| They believe in Allah and the last day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and they strive with one another in hastening to good deeds, and those are among the good. [Holy Quran 3.114] |
Helping Without Expectation Of Reward
by Khaja Mohideen
We must not discriminate against people on the basis of whether they are close to us, or not. We should be equally generous with everyone. When we have prepared food, we must not be in a hurry to eat. We must wait to see if someone turns up, with whom we can share our food.
Look at the crow. Does a crow ever eat anything, without summoning all other crows? The moment it finds something to eat, it calls out to its kin. If a bird can be so concerned about the welfare of other birds, can we, human beings, not be more considerate?
Diseases and sorrows are kept at bay by our generosity.
