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