Smile and say Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). - AN AMAZING STORY.

Abdullah would say Alhamdulillah to everything that would happen to him, whether good or bad. One day while hunting, the King accidently shot-off his finger and Abdullah responded with his normal, "Alhamdulillah".

This Upset, the King he jailed Abdullah to which Abdullah again responded "Alhamdulillah". Soon thereafter, the King went out hunting again by himself. He strayed into tribal enemy grounds and was captured.

The tribe was about to sacrifice him before they realized he was missing a finger. Knowing full-well they should not sacrifice an incomplete human being, they released the King.

Ecstatic, the King knew that his misfiring the other day saved his life. He went back home and freed Abdullah. Afterwards, he asked Abdullah,

“I understand the loss of my finger was something worth saying "Alhamdulillah" over, but why did you say it when I jailed you?” Abdullah responded,

“Had I been with you that one day instead of in jail, I would have been sacrificed, since I did have all of my fingers!”.

Allah(swt) say's in the Quran

سورة البقرة
Al-Baqara | The Cow
Chapter 2 | Verse 216

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ ۖ وَعَسَىٰ أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Jihâd (holy fighting in Allâh's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allâh knows but you do not know.

Therefore, Brothers and Sisters, always be optimistic and respond with "Alhamdulillah" and Remember that Everything happens with you is for GOOD.

It's About Sabr (Patience) and Sukr (Gratitude) Remeber always Smile and say Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)
