Story to reflect.
The story of generosity.
Let's remind ourselves as verily in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.
There lived a young boy whose parents were very rich. Always when his parents are going to the masjid, he usually sees a young child who was with his blind father seeing at the end of the masjid, he will then give the child some money to cater for themselves.
Each day he use to do this work as a child until one-day, he did not see the child and his father for many months.
Then one-day as he was passing by the way, he saw a boy and a man sitting at the same place and he came closer to them
As he came, he saw it was the old man and his son and he looked at the man, being amazed, the man could see and was waiting for the boy.
The man said, this money you gave us each day is what had made me see today.
He was joyful and happy to see q young boy with such character.
The man then went away. Three years later, the rich boy was travelling and on his way he got struck inside a pit. And he was in the pit about to sink when he screamed, no one heard him but passing by was a man who was a hunter and heard the scream, he came to the rescue and the boy came out, it was the man he helped to see today that he used his eyes to save him from the pit of death.
A lesson indeed, being generous is a debt that will come to us one day no matter how long it takes.
May Allah grants us a grateful and generous heart. Amin
