Paid in full
Assalamualaikum,
One
day, a poor boy from a lone village who was selling goods from door to door to
pay his way through school, found that he had only one dime left, and he was
hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house, however, he
lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.
Instead
of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry
so brought him a large glass of milk.
He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
She said: "You don't owe me anything, mother has taught us never to
accept money for a kindness because Allah already paid us the price"
He said "Then I thank you from my heart."
As Ahmed left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in Allah was stregnthened.
Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors
were baffled so they sent her to the big city, where they called in
specialists to study her rare disease.
Dr. Ahmed was called in for the consultation.
When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his
eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at
once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save
her life from that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Ahmed requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it,
then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to
pay for it all.
Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the
bill. She read these words.....
"Paid in full by Allah"
(Signed)
Dr. Ahmed
"A faithful believer to a faithful believer is like the bricks of a
wall, enforcing each other"
"If anyone makes a contribution towards Allah's path, seven hundred
times as much will be recorded to his credit."
"And Allah multiplies to whom He will."
Wassalam.
