ALLAHU AKBAR!🙏🙏👇
Young and talented Gwani Musa Salihu Auwal has memorized the entire Qur’an and written it completely by hand.
A remarkable achievement that reflects a deep connection with the words of Allah. May Allah bless him and make the Qur’an a light and guidance in his life.
Algerian journalist and renowned Arab television presenter Khadija Bent Qenna once shared an unforgettable experience from her visit to the United States.
After finishing her shopping at a large supermarket, she was waiting in line to pay when she noticed a Muslim woman in hijab pulling a large box apparently containing a lawn mower back into the store. The woman looked exhausted after what seemed to be a long journey.
She approached the cashier politely and explained that she had purchased the machine the previous day along with several other items.
The cashier assumed she wanted to return it and asked if there was a problem. She then mentioned that if the same item had been found at a lower price elsewhere, the store's policy allowed for a price adjustment with proof.
The Muslim woman gently replied, "None of those reasons apply. Yesterday I paid for all my shopping by credit card and drove nearly two hours back home. When I checked my receipt later, I realized that although I had taken the lawn mower, I had never been charged for it."
The cashier was left speechless. She embraced the woman and, holding back tears, asked, "What made you drive four hours round trip and take time off just to return?"
Her answer was simple:
"Honesty."
She then explained that Islam teaches believers to safeguard trusts, fulfill responsibilities and remain truthful even when no one is watching.
The cashier immediately informed the store manager. After hearing what had happened, the manager gathered the staff and many customers also came over to listen. Everyone wanted to know what inspired such remarkable integrity.
The woman answered their questions by explaining how Islam encourages honesty, justice and accountability before God.
Deeply moved, the manager offered to let her keep the lawn mower as a gift. With gratitude and humility, she declined, saying that earning Allah's pleasure meant far more to her than receiving a free machine. She insisted on paying the full amount, thanked the staff and quietly left the store.
Many of the customers watched in admiration as the woman walked away with dignity, her smile reflecting the beauty of faith and sincere character.
Khadija Bent Qenna later said that witnessing this incident filled her heart with pride for being a Muslim and made her thank Allah for the values Islam instills in its followers.
This story reminds us that two qualities elevate a person's status in this world and, by Allah's mercy, may become a means of success in the Hereafter:
- A sincere consciousness of Allah (Taqwa).
- Excellent character and honest conduct.
May Allah bless us with both.
