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

00:00:14--> 00:00:59

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

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
