*THE HAPPIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD*
(A TREASURE CHEST OF REMINDERS)
Episode 35
*A GREAT DEAL OF PROVISION COMES WITH SEEKING FORGIVENESS*
"...Do not despair of the mercy of Allāh..." [Qur'an 39:53].
A woman said: My husband died when I was in my thirties, and I had five children, boys and girls, from him. My world turned dark around me, and I wept until I feared I would lose my sight, I complained about my bad luck and fell into despair and depression. My children were small, and our income was not sufficient. I was spending carefully from the little money that our father had left to us. One day, in my room, I turned on the radio, then turned into the Glorious Qur-ān radio station. I heard a Shaykh saying: "The messenger of Allāh (Blessings and peace be upon him) said: "Whoever prays to Allāh a great deal for forgiveness, Allāh will grant him relief from every distress and a way out from every hardship." So after that I began to pray a great deal for forgiveness, and I told my children to do likewise. Only six months later, the developers came, bought some old property of ours, and paid us millions for it. My son became the first student in his region to memorise the entire Qur-ān, and he became a focus of people's care. Our house was filled with blessings and we attained the best standard of living. Allāh has kept all my sons and daughters safe and sound, and has taken away my worry, grief and depression. I have become the happiest of women."
"If you give in to despair, you will learn nothing and you will never find happiness."
