Maryam Amir – When Others Pray For You

			You might not feel like you're
doing enough, feeling like you
		

			should be doing more as a
believer, but listen, Ibn Qayyum
		

			said, there might be 10s of people
knocking on the doors of heaven as
		

			you are asleep, praying for you
because of someone that you helped
		

			when they were sad, you made them
happy when they were distressed,
		

			you relieved them when they were
suffering economically, you
		

			supported them, and you might have
even completely forgotten that you
		

			did that action, but they keep on
praying for you. My friend, when I
		

			was studying in Egypt, a lot of
people would come up to her and
		

			ask her for financial support, and
she couldn't give money to
		

			everyone, but she would always ask
them about how they are, and that
		

			made them feel seen. He started
asking her, what can we make? A
		

			dua for for you. She said that
every prayer that they made for
		

			her came true. You don't know what
you did for someone 10 years ago,
		

			five years ago, three months ago,
that you completely forgot about,
		

			but God witnessed it. He is a
Shakur, the appreciative, he's
		

			grateful for what you do. So even
when you're looking like you're
		

			the worst person in the world,
maybe you've done something to
		

			support someone, and maybe God has
written your forgiveness because
		

			of it.
