An elderly lady was well-known for her Iman and
for her confidence in talking about it. She would stand in front of her
house and say Alhamdulilah "Allah be praised" to all those who passed
by. Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her
proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!" Hard times came
upon the elderly lady, and she prayed for Allah to send her some assistance.
She would pray out loud in her night prayer" Oh Allah! I need food!! I
am having a hard time, please Lord, PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME
GROCERIES!!" The atheist happened to hear her as she was praying, and
decided to play a prank on her. The next morning the lady went out on
her porch and noted a large bag of groceries and shouted, "Alhamdulilah,
Allah be praised!." The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said,
"Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God
didn't." The lady started jumping up and down and clapping her hands and
said, "ALHAMDULILAH WA SHUKRILLAH”. He not only sent me groceries, but
he made the devil pay for them!"
I adore the women's powerful faith to Allah despite of many negative words against her beliefs and religion. Allah, always know how to return the favor most especially in your sadness. halal
