The Existence of God

Attributes of God carriage and took Sir Sayyad to his home. He gave him a large donation for the College. Referring to this event I said, “O God, if I don’t deserve anything on the basis of my actions, then grant me Your reward as alms for, in the Quran, You have said that just as the one who performs a good deed deserves a reward, similarly one who asks for something is also held deserving of reward. If You give not only to the person who has done something, but also to the person who is just making a request, then certainly I can hope that You will treat me accordingly.” I think that this is also an example of a dua with ism-eazaam, which God granted that I should do by His grace and mercy. So far as my experience goes, dua with ism-eazaam is not at all a repetition of words, learned by rote and neither is it a dua which one can think of in advance. This kind of dua is a direct blessing from God and it is like an inspiration which comes to one’s mind all of a sudden.
