However if a portion of the highway was under construction, then the person would stay awake while driving and he would drive with utmost caution and be more alert.” In addition, sometimes a portion of the road (on the side - the shoulder) is made uneven, so that the driver does not fall asleep at the wheel. Trials and tribulations is similar to this - the apparent aspect of these challenges are things which may upset a person, however there is mercy and blessing contained within them.

Another issue that has been alluded to in this tradition is that a person must know and understand that every act one performs - however great or small - even something involuntary as one's breathing - is under watch and is being recorded.[^2] Over and above any single creature, Allah the Most High, is watching over and seeing what we do; then the two Angels are commanded to be witnesses and write everything in a book; and even the land that a person lives in and his own body parts will bear witness for or against him on the Day of Resurrection.

In addition, it is mentioned in the tradition that even the day (each and every time period) will also bear witness on the Day of Judgement in relation to our actions and deeds. Thus in summary we must know that we are under close watch and scrutinized every moment of our lives!
