All praise belongs to Allah swt. I find that when I am upset , or worried I always manage to find a penny either on the road side, in my car, or in my pocket. I pick it up an it reads "in God we trust" Allah Akbar. I love reading all the inspirational stories. All praise belongs to Allah swt.

There was a time just a few months ago when I was struggling to cope financially and was unable to find a job. I had not spoken about this to anyone but continuously supplicated to Allah using his glorious names to help me and take me out of the distress I was facing. And then one night during Ramadan there was an appeal before the Fajr prayer. The brothers were raising money for a hospital to be built in the Swat valley. I really wanted to help so I called the donation hotline and donated a small amount of money. I saw it as an investment in the akhirah and felt I had to give and knew that Allah would aid me in own problems that I was undergoing. Subahanallah after this day I was given a job and had a way to support myself. Alhumdulillah I know that this was and still is a beautiful blessing from Allah. I am aware that we should remember Allah and praise him no matter what our situation is. But this time I was touched more so because it affirmed for me that Allah is the only one who can and is able to help. One more thing we are advised when doing something, whether its an act of ibadaah or not to do it continuously. I believe that this is definitely the key. This is just one occasion in which Allah has bestowed his grace upon me, throughout my life I have encountered many others. Bismillah.

We used to take the bus or walk a lot if we need to do something. One day it even fell in a ditch while we were driving! Meanwhile, we met some twin sisters who we hardly even knew for about a month or so. One day out of the blue they called us and said we have two cars that we don't need and we would like you to have them. Mind you these were not some beat up cars but a really nice Mercedes Benz and a nicer Toyota. At that time we were in dire need as some people are when they don't have reliable transportation. So we were so fortunate and thankful that Allah always provides. Also I want to tell anyone out there reading this that no matter what happens to you do not give up on yourself and Allah. Allhamdulluah, we were provided for and have had many cars since and we will never forget the kindness of stranger.

I also feel as if a mountain was lifted off my chest. I could be going thru some hardship and as soon as I give something in the name of Allah only to please Allah. It is a feeling which is out of this world. Nothing is better than feeling good about giving where the world means nothing and everything is Allah.
