00:00May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you
00:06Our story today is about a poor woman.
00:10Her husband has been bedridden for months.
00:13She has three children
00:15They are visiting on Eid day and there is no food in the house to feed their children and their bedridden husband.
00:23He stayed up all night thinking and didn't know what to do.
00:27As soon as the night passes, pray and ask God to grant her from His abundant provision.
00:33The next day she went to a small shop and asked the shopkeeper to give her what God had given him.
00:43What she feeds her children and her paralyzed husband
00:47The shopkeeper asked her if she had any money.
00:51She said, "I only have a piece of paper on which I wrote my prayer last night."
00:57The woman handed the paper to the man.
01:00The man read her supplication in which she asked God to grant her from His bounty.
01:05He laughed and said to her sarcastically, “If I put her on the scale and take everything that weighs from her, your prayer will be taken away.”
01:14The lady did not hesitate and actually put the room on the scale, to the man's astonishment.
01:23The man continued laughing and put down a carton of milk. He was surprised that the scale did not move.
01:33He put some fruit, but the scale did not move.
01:38He put some vegetables and the scale did not shake at all
01:43The man was surprised and did not understand what was going on.
01:47But he was afraid to continue putting more of his merchandise.
01:52He said to the woman, "I don't know what happened."
01:55But it seems that if I put all the store's merchandise, the scale will not move.
02:02And because I am a man of my word, you may have whatever food you like.
02:09The woman took as much food as she needed to suffice her and her poor neighbors.
02:16She left, thanking God for his generosity.
02:20The man was shocked by what had happened.
02:23Unable to believe or explain what happened
02:28He examined the scale carefully and discovered that there was a slight defect in the scale.
02:35He fixed it easily.
02:38But he kept wondering
02:39Why did the scale break down at that particular time?
02:43What made the woman come to his store?
02:47And with her is the paper on which she wrote her prayer.
02:51As if she was sure that she would return with her food
02:57The story is over
02:59Although it is just a fictional story, many people may not believe it happened.
03:06However, reality shows more than that.
03:10This lady called upon God, certain of the answer.
03:17In the lives of many of us, there are situations in which we called upon God sincerely and God answered them.
03:23Things happened that seemed like miracles.
03:27But it happened with the power and blessing of prayer.
03:31God Almighty says
03:33Call upon me and I will answer you
03:36This is the promise God made to himself.
03:39And then came
03:40Those who are too arrogant to worship Me
03:44They will enter Hell in humiliation.
03:46It was mentioned in the noble hadith
03:49Supplication is worship
03:51Praying for him has all this great status
03:55Because when you pray sincerely
03:57One is closest to God
04:01And most of what is connected to it
04:03There is pleasure in the servant’s humility in his supplication.
04:07He doesn't know her
04:09Except for those who call upon God with sincerity, supplication and humility
04:14Remember your Lord in yourself, humbly and fearfully.
04:18God loves those who are persistent in supplication.
04:21And the supplication of a heedless heart is not answered by God
04:26As mentioned in the hadith
04:27This is why the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to pray:
04:32O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is of no benefit.
04:36And a heart that does not fear
04:37And from a soul that is never satisfied
04:39And a prayer that is not answered
04:42And he, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
04:44Cook your restaurant and your prayers will be answered
04:48Happy Ramadan
04:50May the peace, blessings, and mercy of God be upon you
04:52Think about your homework
04:56As you think of your right
04:59Work to achieve perfection
05:02Not seeking fame or reward
05:05Do not expect more from people than they have the right to expect from you.
