A King had a male servant
who, in all circumstances always said to him; My king, do not be
discouraged because everything Allah does is perfect, no mistakes.
One day, they went hunting and a wild animal
attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't
prevent his majesty from losing a finger; Furious and without showing
gratitude, the King said; if Allah was good, I would not have been attacked by dis stupid wild animal and lost one finger.
The servant replied 'despite all these
things, I can only tell you that Allah is good and everything He does is perfect, He is never
wrong'. Outraged by the
response, the king got angry nd ordered the arrest of his servant.
While being taken to prison, he told the king again, Allah is Good
& Perfect. Another day, the king left alone for another hunt and was
captured by 'savages' who
use human beings for sacrifice.
On
the altar, the savages found out that the king didn't have one finger in
place, he was released because he was considered not "complete" to be
offered to the gods. On his return to the palace, he ordered the
release of his servant and said; My friend, Allah was really good to me.
I would av been killed nd use for sacrifice but for d lack of a single
finger.
I was released. But I have a
question; If Allah is so good, why did He allow me to put you in prison?
His servant replied; Allahu Akbar!!! My
king, if I had not been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and
would have been used in place 'sacrificed', because I have no missing
finger. Everything Allah does is perfect, He is never wrong.
Often we complain
about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that
everything happens for a purpose. Allah knows why He chose you to
read this message today,
please bless someone with it by sharing it...indeed Allah is good and perfect!!!
