THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!!!!!!
I dreamt that I went to Heaven and a Malaikat (Angel) was showing me
around.We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with Malaikats.
My Malaikat guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This
is the Receiving Section.Here, all petitions to Allah said in prayer are received.'
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many
Malaikats sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and
scraps from people all over the world. Then we moved on down a long
corridor until we reached the second section.The Malaikat guide then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.'
I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many Malaikats working
hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and
were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door
of a very small station.To my great surprise, only one Malaikat was seated there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the Acknowledgement Section,' my Malaikat friend
quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed. 'How is it that there's
no work going on here?' I asked.
'So sad,' the Malaikat guide sighed. 'After people receive the blessings
that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments'.
'How does one acknowledge Allah's blessings?' I asked. 'Simple,' the
Malaikat answered. 'Just say, 'Thank you, Allah'
'What blessings should they acknowledge?' I asked.
'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.
'If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a
dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy
Also .....
'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, You are more
blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.
'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, You are
ahead of 700 million people in the world.
'If you can attend a mosque meeting without the fear of harassment,
arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three
billion people in the world.
'If your parents are still alive and still married, You are very rare.
If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're
unique to all those in doubt and despair.'
Have a good day, shukur and count your blessings, and if you want, pass
this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
