A young man was getting ready to graduate the college. For many
months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's
showroom, and knowing father could well afford it, he told him that
was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his
father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his
graduation his father called him into his private study and told him
how proud he was to have such a fine son and also told him how much
he loved him. He, then handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Quran. Angrily, he raised his voice at
his father and said,"With all your money you give me a Quran?" and
stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book behind. Many years
passed and the young man was very successful in business. >He had a
beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very
old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. As he had not seen him
since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he
received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and
willed all of his possessions for
his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of
inheritance. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness
and regret filled his heart.He began to search his father's belongings
and saw the same Quran, just as he had left it years ago. With tears
in his eyes, he opened the Quran and wanted to read it, as he turned
the pages, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Quran.
It had a tag with the same dealer's name, who had the sports car he
had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words
PAID IN FULL.
