What goes around...

What goes around come around. As Allah has willed it.

A few days ago, I gave someone some financial assistance even though at that time, I had very little on me. I asked my husband for his permission before I did that; he asked me to go ahead with my intention if I could afford it. If that were the only consideration, then I certainly needed the money. There were some commitments I had to meet and the money was meant for them.

However I did not feel 'nice' thinking about the matter. Yes, it was a small amount but a small amount was what I had, too. I could not stop thinking if I were in that person's shoes and no one came to assist, how would that make me feel. If that were any of my children, and similarly no one could help them out although they have the means to, then what?

So I gave the person most of what I had. As for my own commitments, well, I still have some time to work on that. And the rest, I left to Allah swt.

Two days ago, Allah swt gave me back what I gave that person. And more. Literally. MasyaAllah, I am still at feeling blessed.
