Allah knows what's best for us!

 I ask for strength - And Allah gave me difficulties to make strong

I ask for wisdom - And Allah gave me problem to solve.

I ask for property - And Allah gave me brain & brawn to work.

I ask for courage - And Allah gave me danger to overcome.

I ask for love - And Allah gave me troubled people to help.

I ask for favors - And Allah gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted...

I received everything I needed!

Story of Ikrimah RA and Halimatus Saadia RA

After Fattah Mecca, Ikrimah came to embrace Islam. Prophet S.A.W asked all the sahabah RA not to curse his father (because the sahabah used to say 'la'natullah 'ala Abi Jahl) in his presence. When Ikrimah came, Rasulullah SAW stood up & greet him w/ smiling face.

At a battle, Ikrimah RA got off from his horse (a sign for martydom).  Khalid RA urged him to stay alive, because they need him for his strength. Ikrimah RA replied, "You embraced Islam during Fattah Mecca, but what about me? I haven't done anything for Islam. Let me compensate for what I've done by this."

-> Rasulullah SAW & companions RA sacrificed their feelings, for the fikr on Ikrimah to become Muslim.

-> Ikrimah's respect on Khalid, although Khalid embraced Islam just a little bit earlier. 

***   

Halimatus Saadia took body of Rasulullah SAW

-> orphan

-> noble but poor

-> recognized, but other people prefer richer babies

What happened as a result, Allah gave her & her family blessings.

-> This effort of daawah is an orphan, noble but poor, recognized, but people prefer other things

Insha Allah, Allah will give blessings to those who take care of this effort.
