Help from God
Mariam, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.
She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would give her a few groceries on credit.
She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had five children and they needed food.
The grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.
In desperation, she pleaded: 'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'
The grocer told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.
A well-dressed man standing beside the counter, overheard the conversation between the two. He walked forward and told the grocer that he would pay for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'
Mariam replied, 'Yes sir.' 'ok' grocer said, 'put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.'
Mariam hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and write something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.
The eyes of the grocer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down.
The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly to the man and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'
The man that wants to pay for Mariam said Allahu Akbar! (God is Great!). Mariam exclaimed Subuannah! (Glory be to God) watching the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales. The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales could hold no more.
Everybody there was surprised. The grocer finally grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it in great amazement.
It was not a grocery list, it was a verse from the glorious Quran which says:
*Wama Nasru illah min indillah* (There is no help except from Allah. Q3v126)
The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.
The man that offer to pay for Mariam request for the bill and paid the grocer. He said you cannot imagine the weight of a verse from Holy Quran. Alhamdulillah! Praise be to God!
Mariam thanked the grocer and the man that paid for her bill and left the store.
*Opportunity*: Now, make one request from Almighty God and recite Q3v126 (above) eleven times with faith. In-sha-Allah God Almighty will fulfill your needs.
It is not mandatory to make a request, infact there's no ill luck for you even if you don't share it. But there's more benefits if you make a request and share it.
*Prayer for you*:
*The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will share this message to others shall not labour in vain, the mouth saying Allahu Akbar! to this story and prayers shall praise God. Oh our Creator! Answer the request of your servants, give them istijabah because of your special love for Muhammad Rasulullah, Issa, Musa, and other prophets peace be on them all. Aamiin
