Once upon a time, there was a man named Ina Hagadare who had many sheep. His animals began to die every day. He wondered why his sheep were dying. He decided to separate the animals into two equal parts by a fence. One part would be for Allah and the other for him. He spoke to Allah, saying, “These animals are for you. You can kill them if you want. But please leave my animals.” The next day, again his animals died. Whenever his animal died, he went to the animals of Allah, and killed one. Still, the animals kept dying. He said to himself, ‘Every time I talk to Allah, I am punished. Whenever I stop talking to Allah, I am punished. My animals are dying, no matter what I do.’ The moral of the story is that Allah does not need animals. Solve your problems yourself.
