As soon as she sat on the bed after washing her hands and face, the little girl came running and said,

"Dad is bringing dates?"

Ayyub Mia looked at her daughter and said,

 "No, mother. Dates are very expensive. Izaka asked for 150 taka dates and 480 taka. How can I buy them?

I didn't understand it when I was young. He went to his mother crying upset. Ayub Mia himself was also upset. The girl likes her dates very much. It is Sunnah to eat dates on fasting days. But what to do now! that price He took a long breath.

"It's time for iftar, so come on."

He stood up after hearing his wife's call from the next room. After taking small steps, he saw Bela sitting with two hands together praying. Ayub Mia was very happy. He smiled and sat down. At the end of Bella's prayer, he asked,

 "What is Allah's prayer in prayer, mother?"

Bella said with great interest.

 "Dates. Mother said that Allah does not take back the prayer made before Iftar. The wishes of the fasting person do not fail. See, Abba, Allah will send dates for me now."

Before Ayub Mia could say anything, someone called from outside. Without letting him get up, Bela ran out on her own. Two minutes later it came back again. With a packet in hand. When he sat down and opened the packet, he saw chickpeas, onions, violets, jalapenos and several dates.

Bella's mother asked in surprise,

"Did you break the fast just before the call to prayer?"

Bella was very happy and said,

 "Uncle Kasem next door."

Tears are falling from Ayub Mia's eyes. Today is the girl's first fast. He thanked God. He who has no one has Allah. Seeing him wipe his eyes, Bella said,

 "What happened, father, why are you crying! Don't eat dates when the call to prayer is given?"
