It is more blessed to give than to receive

A nice Story

A student was walking one day with his professor. As they went along they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which belonged to an old man who was working in a field nearby. His work for that day was nearly done.

The student turned to the professor saying: "Let us play a trick on the man: we will hide his shoes and conceal ourselves behind those bushes and wait to see his response when he cannot find them".

"My young friend" answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. You are rich and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by the means of this poor man. Put a coin in each shoe and then we will hide and watch how this affects him".

So it was and they hid behind some bushes. The poor man finished his work and came to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting his coat on he slipped his foot into one of his shoes. Feeling something hard he stooped down to feel what it was and he found a coin.

Astonishment and wonder were upon his face. He gazed at the coin, turned it around and around looking at it again and again. He then looked all around but could see no one. He put the money in his pocket and proceeded to put the other shoe on; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.

His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless and his children without bread whom this timely bounty from some unknown hand would save from perishing.

The student stood there deeply affected and tears filled his eyes. "Now" said the professor – are you not much better pleased than if you had played your trick?"

The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before: "It is more blessed to give than to receive".

And whatever you spend for spendings (e.g., in Sadaqah – charity, etc. for Allâh’s Cause) or whatever vow you make, be sure Allâh knows it all. And for the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers, etc.) there are no helpers. (Al-Baqarah 2:270)

Kind words and forgiving of faults are better than Sadaqah (charity) followed by injury. And Allâh is Rich (Free of all wants) and He is Most-Forbearing. (Al-Baqarah 2:263)

''When we are struggling in regards to the worldly matters we should look at the people who have nothing and people who are below us, when we are struggling in regards to our religion we should like at people who are above us & people who have everything about the religion''

As we all know its friday, so after asr salaah reciting durood 80 times

wivout getting up from your place can get you 80years of good deeds and also 80 years of sins will be 4given by almighty Allah
insha'allah.

His sins of eighty years are forgiven and the reward for the ibaadah (worship) for eighty years are written for him."
(Ad Darimi)

Allahumma Salli 'ala Muhammadi nin Nabiyil Ummiyyi Wa 'ala Aalihi Wa Salim Tasleema.

اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِنِ النَّبِيِّ الأُمِّيِّ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَسَلِّمْ تَسْلِيْمًا

Allahuma Swalli a'la Muhamadin Nabiyil Ummiyi wa a'la Aalihi wa sallim taslimaa

'O Allah, shower salaat on Muhammad the unlettered Nabi and on his family and shower peace.'

Please remember the whole ummah in your special supplication's.

May Allah (Subhanahu wa'taalaa) 4give us all for our sins & may he send loads of barakah upon the ummah, may he grant us to become the best of the ummah.

Ameen

Please make dua for the people who are going through hardships & are being opressed as that is the best we can do for the time being, if we cant help the physically lets help them spiritually Insha'allah Allah subhanahu wata'ala will give us all the chance to help our people.

Jummah Mubarak to everyone, Hope you all have a day full of joy .

The fragrance of a flower only spreads in the direction of the wind, but a goodness of a person spreads in all directions.
