Bismillah
Assalaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
This is just a personal story, it transpired yesterday.
Some months ago some events transpired which led to me losing my job. I haven't found any work yet, and because of this I have been feeling very deficient and feeling like I am being neglectful of my wife, since I can not provide with a steady income to care for her and the children. I expressed these thoughts to her and she is so understanding of me, and reminded me that provision is from Allah and that this is just a passing time, and it wont always remain this way, insha'Allah.
The next day, I was checking the balance of a debit card that I own. The last time I checked it I had between 30-80 dollars. I cant remember the exact amount but it was somewhere in between there the last time I checked, which was just about a week ago.
When I checked the balance, it said 337 dollars. I have no idea how this money got there or for what reason.
Then I had a thought. I said to myself, that I am going to look at the corresponding chapter and verse in the Qur'aan with these numbers. My first thought was to go to Ali Imraan, chapter 3 of Qur'aan. I also told myself I will go to Al Ahzab, which is chapter 33, verse 7.
So I went and got my Qur'aan.
I first went to Al Ahzab, which was actually not my first inclination to look towards, but I went there first for whatever reason. It says:
"And when We took from the Prophets their covenant, and from you, and from Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, and `Isa son of Maryam. We took from them a strong covenant.) (8. That He may ask the truthful about their truth. And He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful torment."
I thought, OK, now I will check Chapter 3 Verse 37. It says, to my amazement... :
"So her Lord (Allah) accepted her with goodly acceptance. He made her grow in a good manner and put her under the care of Zakariyya. Every time he entered the Mihrab to (visit) her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Maryam! From where have you gotten this'' She said, "This is from Allah.'' Verily, Allah provides sustenance to whom He wills, without limit."
Subhan'Allah. Alhamdullilah. Allahu akbar.
La ilaha ill Allah.
