Rí-al Love

8. One side pain

Aug 22nd, 2018

It's been one year since Ahmed joined his company, so he demanded his TL to increase his salary a week before. In every dua after every namaz, he'll ask for his betterment of his career life. In today's Jummu'ah(Friday prayer), he asked the same dua wholeheartedly. He'll be praying his 3 times prayer(Duhr, Asr, Magrib) in his office every weekdays. Though his company owner belongs to different religion, they allocated a prayer room for Muslim staffs. This is one of the Allah's blessings for Ahmed to worship his Rabbu during his office hours too. Many won't get such facilities and many prefer jobs to praying their compulsory salah. For every Jummu'ah, they'll allow every Muslim staffs to go to nearby masjid.

Asusual, he came to his office after the Friday namaz, he was surprised to see his PC screen. It was a mail notification from his team, when he opens it, he really felt the amazing power of his Rabbu. He wants to do sujood(prostration) that time itself,

Dear Ahmed,
Congratulations on your Paper Anniversary to be part of our team. Our team is really proud to have a hardworking and efficient staff like you. So your salary has been increased from its usual increment, the total net amount is Rs.xxxxx. Unlike the salary statement of each year, you really deserve this package. Hope you will continue this kind of credits in the future.

With regards,
Voltech HR Team

His happiness knew no bounds. First he thanked Allah. He just asked for a yearly increment but Allah gave him more than he expected. His duas got answered. Later he texted Ridha about this great news though she was not online,
"Assalamu Alaikum Ridha, I got salary this month more than I expected. Really I am more happy. In sha a Allah(if Allah wills), If I get increment like this in the upcoming year, we'll marry soon, unlike our plan"

They had their plans, like, they have to achieve their goals within four years, so that they can have a happy and peaceful life in the future (In sha a Allah). Despite they knew that Allah have better plans for them. He thought of a Qura'anic verse,
"And Allah is the best of Planners"
Al-Qur'an (8:30)

This verse reminds him about his Almighty's plans. When we have patience in our life, Allah will reward us for our patience. And no dua is left unanswered by Him. He will surely answer the dua of his slave when he asks him by raising his hands. There are three kinds of dua,
A dua will answer quickly,
A dua will answer when the right time arrives,
A dua had its rewards on the day of judgement.

See how beneficial our lord is???

Ridha's Past starts:

"One additional sheet, Mam", Ridha stood by her desk and asked to the hall supervisor. She looks over the same desk where she find no one seated on it unlike yesterday. She engulfed at the thought that he might be absent due to some reasons. By the time, she failed to realise the staff who is staring at Ridha. Soon she took the sheet from her and continue to write her last term exam.

While leaving the exam hall, she urged to ask his copied friend about Ahmed's absence by looking at the Ahmed's desk. When his friend throw a confused look at Ridha, she suddenly turned outside and left the hall. She wondered why she felt a little ache in her heart in his absence. She consoled her heart not to think about Ahmed anymore. But her heart defeated her mind.

'Has he did something for my last words near the street yesterday? What if he did something? If that is the truth, I could not forgive me. Or did he gets upset because of me so that he avoided to meet my gaze in the exam hall today? No, how come he can take leave for the term exam. So it's not possible. Or something happened to his relative? Or What if he had fever? Anything it might be. He has to be fine, Nothing should happen to Ahmed'
With that, she ended up her mind from overthinking and left her worries to Allah.
