A Tale That Instills Hope in Those Experiencing Loneliness

Once upon a time, in the town where Hz. Abdul Qadir Gilani resided, a father sought everywhere in hopes of finding his lost son. The absence of his son was opening a wound in his heart every moment, consuming him. He constantly mentioned his son's name in his prayers. The lodge he visited every evening to pray and renew his morning supplications had become a remedy for his soul. One evening, while praying at the lodge, he heard an extraordinary voice. Many people gathered there. The voice, from an angel, said, 'Your son is trapped somewhere, but because you are praying, I will rescue him.' Upon hearing this, the father was filled with hope once again. Master Gilani prayed again, and the next day, the lost son was found spontaneously. When the son returned to his father, he narrated the very difficult times he had experienced. From that day on, the father found a reminder for himself to never forget the importance of praying every night. There is a response to people's prayers; one only needs to be patient. This was the wisdom of Gilani. It is a lesson and a reminder that everything lost can be found again through prayer.
