Our Limited Conception of Divine Generosity
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
A man may pray
to God for gold and always imagine a king coming to give it. What he may never realise, as long as he
fantasises, is that whatever that king gives is limited to the hand of the
king. If God so Willed, that man would
find that even before the asking, God had Put him on a mountain of gold and the
mine was always beneath him. How foolish
the nature of man. That because he is
limited, he limits God when God is beyond limits. It is enough for the slave to ask without
dictating terms. Let God be God and let
the slave know his limits.
