There's a very interesting story who's who's from miracle here?
Anybody from miracle because the story about miracle
so in Gujranwala in one of the villages of Gujranwala, there was
a hockey himself. He used to have a surgery in town in the city, he
had a very strange way of working unusual way that most of us
wouldn't understand.
He would go to the city every day to open up his surgery. Before
leaving, he would ask his wife from the village, what do you need
from the city today, so which mich masala, you know, some spices, I
need some oil, I need this, she would write it on a piece of
paper, and he would take it with him. When he would get there he
would check the paper the list only after getting the he would
look at it and he would he would then budget you'd say okay, this
cost 20 rupees and this cost 50 rupees, he would then total that
up. And then he would make a dua to Allah subhanaw taala, he would
say that, Oh Allah, I'm only coming here to, to earn a living
for my dependent ones. So when I have earned this living, as soon
as you give me this amount, then I will close shop and go back nearly
every day by about 930 to about 10 o'clock, he would see whichever
patients would come in. And he as soon as he made that amount of
money, if it was 500 rupees, 300 rupees, then he would close up,
and then he would go back, he would he would do his shopping,
and he would go back every day. This was his story. He says, I'm
only doing this to fulfill my obligation of living. I'm looking
after my dependent ones. One day,
he left home as normal. And his wife gave him a little
piece of paper with the list. So he gets the opens up his surgery.
And he looks to start the budget. And there's a few spices and
things like that he budgets them and then it says
the daughter's Jahaz Gamal
meaning his daughter is going to get married. So all of the things
that she needs to give to the other side, all the supplies that
you have to give in these cultures, unfortunately, it's
there. And sometimes that could debilitate people in getting their
daughters married. It's really strange.
In Arab countries, it's about the man having to pay a huge amount of
money. But in some of our countries, in some areas, like in
some areas of India, some areas of Pakistan and Bangladesh, the girl
has to cough up. And if a guy has had five daughters, he is going to
be miserable because of this culture.
So
he'll looks at that. And he he writes next to it, he said, You
Aloka come here. Hola, Jana. Right? This is I'm going to have
to leave to Allah subhanho wa taala. Allah knows best how I'm
going to make this is used to everyday making the few 100
rupees, or you know, few 1000 Whatever it is, and this is just a
huge amount of difference.
And he starts his work. And he's seen patients, he sees a few
patients and then suddenly this big car pulls up outside and cars
pull up all the time in that area. And so he didn't give it a second
look, just normal. And a person comes in. This suited booted guy
comes in.
And he sits on the bench. So after Hakeem Sal finishes off with the
current patients, he says to me, says, if you would like me, if
it's something about yourself, then please come next to me on
this chair. So I can check your pulse. So I can diagnose your
problem or if it if you come here to ask for somebody else's
medicine, then let me know what the symptoms are, what the
problems are and make your medicine. So the person says my
name is such and such, but it looks like you haven't recognized
me.
So the hacker himself probably looks bewildered. So he says,
Let me tell you 15 years ago, I had been I'm from Miramar.
But I'm coming from Lahore and on my way from Lahore to Munich,
where I pass by
this area every time. Fifth 15 years ago.
As we were passing by this area, we had a puncture.
And it was really hot in the late morning. And as my driver was
fixing the puncture, I was there standing in the heat. And you saw
me. So you came outside and said come in and sit down. So you made
me sit down and you had a small girl with you.
And it took a while for the puncher to be fixed. But in that
time your daughter kept telling you oh Father, Father, come on.
Why are you taking so long? Let's go home. You know, it's, you know,
I'm hungry or whatever it is, I'm hungry. You know, we need to go
home and you kept telling you just be patient, just be patient. Then
I thought to myself
of 15 years ago, when I was sitting there that I'm sitting
here for free, maybe I should do something, this person is
even laying his daughter, you know, comforting her. And you
know, just for my sake, because so he said, that I decided to tell
you my story that I've been in England for five years. Now this
story was sent to me, I don't know who this person is. I'd like to
meet him one day if I could,
if it is a true story, right? So I mean, I have no reason to doubt
that it's a true story. He said, I'd been in England five years,
we've been trying to have children. But we just can't have
sure we've tried everything we've been had tests done in the you
know, in the hospitals there. We've done everything, but we just
cannot have children. So as I'm saying this, he started getting
some potions of medicine ready. He splits it up. And then he put it
into two separate packages. And then he asked me my name. And I
said, my name is so and so. So he made he wrote it. And then he
said, Look, the problem you have only Allah subhanaw taala can fix
that. Doesn't matter who does tests doesn't matter who gives you
medicine?
He doesn't tell you them, Oh, I've got a medicine for you. It's going
to cost you this much. He said, It doesn't matter what medicine you
take, which Hakeem gives you medicine. It's only up to Allah
subhanaw taala you need to ask Allah because he is the provider.
And then he said, Look, this one is for you. And this one is for
your wife. He put the two the two envelopes into a larger envelope,
a larger package. And he gave it to him. So I said, Okay, can I?
How much is it? He said, No, today's today's balances is full.
Today's businesses closed. Sneaky. What do you mean is closed? The
whole reason I did this is to pay you something and you're telling
me that the business is closed. So there was somebody else would come
in, who was a local, he probably knew he said, What he means is
that every day he comes in the morning, and however much he needs
for that day's
expenditure. That's how much he works. And then after that, he
doesn't do anything over that.
So
they said this was quite amazing. And then and then I left. When I
got home, I told my wife this story.
And she was amazed by the story that this Hakeem SAAB is such a
noble person, such a great human being that he first hosted you
like this, then didn't even take advantage of your situation.
Right? Looking at you as a person who's wealthy, there must be some
blessing and Baraka in this medicine. Let's take it. They
started, you know, praying to Allah, whatever it is, and they
started taking this medicine. And he says today Alhamdulillah I have
three children. I have three beautiful daughters. I believe you
said daughters said I have three beautiful children.
Now what happened is,
I have come right now, because my most of my family is in England.
Right? What's new, right? Most of my family is England. I've just
got one sister, who is a widow, who who's lost her husband, she's
a widow. And she's a widow. And she has a daughter. And it's
she's, I think 21 years old or something. And she, her marriage
is on the 21st of this month. And we have come as a family. And we
have taken responsibility for her that she's our sister, she doesn't
have any money, we are going to pay the jazz, we're going to pay
everything we're going to take care of the entire marriage.
That's what we had come for.
However, what happened just five days before, so it's on the 21st,
but five days before, what happened is that she had gone
shopping into the market and felt some headache or something Come
on, she didn't tell anybody. She developed a fever, but she didn't
mention anything in the excitement or whatever the case is. And
finally she fell down in the market after doing a lot of the
shopping, they took her to the hospital, but she had a very high
fever. They couldn't save her and she passed away.
Now we've done a lot of the purchase and everything. And me
and my wife have decided and it came into our mind that you're in
this Gujranwala area. And we remember that you have a small
daughter. We don't know what her state is, whenever she's going to
get married. If it's now or later. If it's now then we want to sort
the whole wedding out
and tell us your address. And we will send all of the
summon all the shopping that we've done for it, tell us our our truck
or whatever it is we'll come and drop it at your place.
And if it's later on then that's fine. We'll give you the money for
it. But if it's now then we want to do it.
And this Hakeem sub is just just looking totally
dumbfounded, he just can't believe what's happening here. So
he says
that this morning I came.
And this is generally what I do that I look at my budget and this
is what my wife had written. And this is what I had written.
I'll tell you exactly what he had written.
He says, I think I should say this in order because who doesn't
understand or do hear better?
I'll translate it for you as well. Halfway, I'll translate it for
you. Not so the person tells him You have no refusal rights here.
You're going to take this as it is making an imposition on him.
Yeah, Allah, Allah. He said Muhammad Ali said
his name was Muhammad Ali. He said our joke which gara when would you
summarize many other is a simple person, which is so much money

a Kista apne modules and ricotta. Essentially what he said, is going
to sound boring for the rest of you, but for our brothers.
He said he was dumbstruck. He said, Look, I don't even
understand what's going on. Right?
He said this morning when my wife gave me the
list. And I came and checked it out. And it had Jessica salmon,
which means everything you need for a marriage for your daughter.
I was just how am I going to do this? So I wrote that this is for
Allah meaning this is I'm going to leave this to Allah. Allah knows
best how to deal with this. And now you come Mrs. I do feel sorrow
that your daughter your niece has died. But I'm just Subhanallah he
calls out to Allah subhanaw taala Oh, Kareem Avi are great one Oh,
benevolent one.
And then basically he says this, this is what's important to
understand. He says, he says that, since I have become mature, and
discerning and understanding.
He says that there is one lesson that I always do that I have read
and that I always follow, which is the in the morning I say raazi
Karasik to hear ASIC. Oh Sustainer Oh, sustainer you're the only
Sustainer everything comes from you. And he says are Shymko Sugar,
Sugar Mala Tara sugar. Thank you. Thank you gratitude. It's only
thanks to you, oh Allah. He is starting his day off with Allah.
He's ending his day with Allah subhanaw taala. And everything in
between is Mubarak and Baraka. In fact, what the person had said is
that I've been trying to catch you for a few days. Every day I've
come I come in afternoon, evening, your your stories closed. So
yesterday, somebody told me you need to come at nine o'clock in
the morning to catch up himself. And that's why I'm here today.
Now, if we could have that kind of baraka and blessing, and you know,
this is recent times, you know, this is probably last 1015 20
years. And this is not the only story. We don't have the time, but
there are stories like this from Mallanna Yunus Patel, who was a
wonderful person and Rahim Allah is passed away now in in Durban,
South Africa. There are things like this about him as well that
I've heard, but it requires a certain level of Tawakkol to do
this, you can't do this. If you don't have reliance in Allah. You
don't have any trust in Allah how you're going to do it. You're
gonna think Is he gonna give me or not? Is he going to give me but if
your Eman is strong and you have the taco and you have the taco,
then you will do something like this. May Allah grant us this
level of Taqwa. That's serious
May Allah grant us this is not a story of 700 years ago or 1000
years ago, this is recent time with everything England, Pakistan,
Punjab, Miracle Kashmir, everything involves May Allah
subhanaw taala make this a reality for us. May Allah subhanaw taala
grant us an understanding. I'm not saying that that's all we can we
will do as well, but at least it gives us some understanding of
having some contentment, working with that one and il hamdulillahi
