بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
🖋️ Some minutes ago this morning Alhamdulillah I received a package of black ink refills. I actually ordered 50 black gel pens so I could also give some of them as gifts or as sadaqah then instead of receiving black pens I just received plastic black ink refills. While I understand they can still be useful and some of them may Inn-sha-Allah fit other pens with consumed ink, they were not exactly the products which I ordered. Anyhow I sent a complaint to that store then blocked them on Shoppe and
Inn-sha-Allah they're included in my regular Du'as against those who have stolen from us, deceived and scammed us many times. The seller could've at least sent a message prior to delivering with something like "I'm sorry but the products you ordered are unavailable. Would it be okay to send you plastic black ink refills?"
But no they just sent the wrong items.
3 lessons learned:
1] Next time Inn-sha-Allah if a customer isn't in a hurry it is advisable and recommended for them to first check the contents of a package before giving the payment to the delivery guy / courier. And if the contents received are not precisely the ones which the customer ordered then we could send a complaint to the seller and give them a bad rating. In my case Alhamdulillah I sent a complaint to their chat box but I doubt they understand simple English then I gladly blocked them after giving an awful rating, while I will never deal with such store in the future Inn-sha-Allah. Plus, regularly
Inn-sha-Allah I can supplicate against them and whoever compelled them to send the incorrect items.
2] Sometimes some amount of your money is "wasted" or wrongly spent. Instances like this must train us to stay more patient for Allah's sake and to learn to avoid dealing with unreliable individuals in the present and future.
3] Allah the Almighty dislikes some people so much that He the Most Wise has to cause those individuals to mistreat some of His servants so those wrongdoers become the recipients of those oppressed Muslims' frequent Du'as against them. Such supplications can really change and alter someone's entire destiny so be careful of oppressing anybody particularly those who seek Allah's Help and Justice regularly.
While this isn't the first time I was scammed online I was disappointed somewhat because I was truly looking forward to distributing some of those pens to some Muslims. Maybe it's Allah's Qadr and Decree that those individuals don't receive any pen from me and those sellers due to their terrible lack of good character and integrity have become the destined recipients of my frequent Du'a/supplication against them.
HasbunAllah wa Ne'm Al-Wakeel.
O' Allah As-Samee' Al-Mujeeb, whoever scammed and mistreated us in any way, teach them a lesson for their lies and injustice in both worlds. Ameen.
