\nIn Ghana, a reporter for a Turkish newspaper was taking some video footage with a drone when it mistakenly landed in front of a poor man\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

\nThe man was delighted. He picked the drone* up and as he was returning it to the journalist, he asked,\u201dDo you have one large enough to take me for Hajj*?\u201d
\nThe reporter laughed. He took a photo of the man and posted the following image and the man\u2019s question onto his Twitter page.<\/p>\n
SubhanAllah*!
\nThe tweet* went viral* and many people got to know about the man\u2019s wish. All the readers saw was the sincere man\u2019s photo and the story.\u00a0 The story touched many hearts indeed. In one short question, the man was able to express a thought and desire that must have been growing inside of him for many decades.
\nLo and behold,\u00a0Allah* soon answered\u00a0the needy man\u2019s du\u2019aa*! Allah enabled Turkey\u2019s Foreign Ministry, some charities and sponsors to come forward. They donated money to the man whose name we now know. He is called\u00a0Al-Hassan Abdullah. And, guess what? Al-Hassan Abdullah will\u00a0perform the Hajj this year. Alhamdulillah*!<\/p>\n

Moral:<\/p>\n
Just imagine the dream that Al-Hassan Abdullah had. Can you picture how often and how sincerely he would have requested Allah to make this journey possible. He must have made many, many du\u2019aa to Allah, asking Allah to make him go to Hajj.\u00a0\u00a0It must have seemed impossible for Al-Hassan Abdullah, but he did not give up making du\u2019aa.\u00a0He had no money, no passport, no means to get out of his village. And yet, out of nowhere, a small aerial* messenger came and landed in front of his house, a harbinger* of bigger news.
\nThis story reminds us of a quote from the Quran,
\n\u201c\u2026And whoever fears Allah \u2013 He will make for him a way out.
\nAnd will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah \u2013 then He is sufficient for him…\u201d
\n(Quran; 65:2 and 65:3)<\/p>\n
Whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will provide for him from where he never suspected. Du\u2019aa is the weapon of the believer. The believer uses it to fight each and every battle, even those that seemed unwinnable. For when Allah wishes victory for you, no one can possibly defeat you. Allah will create armies for you. Allah will bring the world\u2019s people and money to your doorstep to answer your call.<\/p>\n
