IN BETWEEN TWO POSSIBILITIES
1998 11-12 November-December 18 IN BETWEEN TWO POSSIBILITIES (82) The Prophet often used to pray: “O turner of hearts, keep our hearts firm in faith.” Having heard him repeat this prayer on many occasions, Prophet’s wife, Aishah once asked him, “Prophet of God, why is it that you offer this prayer so often?” The Prophet then explained to her, “Everyone’s heart is in between two of God’s fingers. When He wish to set a man’s heart straight, He does so, and when he wishes to set it awry, He does so.”
