In the name of Allah the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
A few nights ago in taraweeh, the imam was reciting the portion about Ibrahim (AS) and his conversation with his father and that reminded me of my arabic teacher in my first year of studying at Qalam. I made du’a for him and went to bed. I woke up and realized I had dreamt that I emailed him and in the email pleaded with him to allow me to sit in his class for an hour everyday cos I just miss it. I love Qur’an arabic. I don’t necessary excel at it but it has been such a game changer for my faith. Plus it is like maths, mostly logical and I like maths. Alhamdulillah. Obviously there are the outliers who dont follow the rules and anomalies and those grammar things that are what they are, again, I said, mostly.
Anyways, I decided I would email him and convinced myself it was not stalker-ish at all.
Showed up the next day for Tafseer class - Al Jalalayn and it was Ustadh in the teacher’s seat. I did a double take to check I was in the right class. SubhanAllah! I was.
We were going to be having grammar lessons once a week in our tafseer class. I instantly felt so seen by Allah. And recalled the story of Musa AS when he made du’a to Allah….
The very popular…
"My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance], And ease for me my task. And untie the knot from my tongue. That they may understand my speech. And appoint for me a minister from my family -Aaron, my brother. Increase through him my strength. And let him share my task. That we may exalt You much. And remember You much. Indeed, You are of us ever Seeing."
Allah responded, “All that you requested has been granted, O  Moses! And surely We had shown You favour before…
And He mentioned a time he saved Him and it was a time he was a baby, so unable to speak and even ask for what he needed.
Allah ï·» gives us even when we do not ask. And when we do ask, He has promised to respond. So what do we have to lose with Him?
Nothing….
