A Father’s Gift

A FATHER’S GIFT A father should thank God Almighty for allowing him to provide for his children. And when he cannot bestow worldly possessions upon his children, he should offer heartfelt prayers to His Lord for his children. W hen a father cannot provide material possessions like a house and wealth for his children, he often feels worthless. As a father, he has been unable to build their world for them. However, this is not a positive feeling of a father towards his children. Instead, gratitude should be the correct sentiment. A father who can offer worldly possessions to his children should be grateful to God for granting him the ability to provide. God has blessed him with hands and feet, enabling him to earn and fulfil his children’s material needs. On the other hand, for a father who cannot bestow worldly possessions upon his children, prayer is still something significant that he can offer them. He can humbly say in his prayers, “O God, I may not have been able to provide my children with what I desired, but You are their Lord and mine. Grant my children what I could not provide. Accept my supplications on behalf
