I never imagined I would see a day where tens of thousands of innocent people would be massacred holocaust style with the whole world watching and some even cheering the culprit on. Shame on us! We haven't learnt a thing from history.
The world has lost its moral compass. We have an urgent need to get back on track, to distinguish between right and wrong and to navigate complex ethical dilemmas. Stop the genocide in Gaza!
Once, in a rural village devoid of a permanent Imam, a sheikh took on the role of leading the Taraweeh prayers. Every night, a different family would invite him to break his fast with them for Iftar. On one such evening, while the family was busy in the kitchen and the sheikh rested in another room, he broke his fast and soon left the residence. Shortly afterward, the husband discovered that his money was missing from the very room the sheikh had been in.
Distressed, he shared his concern with his wife, who urged him to find peace, suggesting that perhaps the sheikh was in desperate need of the money. Despite his agitation, the husband chose not to confront the sheikh. Instead, he continued to attend prayers at the mosque but refrained from speaking to the Imam.
When the next year's season of Ramadan approached, the sheikh returned to the village. The husband was hesitant to host him for Iftar, but his wife insisted, holding onto the belief that their previous loss could have been the sheikh's necessity.
As they sat down for Iftar, the man could not contain his unease. He addressed the sheikh, "Have you noticed my distress towards you, Sheikh?" The sheikh acknowledged a change in the man's demeanor. With a heavy heart, the husband asked, "Did you take my money last year?"
To this, the sheikh wept. His tears were not of guilt, but of sorrow for a different reason. He explained that on that windy day, when the window had been left open, the money had been swept around the room. In haste, he had collected the scattered notes and placed them inside the Quran for safekeeping.
The Quran had not been used since that day!

Sometimes in your lowest moments, when you least expect it, when you feel most helpless, He reveals a treasure. It could come in many forms, a helping hand, a gentle reminder, advice or even a smile. Surely when He takes something away from you, He gives you something greater in its place.
