The Power of Prayer

As Salaam Alaikum and Good Day Readers!


All Praise is due to Allah who makes all things possible.

I promised to bake a chocolate cake for my daughter who has been nagging for it for days.
However, I did not get down to fulfilling that promise due to all the other commitments, like finishing my assignment for the Internet Marketing course by UCT's Get Smarter Programme that I embarked on last year, and hope to complete successfully this month (Feb), Inshaa Allah. As well as the usual work and household chores of cooking etc.

However last night I decided that I had to bake the cake as promised and even though I realised that I only had 2 eggs, I refused to be defeated and sent my son to get some from the nearby Supermarket.

Tired and stressed I embarked on making "The Promised" Chocolate Cake and with almost every step I made dua that it comes out perfectly. God Willing.

Waiting anxiously for the timer to indicate that its baking time is complete and desperate to get into bed, I jumped up as I heared it buzzing. As I reached the oven to turn off the dials, I saw that I had put it on Grill instead of Bake. My heart just sank as I removed the cake from the oven. Although the top looked "grilled" the rest of the cake appeared normal. Still not sure whether it was going to turn into a rock soon, I continued with the cooling off process and chocolate topping this morning.

I presented the cake to my daughter and as she gulped down 2 slices without breathing, I realised the Power of Dua, Allahu Akbar! God is Great!

No matter what the circumstances, if Allah wills it, It will be!
Nothing is too big for Whom we are asking from, nothing is too small for the one who is asking.

Jumua Mubarak and Blessed Friday to All.

Yum Yum - Alhumdulilah!
