pay double amount of money. The man asked: Will you really pay me so much? They replied in the affirmative. The man sold the second pearl for twofold price [i.e. for 60 mules loaded with gold]. (Allah Walon ki Baatayn, vol. 4, pp. 14)

Allah Almighty solves the problems of His bondmen by His mercy. Let’s listen to a blessed verse in this relation:

Of course, father is the honourable person by looking after whom a son deserves Paradise. He also knew it that wealth is temporary. If wealth is lost, there is no problem but the privilege to look after
