A young man was getting ready to graduate the
college. For many months he had admired a beautiful
sports car in a dealer's show room, and knowing
father could well afford it, he told him that was
all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the
young man awaited signs that his father had purchased
the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation
his father called him into his private study and told
him how proud he was to have such a fine son and also
told him how much he loved him. He, then handed his
son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but some
what disappointed the young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Quran. Angrily, he
raised his voice at his father and said, "With all
your money you give me a Quran?" and stormed out of
the house, leaving the holy book behind. Many years
passed and the young man was very successful in
business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful
family, but realized his father was very old, and
thought perhaps he should go to him. As he had not
seen him since that graduation day. Before he could
make arrangements, he received a telegram telling
him his father had passed away, and willed all of
his possessions for his son. He needed to come home
immediately and take care of inheritance. When he
arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled his heart. He began to search his
father's belongings and saw the same Quran, just as
he had left it years ago. With tears in his eyes, he
opened the Quran and wanted to read it, as he turned
the pages, a car key dropped from an envelope taped
behind the Quran. It had a tag with the same
dealer's name, who had the sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the
words...PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss ALLAH's blessings
because they are not packaged as we expected?!!a
If this touched your heart, please
