The verses are: Q 9:128-129

movado19:
I shared this VERSE OF CONCERN by Ikupakuti with someone very close to me almost 2 years ago after he complained about everything being strenuous and stagnant in his life. This I had been aware of but for him to open his mouth and express himself the way he did, I knew that things had really choked him up!
I didn't hear back from him except for the one or two texts to say hello.
Then we spoke at length yesterday and he explained what happened after the dua was given to him.
He said despite his situation especially with finances, he still tried to save up as much as he could to carry out this dua as his mind was made up immediately he got it.
He decided to leave the township to look for those mallams who haven't been corrupt by township life and they set to work.
He decided to do 7,000x verse of concern as he felt that 3,000x was too small and 70,000x was beyond his budget and capacity.
Not long after the exercise, he said he began to receive small contracts here and there, people would all of a sudden begin to look for him to come execute some work, etc.
He said favours from Allah were just coming in unannounced.
His health even got better!

He said it's as if he never saw the verse his entire life but that's not the case - he now recites it 313x on Fridays with lots of Salawatul Rasul, S.A.W.
Now, he said his goal is to arrange to carry out the 70,000x because he did 7,000x and it's like this for him, so how would it be like after 70k?

I am so happy for him because I know how much he toiled in life.
I am sharing this to encourage us all to keep seeking Allah because people sometimes may feel that these duas don't really do anything, or they lose hope and begin to despair, etc.
Let's all be patient as Allah has continuously instructed because He promises to always be with the patient ones.

May Allah bless and keep us all under His Aamanah, Amin.

You're right that "you and me no dey for the same category". To begin with I am no delusional fantasist. I can reason properly working with verified facts, statistics and reality.

The rest of what you wrote is not worth dignifying with a response.

Please keep quiet, you first-to-comment-politics-section-hoodlum. I said he asked me in Igbo. That should tell you I transcribed his question into English for the sake of non-Igbo readers. His question and my response were both in Igbo. Anything tribal, your antenna will just stand.

She said the Leader of the hoodlum saw a strange but torturing ''fire issuing from the phone,'' while others in the team ''saw fire issuing from her head.'' In panic, the kidnappers made urgent efforts to get her back to where they had kidnapped her from. Today, she is back, safe and sound, indeed, from the land of the dead.
