Assalamu Alaikum.

Please accept my apology for wasting your valuable time.

So many things happened in these days that we dont know or even we dont have time to know. We are very busy. Everybody is running so fast to survive in life.

I was also running fast. 2 years back, after my marriage, I quit my Job and started business for better future. It was hard to run family by my earnings and repay my debts. At that time, my debt was $10,000.

When I started my business, I had not so much capital in hand. My newly married wife gave her full support that what is going to be happened she is ready to face that with me. My mother prayed for me. My father and in laws also prayed me. Both the family prayed for me to the Almighty Allah... cause other than pray they did not have anything to give me. You know, in a middle class family, what else they can do? I used to tell them at that time, "dont worry... I believe in Allah... He is the Almighty... He shows the way to those who start walking in the path of Almighty Allah... I will start business with a good intention... and this was the profession of our Great Phophet Hazrat Muhammad (SW)... InshaAllah I will survive..."

I started my business.

2 of my best friends who were with me when I started the business. They told me they will invest what amount of is required. But they just need some time to arrange the money. I've started the business by lending money from bank and lending from some people.


I was running my business.

Yes, it was a little slow, but the business was running. But those 2 friends were opened their face bit by bit.

They told me to give less weight to customer ... I said NO
They told me to mix bad quality stuff with good quality... I said NO
They told me to put duplicate products in brands bag ... I said NO
They told me to avoid taxes... I said NO
They took Alcohol and spent nights with girls... I said NO
Finally they told me to import outdated baby food and market them by mixing chemical ... and I said... NO

They both left me suddenly... they made this plan without informing me and left me.... and made plan to destroy my business.

Both of them are very much successful today. They are doing very good business. 1 of them slaughter 4 cows and the other slaughter 3 cows in this Eid-ul-Azha. They become rich now. And successfully destroyed my business... want to know how...

They didn't invest any money at all... I owe them US$ 40,000... but they also didn't give me that money...

They are my friends... I trusted them... But we had no written documents... I trusted them.

For last 3 months... I dont have any business. I strongly believe that Allah the Almighty take exam of my Iman. I take my prayers regularly... doing Amol and dua to get rid of this pathetic time...

Almost every night ... I pass sleepless ... sometimes looking at the sky... crying... Allah... please... my lenders are getting crazy everyday... The bank people already scolding my parents... and they are doing this every day... other people call me ... if I don't receive, they call my wife... my wife... still with me... expecting this month... just put her hand on me ... and keep telling... InshaAllah everything will be ok by the grace of Almighty... I say yes...
 
I have no money now... only have $60,000 debt... still haunting for a business or a Job...

I believe in Allah... and only Allah...

InshaAllah... one day my nightmare will be over...

Dear all, Please pray for my parents, my wife, my unborn child and for me.

Allah... please forgive me...
