Re: who controls us; why are we here; fate

Aslam-O-Alaikum sister,

The story you told above I think is different and not related to Hazart Ali. I could be wrong, there could be 2 different stories. Any way here’s the one I know.

There was a very pious man who used to help everyone and if anyone comes to him for help he would make sure the person does not go away with empty hands or without being helped.

Once a person came to his house and said I am hungry and I need money to buy the food. The pious man said to that person that if he could wait at the door and he will go see what he can find in his house to help him. When the pious man came back he could not find the person at his door. So he started looking for him and ended up in bazar (market place) and at one of the shop he noticed this saddle that belong to him. He went to the shop and asked about the saddle how it ended up here. The shopkeeper said it belong to him because few mins ago someone sold it to him for 12 dinar. The pious person looked in his hand and saw he had 12 dinars.

The needy person who came to get some help at this pious man’s house had stolen the saddle and sold it for 12 dinar and when that pious man went in his house to get something to help this person he found 12 dinars which he thought he would give it to this needy person.

The moral of the story is that this person had 12 dinars in his “kismat” but it was up to him how he would get those 12 dinars…the right way or the wrong way…unfortunately he ended up getting it the wrong way.

Waslam.
