Happy Muslim Mama: Picture of the Day: 17.07.14 – Exactly What You Need

This week I had to take Little Lady to meet her new teacher after work and ended up running late to prepare iftar.  I rushed home to realise that I had forgot to pick up some dates.  I felt bad because mum-in-law struggles with fasting, but she still fasts and always opens her fasts with a date.

I was too tired to go out again, so just got on with preparing the rest of the food.  Just before iftar time, someone knocked on the door asked them how they were and handed them two plates of food:

Plaited chicken bread, fruit salad, some very sweet melon and two dates – one for me and one for mum-in-law.

I’m not sure who the person was who dropped off the food, but the boys recognised him as a friend of their dads from the masjid.  Alhamdulillah, Allah (SWT) sent him at just the right time with exactly what we needed.

“And whosoever is conscious of Allah, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Indeed Allah has sent a measure for all things.” ~ Quran: 65/2-3
