home...!

There is an interesting story to tell... about the reason... why Farlan and Muftiah... moved down to Florida... so soon after arriving... in Grand Bay... Alabama... from Denver... Colorado... with the intention to stay...!

Years ago... when the devastating hurricane Frederick... was about to hit the Gulf Coast... Farlan and Muftiah... following her near fatal car accident... had recently arrived in Grand Bay... Alabama... from Denver... to live... because of his aging father... Wilbur... begging him to come back... to his childhood home... wanting to Experience... the Miracle... of the Latihan Kejiwaan... with his son... who had brought him into SUBUD... once again... before he died...!

And Muftiah duly met Farlan's charismatic father... and Farlan's adorable stepmother... Mabel... for the very first time... soon becoming a channel... to Gloriously "Open..."... and "Awaken..."... her Inner Self... so that she could Receive Contact... with The Great Holy Life Force... of her Creator... Almighty God... because she instinctively loved... and trusted... her daughter-in-law... as soon as they met each other...!

And they would regularly... Blissfully... surrender themselves... to their Creator... together... in the quiet of the night... in the Latihan Kejiwaan of SUBUD... Mabel... the Christian... and Muftiah... the Muslim... in Farlan's newly purchased... already fully furnished... charming... double wide... mobile home... with its large bay windows...!

And Muslim Farlan... would also... once again... regularly worship his Creator... with his Christian father... Wilbur... in the Latihan Kejiwaan of SUBUD...!

One day... about a month later... on a lovely... balmy sunny day... in the autumn... of early September... while visiting Farlan's lovely sister... Mae Carol... and her bantam rooster... of a husband... Sam... in the afternoon... sitting in the spacious living room... of their elegant... two storey... ante-bellum mansion... right next door... Muftiah happened to notice... a huge... swirling... white round sphere... in the middle... of the entrance... to the Gulf Coast... looming on the silent TV screen... in front of her...!

And when she... never having seen such an ominous sight before... in her life... and becoming quite alarmed... commented about it... to them... Mae Carol... and Sam... both annoyed... that she had interrupted their exclusive conversation... with Farlan... whom they hadn't seen... in years... laughed at her... chiding... between them...:

What... that puny looking... nothing of a ball... on the screen...?

That's nothing... compared to Hurricane Camille... now that was a hurricane...!

And Muftiah became quite embarrassed... for having brought the approaching... sinister-looking... swirling white mass... to their attention...!

And she decided to put her mounting fears... behind her... trusting her in-laws... for after all... they were both long time residents... of the Gulf Coast...

But later on... that very night... an Angel of God... Suddenly Appeared to Muftiah... while she was dreaming... a very pleasant dream... Telling her... That She Was To Leave The Area... of Grand Bay... On The Ninth... And Abruptly Departing... Without Explaining... The Reason Why...!

Muftiah... also as Grazia... and Nadia... and Laura... had already experienced... many fascinating Angel Dreams... where The Angels of God... Would either Appear... to Reveal Some Spiritual Truths to her... and Give her important Guidance... or Jump into a pleasant dream... she was having... to give her an important Message from God... but she had never had one... where a specific date... Was Mentioned...!

And so... the following morning... waking up trembling... and nervous... dreading to tell her husband... about her Warning Angel Dream... she asked Allah Almighty God... for His Help... during her usual... daily Latihan Shower... which began for her... on her very first morning... back in the USA... in her tenth year in SUBUD...!

And her Perfect Guidance... Was... that she should approach her husband... "Directly..."... "Honestly..." ... and... "With Quiet Sincerity..."

Her uniquely different husband... who... with his proud... Red Indian Cherokee blood... flowing in his veins... hated to be told what to do... by anybody... and especially not... by his wife...!

Trembling with fear... and trepidation... because she already knew... that her husband and Sam... who owned a thriving... successful plumbing business... which vocation... Farlan had Received... for him to pursue... years ago... after he got out of the army... would be seriously discussing... a forthcoming business venture... together...

Just as she tentatively walked... into the spacious living room... of Sam's mansion... white-faced... trying to gather up her courage... to tell Farlan... about her Warning Angel Dream... he... looking up and noticing her... Received...:

"Trust Muftiah...!"

Very nervous... at the tall... noble sight of him... but remembering her Perfect Guidance... in her Latihan Shower... she cleared her throat... as the two macho men... with their equally strong personalities... looked up at her... with Sam annoyed... at the sudden intrusion... of this lowly female... even though she towered way above him... at six foot two...

And looking "Directly..." ... down at her seated husband... Farlan... she "Honestly..." ... and "With Quiet Sincerity..." ... told him about her Warning Angel Dream... of that night...

Whereupon Farlan... to her great relief... and delight... immediately stood up... and quietly told a spluttering... outraged... bantam rooster Sam... that they would be leaving Grand Bay... on the Ninth...!

And he walked towards his wife... smiling... looking magnificently... ten feet tall... as Sam ranted and raved... behind him... jeering at him... for being at the beck and call... of a mere woman... tied to her apron strings... and letting her dictate... his life to him... never mind that she was so unusually tall...!

So Farlan and Muftiah... heeding the Angel of God's Warning... and with the understanding Blessing... of Wilbur and Mabel... left Grand Bay... two days later... on September 9th... in their "Another Great Adventure"... school bus... which Farlan had bought... from a Senior Citizen's Club... in Denver... cleverly taking out the seats... and converting it... into a cozy RV... for them... with Mae Carol very upset... that they would be missing... her birthday party... coming up... on the 13th...!

A calmer Sam... who flatly refused to believe... in Muftiah's Warning Angel Dream... simply because... she Was Not Told... the Reason Why... she was to leave Grand Bay... on the 9th... bought their mobile home... and their brand new... side by side refrigerator... from them... paying the same price... they had paid... for their fully furnished... mobile home... for his newly married... young daughter... Susie... and her husband...

And now safe... living way down in Tampa... Florida... Farlan and Muftiah heard... from Mae Carol... about four months later... how Hurricane Frederick... in its gigantic... terrible onslaught... devastatingly struck the Gulf Coast... eight days later... on the 17th... Roaring in... right at Grand Bay...!

And how its howling... 175 mile an hour high winds... caused a gigantic... uprooted oak tree... to fall on top... right in the middle... of their brand new... double wide... mobile home... splitting it in two...! Fortunately... her daughter Susie... and her husband... were not in the mobile home... at the time... but were staying with them... in their mansion...

And another arboreal colossus... fell over... and gouged out a huge hole... in the roof... of Sam and Mae Carol's elegant... two storey... ante-bellum mansion... which two hurricane onslaughts... seeming to be deliberately... directed at Sam... unnerved... the strong-willed... bantam rooster... man.. so much... that he astonished everybody... by suffering a serious... nervous breakdown...!

Farlan and Muftiah's temporary home... at that time... was sitting on these very three acres of land... now called "Little Cilandak..." ... that Farlan... some thirteen years later... would inherit... from his father...!

And where... some five years later... when Almighty Allah... Suddenly Commanded... that they no longer sleep... under the same roof together... Farlan would be moving out... and living alone... back in his old... childhood home... made of wood... and his wife in name only... Muftiah... would remain... in the more modern... brick house... that Wilbur and Mabel... had preferred to live in...!

And they heard... how Hurricane Frederick... in its gigantic onslaught... left the Gulf Coast residents... without electricity... and water... for months on end... with food quickly... in very short supply...!

So it became very clear... to Farlan and Muftiah... that the Angel of God... Had probably Saved their lives... and that it was not the Will Of Almighty Allah... that they suffer... the terrible havoc... caused by the colossal... Hurricane Frederick...!

In subsequent Chapters... gleaned from the Table of Contents... of this book... you can read all about Farlan and Muftiah's unique experiences... with hurricanes... down here on the Gulf Coast... always Receiving Perfect Guidance... about them... whether to stay... or whether to evacuate...!

And even with Muftiah... Being Guided... by An Angel of God... And Shown By Him... How To Divert... The Terrible Hurricane... Katrina... Which Looked So Harmless... And Which Was Going To Come Roaring In Again... Right At Grand Bay...!

And how they never really suffered... with the deprivation... of electricity and food... because Farlan... being an Electrical Contractor... very cleverly... provided adequate lighting for them...

And as far as food was concerned... they simply dipped... into their gigantic Y2K food reserve... which Farlan had Received... to stock up on... about two years... before Y2K... was a threat...!

And Farlan's two generators... provided them... with what they needed... to run their refrigerators... and cook their food...
