#40daysofkindness - Day 2 : Today, someone was very rude to me and said very hurtful things... But I remembered a story, that kept me from replying back to that person. Instead I thought, may be she had a bad day, it happens to all of us. Or may be, shes tired, or it could be that, without knowing it, I did something that pushed her to act such... So I said Im sorry if I did anything that pushed you to say that... or may be you had a bad day, or youre tired? Is there anything I could do to help you feel better?, and she looked at me, astonished and regretful, and said Im so sorry... ... - Let me share that story then, and I quote it from this MUST-WATCH lecture of Sayed Ammar Nakshawani on the biography of Imam Hussain (44:02), https://youtube/watch?v=33el2YX3-_Y : Imagine when your father has died and someone comes to you, from Syria, he sees you, he says, - Whats your name? - Hussain - Son of who? - Son of Ali ibn Abu-Talib - May Allah curse you and curse your father Ali. If someone talked to you like that how would you reply back to him? Imam said, - Is the wind of this area hurting you..? Or may be youve had a disagreement with your wife? Is there a shelter for you to stay in? Or has no one provided you with clothing? Please come and stay at my house if youre a stranger in this area? That man, Ussama bin Mustalaq, started crying. He said, - Aba abdillah I cursed you and your father in front of you, and this is the way you reply back to me by making your house available to me ? - This is the family of Rasulullah and the way we treat people. People may come and curse us but we come back with morals because our grand father, the Prophet Mohamad, came to perfect the morals of mankind. - Im doing the #40daysofkindness as we are commemorating the death of a man who stood for humanity and justice, Hussain, who inspires me to be caring to all of humanity.
