Allah at the Window

[SAGAL]

Dear all,

> The following was sent to me by my niece. "This is a Rahma from Allah" that the younger generation is passing on the torch, even to us. Please enjoy.

 

> I pray that your life will never remain the same

> again

> as you meditate on this short story. read and be

> blessed.

>

> A little boy visited his grandparents on their farm.

> He was given a slingshot to play with in the woods.

> He

> practised, but couldn't hit the target. Getting

> discouraged, he headed back to lunch. As he walked

> back, he saw Grandma's pet duck. Out of impulse, he

> let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the

> head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved. In

> a

> panic, he hid the dead duck in the woodpile, only to

> see his sister watching. Wunmi had seen it all, but

> she said nothing.

>

> After lunch that day Grandma said, "Wunmi, let's

> wash

> the dishes." But Wunmi said, "Grandma, Idowu told me

> he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she

> whispered

> to him, "Remember the duck?" So Idowu did the

> dishes.

>

> Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted

> to go fishing. Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need

> Wunmi to help make supper." Wunmi smiled and said,

> "Well that's all right because Idowu told me he

> wanted to help." She whispered again, "Remember the

> duck?" So Wunmi went fishing & Idowu stayed to help.

> After several days of Idowu doing his chores and

> Wunmi's, he could stand it no longer. He came to

> Grandma & confessed that he had killed the duck.

> Grandma knelt beside Idowu & said, "I know. I was

> standing at the window and I saw the whole thing.

> Because I love you, I forgave you. I was just

> wondering how long you would let Wunmi make a slave

> of

> you."

>

> Thought for the day: Whatever is in your past,

> whatever you have done that the enemy throws in your

> face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger,

> unforgiveness,

> fornication, bitterness, etc.), whatever it is,

> ALLAH

> (SWT) was standing and present at the window and saw

> the whole thing. He wants you to know He loves you &

> that you are forgiven. He wonders how long you will

> let the enemy make a slave of you. Remember, God not

> only forgives you, He forgets and equally bless you

> instead. (ALLAHU GAFUR-RAHEEM)

>

> Make the difference in someone's life today. Share

> this with a family member or friend. ALLAH(SWT)is at

> the window.
