How Kind is Allah!

[Sadiq]

How Kind is Allah!

There lived an idolator in the past who made an idol out of stone and would worship it everyday. He would call it upon it by saying "Ya Sanam." For seventy years, he worshipped this idol. One day by mistake he uttered "Ya Samad" instead of Ya Sanam. Samad is a name of Allah which means The Self Sufficient Master. Allah Ta'ala immediately replied back to this idolator by saying "I am present oh My slave." The angels asked Allah why He replied to him since he didn't even call upon Him intentionally. Allah told the angels that for seventy years I have been waiting for this servant of mine to turn towards Me!

If a mother has only one child then how much would she love him? He would be the coolness of her eyes and the comfort of her heart. But if this son calls her saying "Mommy" more than four or five times, she would get irritated eventhough she loves him more than her ownself. On the other hand, when we call Allah once, He replies back to us 70 times by saying "Labbaik Ya Abdi (I am here oh My slave)." How unfortunate we are that we have not recognized our Allah who is so Kind, Merciful and Forgiving.

AssalaamuAlikum
I have heard this story.Maualana relates it in his various lectures. His description of the verse of Surah AlFajr:Ya Ayatuhan Nafsil Mutmainna is simply superb. He desribes that I visualize God in his own imafination a mother with open arms and her son is walking towards her falling and then walking again trying to reach her and the mothers says come come my son and takes the son in her lap. Imaynot be able to describe his imagination but he is superb. You have to listen to him to believe how amazing he is. He talks all drenched in the love of God. MashaAllah. Wassalaam.
