Stories Narrated By The Prophet #08 An Act Of Worship That Makes Allah Extremely Happy

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam asked his companions

a very good question.

How would you describe the joy and happiness

of the following person?

Someone who was traveling on a camel,

loaded with food and water, but the destination

was far away and the process was very

rough. It was an open desert, empty, barren,

no trees, no living beings, no water, no

well, very harsh conditions.

So while he was traveling at one point

he told himself,

I will go under a tree and rest.

While he was resting, what happened? He fell

asleep.

As he was sleeping

the camel with all the food and drink

somehow

the reins, the rope got loosened up and

it left the man, Allahu Akbar.

Eventually after some time that man woke up.

When he woke up, where's the camel?

Right and left back. Where's the camel? This

is a dream? Nah. It's not a dream.

The camel's where? So he got so scared.

He panicked. He searched. The prophet

said this man, he went all the way

to one direction, so far away, looking for

the camel. Where is it? He did not

find it. Went to a second direction as

far as he can looking around it. Where's

the camel? No camel. Went to a third

direction searching for the camel but he did

not find anything.

This man was so exhausted

sweating

thirsty the heat of the sun. Oh it

was so bad to the point he exhausted

all the means and all the energy that

he gave up. What do you mean he

gave up? He gave up on his life.

He gave up on finding the camel and

he told himself, I will go to the

place I was at and sit until I

die. That's how bad the situation.

That's how hopeless he was brothers and sisters.

Now remember the question, how happy he will

be in the following situation?

As he was sitting

and he placed his head on his arm

and while he was doing that he dozed

off and he slept.

While he was sleeping who came the camel

Allahu Akbar and look how it came It

came so close to him that the reins

or the rope around the camel came next

to his hand, Allahu Akbar. Then

he

opened up his eyes, he looked and he

saw the camel, Allahu Akbar. He grabbed the

reins of the camel and then he went

and he said, Allah oh Allah

you are my slave. Hold on don't judge

me that was he what he said. Yes

he said that. Oh Allah

you are my slave and I am your

lord. The prophet said

this man made a mistake

for how happy he was. The Sahaba said,

yes. We can definitely answer the question by

saying this man was so happy

unlike any other situation in the world pretty

much. So then ready for this? The prophet

sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,

Allah is happier when his servant repents and

asks Allah's forgiveness

more than that man who found his camel

and belongings. Allahu Akbar. So, yes, repent to

Allah because you fear Allah's punishment. Repent to

Allah because you wanna start a new page,

but also repent to Allah

so Allah can be happy.

May Allah allow us to be of those

us all.

us all.
