Allah listens to our prayers"

Assalaamu alaikum.....

Hope ur doing well.....



Allah listens to our prayers.

A nice story testing FAITH -.



A young man had been to Wednesday Night Class of Quranic Studies.

The Muslim (Scholar) had shared about listening to Allah and obeying



Allah through intuition.



The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does Allah still speak to



people through intuition?'



After Lessons, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and

they discussed the message.. Several different ones talked about how



Allah had led them in different ways and that at the end you'll know it

was Allah (S.W.T) Who has directed you.



It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home.

Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, 'Allah...If you still speak



to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.'



As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest



thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said

out loud, 'Allah is that you?' He didn't get a reply and started on



toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk came into

his head. 'Okay, Allah, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.' It



didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the

milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.



As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, 'Turn Down that

street.' This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection.



Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street . At the next

intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he



said out loud, 'Okay, Allah, I will.'



He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He



pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi-commercial

area of town.. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of



neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses

looked dark like the people were already in bed.



Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give the milk to the people in the



house across the street.' The young man looked at the house. It was

dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep.



He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. 'Allah,

this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are

going to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt like he should

go and give the milk.



Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay Allah (S.W.T), if this is you, I will

go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look

like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will

count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here.'



He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise

inside. A man's voice yelled out, 'Who is it? What do you want?' Then

the door opened before the young man could get away.



The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he

just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't

seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep.

'What is it?'



The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, 'Here, I brought this to you.'

The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the

hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was

following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears

streaming down his face. The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were just praying.



We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't

have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking Allah (S.W.T)

to show me how to get some milk.'



His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I ask him to send an Angel with

some milk. Are you an Angel?'



The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he

had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward

his car and the tears were streaming down his face.

He knew that Allah (S.W.T) still answers prayers.



If possible share with your near & dear.

I think I've heard the same story before, always nice to read.

Infact this has happened to me in somany occasions that it just strengthens my faith even more.

When I listen to talks, lectures, and read hadith. I explain to others and subhanAllah, the result are amazing.

I heard a talk on divorce which included the couple not having any children, and then within months Allah put me in front of a couple 1000s of miles away and I explained the same thing to them. I forced them to renew their nikkah, and I swear by Allah, within one month Allah gave them good news and now they are expecting their first baby after a few years of marriage.

They told me and still tell me that Allah sent an angel to them to show them the correct way. Allah keep us all on the right path.

Faith, yaqeen, aqeedah, Imaan, when these are strong and others see the result, they come to the truth too. I pray to Allah he keep my Imaan, aqeedah, faith and yaqeen strong all the tme.

I'm no angel, but Allah works in wonderfull ways.
