Maryam Amir – Allah is so gentle

			This grandmother told me that
every day she would take a walk on
		

			a path that was overlooking the
ocean and had apartment buildings,
		

			and she would look at a particular
one with a patio that had a chair,
		

			and think she wished she could
just sit there, drink some tea and
		

			overlook the ocean. Today, she
just made a very intense straw.
		

			She was lonely. Her husband passed
away. Only Allah enter him into
		

			the highest paradise that he said,
and all of her loved ones, Emmy.
		

			So she just begged Allah for a
friend. And the next week, she's
		

			taking a walk on this path, and
this woman makes a beeline to her.
		

			She's never seen this woman
before, and the woman starts
		

			talking to her. They hit it off.
And the woman is like, I never do
		

			this, but do you want to come
over? I live really close by. And
		

			the grandmother is like, she never
would say, No, I feel comfortable.
		

			So okay, so they went to her
apartment, and the woman invites
		

			her to go out to the balcony. And
she goes out to the balcony, and
		

			she sees the same chair, and this
woman brings her tea, and they sit
		

			together drinking tea in the same
chair that she always wished she
		

			could sit in, overlooking the
ocean. Sometimes you may not feel
		

			like Allah is answering you,
because you don't see the answer
		

			in the really big but he knows
what's right for you in the really
		

			big and even in the small.
