Never Underestimate The Power Of Dua

The Power of Prayer(DUA)... A must read true Story

A young Muslim university student, was home for the summer. She had gone to visit some sisters one evening & the time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

She ended up staying longer than she had planned.

Evening came & she had to walk home alone, but she wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, the girl asked "God" to keep her safe from harm & danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it.

However, halfway down the alley, she noticed a man standing at the end, as though he was waiting for her. She became uneasy & began to pray, asking for "God's" protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness & security wrapped around her; she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man & arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the paper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley, just twenty minutes after she had been there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy & the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety & to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a line up to see if she could identify him.

She agreed & immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down & confessed.

The officer thanked the girl for her bravery & asked if there was anything they could do for her, she asked if they would ask the man one question.

The girl was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

Never underestimate the power of DUA.....it was Prophet Ibrahim's DUA in the Quran in some many thousands of years ago that a country like Saudi Arabia is now prosperous! there are many more examples of the power of Dua such as these.
never loose hope, ask Allah he is there awaiting for you and will surely respond to you sooner or later In Shaa Allah..
