His Help Is Absolute.

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Alhamdulillah, all praise to Him, and all praise to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Well, I would like to share a story with readers. The story was told by my lecturer during our professional communication  class and I feel like I want to share it, hope to be benefit to all.

The story goes about few years ago, when one of my lecturer's friend was considering to buy a house. Nowadays, the trade goes by applying a bank loan. The house was about 300k. That time she has a high sense of desire to buy the house due to the small in distance between the location of the lot to her late mother's house.

Unfortunately, she managed to get about 75% of bank loan, while the rest of the money, she needs to earn herself, before the dateline, otherwise the deal is off. She has a small amount of saving, and after going through a series of asking her close relatives for help, still the money isn't sufficient and much way too far near to the price deal.

The dateline is next week. She tried her best to accumulate the remaining 25% but still not enough. She almost lost all hope and idea to gain the money. In the weekend, she excluded herself from the society, ignoring any incoming call, praying to Allah, munajat and muhasabah, repented of her past, while waiting for the promised date to be coming. She wanted to be alone, where she will free from the stress of the work, and less thinking about the problem. Up to a point she feels like to complain to her late mom as though she was at her wits end.

"Mom, if you are here, you might know what to do."

Then, the day finally came. She took a day off from work, for clearing all the business mess in her mind. As she was just about to call the developer of the house, in intention to close the deal off, a call came in. She answered, and you know what, and an inheritance (harta pusaka) officer was on the other side of the line. He told her that there was a land that her mother sold out a few years back, and the agency was trying to trace her for about 20 years or so. And guess what, the total money that she just inherited was about the same exact amount she needed to sign the house deal. With a few extra of course. 

 

Masya-Allah, how grateful her be, even in her mother's death, she was trying to help her. That was how strong a mother's help is. And also, That was Allah's grace in helping His loyal servant, for not even gave up upon His mercy.

"And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion." (65: 3)

"O Allah, please help us in the way You have planned, for Your plans are absolute perfect way for us, and don't let us chaos our faith if You grace us a little bit later, as being a patient is a part of iman, and You are All-Knowing what's best for Your humble servants."

my prayers, what's yours?

If our prayers were answered by Allah in the state of late, there are two possibilities can be deduced from it. Allah wants to test whether His servants are still loyal to Him after a period of waiting, or Allah wants to give a better solution for us. See, Allah indeed loves us, don't you think so? Like my friend said,

"Allah sangat sweet kan?"

credits to al. she reminded me of this.

"sahabat yang baik adalah sahabat yang apabila kita teringat/berjumpa dengannya, kita akan ingat kepada Allah." :D
