Lauren Booth – This Man Was The Answer To My Prayer

			But here is exactly where it hit me. That average high street in London
		

			I was struggling with my shopping. I put the bags down in Camden Town defeated. I asked Allah for
someone to help me as I can't do this alone, before I could even pick the bags up. The hooded voice
next to me said Salaam xante. Can I help you inshallah and he picked up my heavy bags of groceries
and basically walked off in front of me, Bill out told me he was on his lunch break. And as I was
lost, he would walk me all the way to the bus stop. He was so shy, he hardly looked at me. But at
the same time, he was so polite. He was just on a mission to do a good deed. I'll wait for the bus
to make sure you're okay. He said, As if I wasn't in a high street in daylight as if I was a woman
		

			and needed some kindness during her day. When the bus came and I went to take my bags from him on
the steps. He shook his head, holding up the bus from leaving in order to put the bags in the
correct spot. Then he told me the deep reason for him giving both his time and such a level of care.
Excellent in nature, it was for the sake of Allah auntie, no need to thank me. I watched him walk
away, and I had tears in my eyes. This small two are answered on a cold London St. instantly made me
grateful on two levels, you and I are in permanent need of his help. And I was grateful to that my
hijab once again, performed one of its silent duties, its assigned to Muslims and non Muslims, that
		

			a believer is wearing it. There was a good chance I wouldn't turn around and say How dare you aren't
as strong as any man? Who do you think you are? Instead he saw a believing woman in need, providing
him a blessing dropped into his hands in his lunch hour. And me. I saw a dua instantly answered by a
person trying to do good. If sad, I'll miss my lunch break. I'll tell wait for the bus. I'll help
her load on the bus. I won't ask anything because it's all from her. And these are the choices that
we have. When we go out every day. The Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him mentioned
that one of the main purposes of his mission for humanity was to perfect good character. Allah bless
		

			you. Bless us all and give us good guidance. Insha Allah
