The SpoRts Car and The QuR'aN~


A young man was getting ready to graduate college.

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports

car in a dealer's showroom

and knowing his father could well afford it,

he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached,

the young man waited signs that his father had purchased the car.

Finally,on the morning of his graduation,

his father called him into his private study.

His father told him how prooud he was to have such a fine

son,

and

told him how much he loved him.

He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious but somehow dissapointed,

the young man opened the box and found a

lovely,leather-bound Quran.

Angrily,he raised his voice at his father and said

"With all you money,you give me a Quran?!!"

and stormed out of the house,

leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man

was very succesful in bussiness.

He had a beautiful home and wonderful family,

but,

realised his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go

to see him.

He had not seen him seen the Graduation Day,

Before he could make arrangemnts,

he received a telegram telling his father

had passed away and willed all his possessions

to his son.

He needed to come home immediately

and take care things.

When he arrived at his father's house,

sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers

and saw the still new Quran,

just as he had left it years ago.

With tears,he opened the Quran and began to

turn the pages.

As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope

taped behind the Quran.

It had a tag with the dealer's name,

the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.

On the tag was the date of his graduation

and the words.....

PAID IN FULL.




P/s:How many times do we miss ALLAH's blessings

because they are not packaged as we expected?
