There is one women named Mary a singled-mother who is so poor. She lives near a church, which she often been found there praying for her wealth. Near to the church is a lottery shop.
Every nights and days, Mary never failed to pray to her God.
"Ohh Lord, please give me some wealth. I need to fed my children. My life is so poor."
And day after day, she pray for some money to earn a living.
One day, Mary went to the town and met Lisa her closed friend.
Mary was stunned to see Lisa wearing a beautiful blouse that she really admired, but have no money to buy it. Mary meet Lisa with eagerness.
"Your cloths is so nice, where did you buy it?," asked Mary.
"I bought it at the mall. I want to wear this cloth while travelling to the State. It's school holiday by the way. Don't you like to join us Mary?" Lisa replied.
"You are going to the State? You sure have lot of money!"
"Yes, I just win the lottery!" said Lisa.
Mary went back to the church and pray to her God.
"Oh Lord, please give me some wealth like Lisa. I need to fed my children. My life is so poor."
And the next day she continue praying.
On the other week, Mary once again went to the town.
She was surprised to see John's restaurant is getting bigger.
"John, you sure have a lot of money to construct your shop," says Mary.
"Of course! I am so lucky. I just win a lottery! Maybe next time you'll be lucky too Mary," John replied.
Mary went back and day-dream that perhaps her turn to experience being wealth is so near as her closed friend's life nourish with wealthiness.
Not forgetting to pray, Mary went to the church and pray to her God.
"Oh Lord, please give me some wealth like Lisa and John. I can feel my time where you will granted my wish is so near."
And the next day, on her way to church, Mary is shocked to see her neighbor park a car in front of the house. Mary without hesitation, went to her neighbor house.
"Peter, is that your car? You sure have a lot of money to buy it," asked Mary.
"Yes, I do. I just win a lottery!" said Peter
"What? You too win the lottery??"
With fast paced, Mary went to the church and throw her anger to her God.
"I was praying to you all day long, but I get nothing! Why does you give wealthiness to those people they don't even went to church as often as me. I was here all the time, cleaning your church and pray from the dawn till the sunset. You are not being fair! I don't even been given chance to be rich and win the lottery," Mary burst out with madness.
Suddenly she heard strange voice out of nowhere whispered.
"HAVE YOU BUY THE TICKET?"
***********
Whether in Mary case or in we Muslim context of life, Allah ask us to be hardworking, to seek for wealth through righteous means. Du'a with hard work has to be together for us to achieve our glory.
Stop making resolution, start making action.
HAVE YOU BUY YOUR of course not lottery ticket.
but HAVE YOU BUY YOUR SPECTACULAR TICKET?
Commit on what you are dream of and attend this life changing event! Instead of saying I want it, say I'll do it!
