You reminded me of a song for Garth Brooks ( motreb el janoob el mashoor)....

Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and i ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be


She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend praying that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again


Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when your talkin to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

She wasn't quite the angel that i remembered in my dreams
And i could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes to it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doing after all.

And as she walked away and i looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life.

Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

thanks for this post

There's a song by Kenny Rogers where he says something like:"sometimes we thank God for unanswered prayers.."sooooo true.
Someone told me the other day about a lebanese priest who's on TV all the time,supposedly.I have never seen him but I like something he said,he was telling people why do you get upset and annoyed and sometimes become blasphemous because God did not answer your prayer?do you think that God is 911?you call him up and he is immediately there for you?sometimes he does not want to give you what you want because He knows better!How True!

Salam ya jama3ah,

At one of the lessons we usually attend each Saturday, it was mentioned that sometimes when you ask the Lord for more money and your prayers go unanswered, that goes to prove that God loves you.
Sometimes money changes people and God likes you the way you are and he knows if you get that Million doller you are going to change (for the worse) so out of mercy God keeps that million for you saved up in other life.
Did I make sense? I hope so, it's too early for me sorry :-)

Peace

100% correct,,,,,I had a personal experience with us, where i kept ad3i and it turned out to be not a good thing 4 me....El7amdulillah always.

على الفكرة الله يستجيب الدعاء دائما اذا كان المكأل حلال, واذا كان الدعاء
في غير اذى المسلمين..."

واستجابة الدعاء تكون على عدة أشكال:

1)انو الدعاء يستجاب مثل ماهو...اللي دعيت انو يصير صار
2)يكون رد بلاء, يعني بدل مايتحقق طلبك, يكون في مصيبة تنتظرك, ولكن الله ردها بسبب دعوتك لغرض أخر

3)أو انو الله يحتسبها لك أجر يوم القيامة


والله أعلم

Great post ....you reminded me of the many stories I have on this topic.  There was this company that I applied for a job with and failed the test in translation!! That was so odd since I was "excellent" at Uni in translation and the first on my class ...I got so frustrated that I did not get the job. But little did I know that this was the best thing, that happened to me at the time...because I did not get it I got a far better job ....if Allah had answered my prayers the way I wanted at the time, I would have been still making 180 JOD per month : )  

PS: I have the habit when I Pry ( ad3i) to use words like if its good for me, please Allah give me this or that only if its good for me it gives me peace of mind that Allah holds the decision for me..

5amseh o 5meseh : )
