“Helping others……means helping yourself.”

“Helping others……means helping yourself.”

My wife, after a tragic battle with cancer, had died few months earlier. I held a part-time job, which barely generated enough money to feed my children. Days were really badly going.

One day I had only four dollars in my pocket, I was on my way to the supermarket to purchase milk & bread. The children were hungry. As I came to a red traffic light, I noticed a young man, & woman & a child sitting on the roadside. The blistering noon day sun beat down on them without mercy. The man said that “I Will Work for Food." The woman stood next to him. She just stared at the cars stopped at the red light. The child, probably about two years old, sat on the grass holding a one-armed doll. I noticed all this in the thirty seconds it took for the traffic light to change to green. I wanted to give them a few dollars, but if I did that, there wouldn't be enough left to buy the milk & bread. Four dollars will only go so far. As the light changed, I took one last glance at the three of them & sped off feeling both guilty (for not helping them) & sad (because I didn't have enough money to share with them).
As I kept driving, I couldn't get the picture of the three of them out of my mind. The sad, haunting eyes of the young man & his family stayed with me for about a mile. I could take it no longer. I felt their pain & had to do something about it. I turned around & drove back to where I had last seen them. I pulled up close to them & handed the man two of my four dollars. There were tears in his eyes as he thanked me. I smiled & drove on to the supermarket. I thought- what if I only got milk alone, or just the bread…..?

I pulled into the parking lot, still thinking about the whole incident, & yet feeling good about what I had done. As I stepped out of the car, my foot slid on something on the pavement. There by my feet was a twenty-dollar note. I just couldn't believe it. I looked all around, & picked it up, & went into the store & purchased not only bread & milk, but several other items I desperately needed. I never forgot that incident.

It reminded me that the universe was strange & mysterious. It confirmed my belief that Allah is great. I gave away two dollars & got twenty in return. On my way back from the supermarket, I drove by the hungry family & shared five additional dollars with them. It seems that the more we give…..the more we get. It is, perhaps, one of those universal laws that say,

"If you want something…...you must first give something."

Most times, we think that we don't have anything to give. Yet, if we look more closely, we'll see that even the little we have could be shared with others. Let us not wait for a time when we think we'll have lots & then we'll give. By giving & sharing the little we have, we open up the store house of the universe Permit Rivers of good to come our way.

Don't take my word for it. Just honestly try to give & you'll be surprised at the results. Generally, the returns do not come back from those we give to. It comes back from sources we could hardly imagine. Take a chance on this universal principle & Take a chance on yourself too.

No Doubt Universal principles always work…..! Sometimes the return from giving comes very quickly like above story. Other times, it takes much longer. But be assured of this: Give & you will sure receive --- & you'll receive lots more than what you have ever given.

The Law of Allah

If we human being had taken some money from someone, Before we die, we try to pay our dept any how...!

So its like that with allah also.

If we have used some money in doing good Deeds. (Naeke ne raah ma kharcha hase…)

Allah has dept on his head.



So just think a little bit…!!!

Will he keep human beings dept on his head….?

Noooo, Neverrrrr ….!!

He will return u back 100 times more then what u have used the money in doing good deeds



So when you give or help others, don't do it with a heart of fear, but with a heart full of gratitude & Happiness. Open the gates of affluence in your life by giving a little of what you have, to those who are in need.& you'll always feel Satisfied & very Happy.



“Helping others……means helping yourself.”
