يA young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his
father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father
had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father
called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to
have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son
a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the
young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Quran. Angrily,
he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me
a Quran?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had
a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old,
and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had لا seen him since that
graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram
telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his
possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care
things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret
filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw
the still new Quran, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened
the Quran and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key
dropped from an envelope taped behind the Quran. It had a tag with the
dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the
tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss ALLAH blessings because they are packaged as
we expected?
