A Faithful Woman



A Faithful Woman

An elderly Muslim lady was well-known for her faith and for her
confidence in talking about it. She would stand in front of her house
and say "Allah be praised" to all those who passed by.

Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her
proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"

Hard times came upon the elderly lady, and she prayed for Allah to
send her some assistance. She would pray out loud in her night prayer
"Oh Allah! I need food!! I am having a hard time, please Lord, PLEASE
LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES!!"

One night the atheist happened to hear her as she was praying, and
decided to play a prank on her. The next morning the lady went out on
her porch and found a large bag of groceries. She raised her hands and
shouted, "Allah be praised!."

The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha! I told you
there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't."

The old lady laughed and clapped her hands and said, "ALLAH BE
PRAISED. He not only sent me groceries, but he made the devil pay for
them!"
