ALLAH KNOWS EVERYTHING

 Allah Knows Everything

Mr Hasan had three sons: Faruq, Abdullah and Qasim. He loved them very much. He wanted to see them grow up as good Muslims.

Mr Hasan himself was a good Muslim. He did his best to obey all commands of Allah.

One day, Mr Hasan thought to test his sons. He gave each of them some sweets and said, "Eat the sweets in such a place where no one can see you, and when you have done so, come back to me."

Faruq took the sweets and went to his room. He shut the door from the inside and ate the sweets thinking that no one could see him there.

Abdullah went to the cellar of the house and he was sure that nobody was there. He ate the sweets in the darkness of the cellar.

Qasim thought and thought about a place where he could eat the sweets without anyone seeing him. He could think of no such place. Every time he thought about a place, he remembered that Allah could see him, and he did not eat the sweets.

Faruq and Abdullah came back and told Mr Hasan about what they did. Qasim came and returned the sweets to his father saying, "There is no place which is secret from Allah, and so I did not eat the sweets."

Mr Hasan was very pleased with Qasim. he told Faruq and Abdullah to learn a lesson from their brother Qasim.

Mr Hasan also said, "My dear sons, always keep in mind that Allah knows everything and He sees everything. He is with us all the time. So we should not do anything bad, even in secret - because Allah Knows."
