You help others Allah helps you but you
heal at the same time. Did you know
that when you assist others, the fulfillment
that you get within you is something that
releases some form of whatever it may be.
I'm not not a doctor but I do
know spiritually
you are fulfilled.
To a degree that you begin to
appreciate the small favors of Allah in your
life.
And consider them large and very big.
Go and see the children crying across the
globe.
We went all over.
We've been to the Middle East. We've been
elsewhere. I've been with Abdullah aid.
And I wouldn't go and waste my time
if I thought
that there was anything
wrong
with such an organization,
such a charity.
And
the work.
Not secondhand. Firsthand.
Done.
Reaching out personally to people.
Delivering
the goods to the people.
What joy and fulfillment
I got, I can't even describe.
And yet I was there
in my own way as a volunteer.
Later on, I agreed to become an ambassador,
honorary.
To say inshallah we'll take this course, we'll
work for it, we'll actually promote it, that
the people know who and what Abdullahi stands
for, Where it came from. Who is behind
it. What they do and what they've achieved
so far and what they're aiming to achieve.
But in your lives my brothers and sisters,
it's impossible
not to have a problem or an issue
or a difficulty or hardship. It's impossible. The
reason is when Allah made you, he already
wrote your examination
paper
before you were born. And there have to
be some tough questions there. Otherwise,
it's not called a test.
Allah says we created you to test you.
If Allah says he created you to test
you, you're gonna have some difficult questions.
When you have an examination at school and
all the questions are quite easy,
what happens to
you? Even if you got a 100%, everyone
else has a 100%. So the horse and
the donkey are tied with the same rope.
Right?
No 1 knows the difference.
But when you have difficult questions, 5 people
in the whole hall got all of them
right. And now we're talking about the horses.
And a few of them didn't even know
what language the paper was written in because
they've been sleeping,
pretending like they attended all the Zoom lessons,
and they didn't.
You know what I mean?
