A young man was getting ready to graduate from University. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom and knowing that 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 proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box, and found a lovely, leather bounded Quraan. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Quraan." He stormed out of the house leaving the Holy Book.
Many years had passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realised his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go visit him. He had not visited him since graduation day.
As he started making arrangements, he received a phone call that his father had passed away and he has willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important documents and noticed his graduation gift lying there. He began to turn the pages.
As he read those words a car key dropped from the inside of the leather pouch. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sport car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words 'PAID IN FULL'.
How many times do we miss Allah's blessing because they are not packaged as we had expected?
