REAL STORY!!:Benefits of tawakal/trust in God

Assalamualaikum...
So..my friend's laptop that i somehow thought unfixable was now saved. And  I thought im going to b in trouble. hmm. Do u guys remember the post I sent before this? Yes. About me suddenly messing my friend's laptop in Friday. I seriously hoped b4 friday i can give it back to her after i fixed it, b4 she got back of course. So..what I DID was I pray to Allah and pray and ask passionately for her laptop to be ok b4 she got back. I read in a magazine called Sinergi that if we put our trust in Allah after we work hard for our work to succeed, we will gain what we wish as long as it doesn't involve in stuffs that Allah forbids, like dealing drugs or robbing banks. We should avoid that. But if u did not get ur way, u should not give up on Allah. Remember if Allah did not gave u something, it actually means that Allah wanted 2 give u something even bigger, or maybe it is just not your day and it doesn't mean u should stop hoping. There is a surah in Quran that Allah said to Muslims to not give up and tawakal to Allah always. Don't give up on Allah's rahmat. If u are a NON MUSLIM u should know that not giving up actually works in real life too, right? Allah hates the one who gives up. Even Prophet Muhammad SAW said so. I applied all that. I lived in a hostel and I had a trouble to go out and fix my friend's laptop, so I phoned almost all of the wardens and teachers to ask for their help so that they can drive to a nearest town and fix her laptop on Saturday. Guess what? Almost all of the teachers and wardens claimed 2 be busy and in the end, no one can help. I've talked to my other friends, and they said they knew nothing about laptops. I almost give up but I remained strong. I called my father and after discussing it we agreed to take it to the nearest town  to fix it . So I did some Hajat prayers and i prayed to God even late at night. and at that time all I can do is make du'a and put my trust in Allah since i've worked hard. I now Allah did not make my prayers and constant tawakal ( relying in Allah) go to waste. The next day it turned out that the man at the computer shop can't repair it by that day, which was the exact same day my friend is coming back(at this point, she already did). The repair guy said he will sent it tomorrow at the hostel, but he also said that it was not my fault. The laptop has not updated antivirus and there are viruses in the laptop,so it is not my pendrive that causes all the viruses. I wasn't actually sure, because I accidentally turned all my friend's icons in start menu and other files into lnk.files without meaning to. So I prayed hard to Allah and tried to understand the reason behind all this, maybe God wanted me to be reliable to Him and teach me not to mess with other people's things. So I phoned my other friend in the hostel to tell the owner of the laptop that her laptop is with me, but I did not say what I was doing with it.My other friend got all worried because she can't handle the responsibility since I told her to cover up for me.So I said that IF the laptop's owner asked, just said that it is with me.I was panicked, now that the owner had reached the hostel and are probably looking for her laptop and now the repair guy said he only could finish repairing it in the morning. I had no choice. My parents told me to call H(the laptop's owner) to meet my parents so that they could explain it to her. I refused at first because I was afraid H could get mad. So i chose to do the explaining myself. I prayed hard to God and ask my other friends to pray for me as I gather up courage and remind myself that the viruses in her laptop wasn't my fault. H was confused at first why my parents wanted to meet her but as I explained, she said it is fine. I was so SHOCKED.All that worrying, but now here is my friend not getting mad at all, in fact she said it was OK. So I thank Allah gratefully and told my parents that.The next day I received the laptop but there is a catch. The icons in the start Menu hadn't changed yet. The Microsoft Word icon and all the other icons in Start menu were not changed, there all looked like Broadband icons, ALL of it! The repair guy said to my dad that he could not change it since he did not do a reformat.He only did virus cleanup. I was a bit panicked, but still I trusted God. I transferred all the icons that can't be used in Start menu(not all actually, just the one she used the most, like internet Explorer, Microsoft Office,etc.) to Dekstop. After that, I showed it to H, since I was afraid to give it earlier to her for fear that she was gonna get mad. I explained carefully to her that she can't use her Start menu icons, only the ones in Dekstop. If she wanted to do so she might have to go reformat. I also told her about the virus cleanup. She was not mad and again I am thankful to Allah. :). She asked how much do I have to pay for the repair guy and I said its ok. She thanked me for bringing it out to repair and smiled and said,"You must be paranoid about this huh," .I was like u have no idea. Anyway, the moral of the story? Be thankful to Allah and always trust in God no matter how helpless the situation is.Always keep on working and believing in God, because the most important thing is to believe in God.I know many of u guys out there won't believe it but its true. Believing in God while striving hard to success CAN lead u to victory, just like Prophet Muhammad SAW, the no.1 most  influental people in the world(its true, search for it!)did. Always remember this and you will be fine.Have any comments ask way and thank 4 visiting my blog. Be grateful to Allah always. Since then, thank you.Have a NICE day!!
Sincerely,
A blessed person:)
