I do not know much about it. But my late mother used to do this.If something wrong happened or if was going to happen and did not actually happen,for any bad dream,if something good happened: she used to give money the poor. I follow her and so do my kids. I have a glass jar and as things happen,I keep putting money in it. When it is full I take it to the nearest mosque for charity.
Life is not straight all the time. One problem is solved,another arises. I am always grateful to Allah and we are still alive.
( I was late for Zakat one time only, my car broke unexpectedly and fridge broke too unexpectedly. I did not complain.. I knew that Allah was reminding me and I did it immediately).

Dear Dan please accept my deepest regret on the sad loses you suffered. But please keep in mind that if you have faith in God and I mean deep deep faith, He tests you through different ways - It is said that when God loves you he puts you in trouble (to check how steadfast you are) and when He doesn't love you he opens this world to you.
 
How many times I hae seen A+ rich ppl driving in their Limos or using choppers for their personal travelling, how shiny and bright theri faces are and how expensive the clothes are they wear, but do you know that almost all of them live in fear, loss of sleep, fear to lose money, fear to sustain and bigger loss than they expected, fear to be back in the streets with the homeless, they are in perpetual scare to lose all money, status and properties and name they have made over the years.
 
However, a man who God choses lives in perfect peace even if he owns one car and leads a simple life. I have known a man who own around 20 stores in Georgia but he never had breakfast or lunch with wife and never had a good family dinner.
 
Atleast, we do have that, thanks God always for all His benedictions and bounties and pray to endless blessings. So if you are falling in the later category, you are good.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and help.

Hearing all this makes me realize just how lucky I am.  I can always think of negative and forget all the good G_D has given me.

This also makes me think does Islam have a story of Job as the Holy bible does.

So hard G_D and Satan tested him, I cannot imagine trying to go threw that.


Again thanks everyone.
