Mimi told me her lecturer said, helping someone is like giving way to a vehicle on the road. Another time you need to cut in, another vehicle will give way, but not the vehicle you gave way to, for it would be far on it's way (excuse the many 'ways' here for coherence) That's why when we help someone, he might not be the one returning our help but help would come from another person.
It is said that as long as we help another person, Allah swt will always help us.
What is happening to our mother earth? My heart had just recovered from watching the Haiti earthquake aftermaths, now I watch Pakistan hit by the horrendous floods. Yesterday's news showed the seas and rivers joined up and flowed into the lands, submerging everything in its way. How the waters raised and where did all this water come from? Millions of people's lives and livelihood destroyed. Millions and counting.
How long would it take to put their lives back together again? How much money would they need? How would they be living through all this? We see them fighting and hitting each other for food. Scraping fallen grains on the ground. The victims getting sick and ill. My heart bleeds again. It is like a smaller version of the floods during Prophet Noh as, don't you think?
In this holy month of Ramadhan lets do our bit and donate to them what we can spare. For every donation or sedeqah for the cause of Allah, Allah will double in folds.
Firman Allah :
Perumpamaan orang-orang yang menafkahkan hartanya di jalan Allah adalah serupa dengan sebutir benih yang menumbuhkan tujuh butir, pada tiap-tiap butir, seratus biji. Allah melipat gandakan (ganjaran) bagi siapa yang Dia kehendaki. Dan Allah Maha Luas (kurnianya) lagi Maha Mengetahui. (Surah Albaqarah ayat 261)
Allah also grants the doas of those who fast. Let us doa for them for survival, strength, and sustainance. Amin ya Rob.
