Be Thankful to Allah

One fine evening Iffat was playing with her little sister and elder brother in their lawn, her mother bought some fruits for them, Iffat’s father was reading a book in lawn and was watching their children playing. 

Mother came in lawn and greeted.

Mother : Assalamualikum,

Father and children replied walikumassalam, 

Amana: (youngest sister) “Mama what’s there in in the basket?” 

Mother: I bought fruits for you all, all of you come here at the table. 

All of them gathered at the lawn table, where father was reading a book, “mama I want an apple” Iffat and Abrar (Elder Brother) shouted at the same time. 

Mother: I have only one apple, I will make slices, both of you can have it, 

Iffat: “no, I want to have it full”.

Abrar: “ok no problem, you are younger to me you can have it, I will go with the orange”. 

Father: (patted Abrar’s back) “Masha Allah you are a good boy”.

Iffat : (After taking a bite of apple) my teacher told me, Allah made this apple. 

Father: yes, my darling, Allah has made everything for us. 

Abrar: Abbu, is this apple was made for iffat?

Father: yes, my son Allah has made this apple for Iffat, Allah made many people to work for this apple and sent it for iffat.

Allah has made a farmer somewhere in Kashmir to plant an apple tree, then that farmer planted the tree and gave water to the plant, Allah by his grace made the plant to grow into a huge tree and then Allah filled the tree with apples, when apple was ready, Allah made that farmer to sell this apple to fruit merchant here in Hyderabad. When that fruit merchant got this apple, Allah made him to stand on the way where iffat’s father can see this apple so that it can reach iffat. When I saw this apple, allah made me to purchase it, when I bought this apples to home, all were finished but only this one is left, and both of you and iffat wanted to have it, but Allah made you to leave if for Iffat. See, how did allah made arrangements to bring this apple for Iffat. 

Abrar: Allahu Akbar, iffat , you must thank Allah for this Apple 

Iffat: Allhuma lakal Hamad, wa laka Shukr.
