Please Don't Forget to Say Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

Insha Allah, we will learn from this story.
=========================================

There was once a lady who always said Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim (In the name of Allah, the beneficent the merciful) before she did anything. She knew that Allah would then always be with her. One day, she put her ring in the cupboard and as usual she said Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim (In the name of Allah, the beneficent the merciful) before she put it away. She knew that it would be safe.

Her husband took the ring and threw it in the river. He wanted to prove to her that only saying Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim (In the name of Allah, the beneficent the merciful) would not keep it safe. He thought that in the evening he would ask her where the ring was and it would not be there.

Later that morning, the lady went to the market to buy some fish. When she was cleaning the fish at home she found her ring inside the stomach of the fish. She wondered how it got there but then put it back in its place in the cupboard saying Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim (In the name of Allah, the beneficent the merciful).

When her husband came back from work, he asked her where the ring was. She brought it from the cupboard. He was so surprised!

He told her what he had done and apologized to her. He also truly believed that Allah is with the person who says Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim (In the name of Allah, the beneficent the merciful) before he/she does anything.

=====================

Insha Allah, our kids will learn that it is important to say Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim everytime we begin to do something good.
