Most people with a caring nature and good values, would happily give a helping hand to anyone in difficulty, even if they wouldn`t personally know who the other person is. Sometimes without even thinking of it having any consequence for themselves in the future.
Are You Careful Who You Help?
As time has become more rough and many people are in difficulties nowadays, many people with good intentions of helping others, are experiencing corruption in many cases. Many examples are known from the media, were good and caring people help others in need and are in return either hurt or somehow criminals steal their belongings. Leaving them in worse case, than if they would`ve not cared and just walked away, like they didn`t see that someone needed help. Since the rise of corruption is at its peak, many good people are now very aware of the fact that they have to be careful who they trust and help. Giving a helpful hand, is not the same as for a few years ago. The consequence is of course that people who are entitled of help, doesn`t get any help they need. Because we don`t know if they are true/sincere. So we choose to do a background check before we send any money or give charity through any company. We don`t always know if the money is truly being utilized where it was sent for.
Ulterior Motives For Helpfulness
When our parents bring us to life in this world. They do not bring us in order to make us dependent of them. Most parents want us to be able to live a good life and be independent. If we are too dependent of them, one day when they no more, we would have difficulty adapting to this. Their goal is to raise children who can contribute positively to the community, muslims and non-muslims. If a police-woman sees a man wanting to take suicide from a bridge, and she manages to talk him out of it, believing that he has a purpose in life, even though it looks a bit dark right now, doesn`t mean that the police-woman had ulterior motives for being helpful. It is her duty. So when some people help other people, because of their softheartedness, believe in the good in them. Most of us are just practising the life of our Prophet pbuh. We can`t start spinning on the idea that she saved him, because she wants to marry him or would want some money in return for being helpful.
We Want Humanity To Win
Good-natured people are helping. Although so many countries are facing severe trials. Lets not be the reason why people stop believing in goodness. A life is precious no matter whose it is. To save a life is like saving humankind, and to take a life, is like killing mankind. -Quran 5:32. Allah sees and knows those who do good. Don`t come in the way of others success. If someone has helped you through a difficult situation, just supplicating for them when you pray, would be sufficient for you to repay the favour. You don`t have to be a part of their life for it. It so happens often that when someone from the opposite gender helps us, we think they help us because they love us etc. It is important that we regain believe in kindness. Not always mistaking kindness /politeness for flirtation/love. Bottom line, kind people with a sound heart and good intentions help others out of difficulty. That`s it. Nothing more. Don`t expect or put so much in a nice gesture that because of this, people stop doing good deeds. If we get the idea that a good gesture will backfire, goodness will decrease. People falling on a sidewalk, where thousands are walking, won`t be helped by anyone. We don`t want that kind of world? We want a safe world where people help each other. No matter if anyone is rich or poor, just because we want humanity to win. If people fear for their family’s security when they help other people, they might stop helping other people in need. We don`t want such a society. Very few people are so un-selfish that they dare to risk their loved ones lives in order to save someone they barely know. Our a priority is our family. May Allah make it easy for us to practice kindness without it backfiring. Aameen.
People are still giving their condolences to the killing of jews that happened in world war 2, where (some say) that 6 million jews were murdered. Although we don`t know the exact number or if the number is correct. The jews have been given a veto in almost every case that matters them, because of this brutally killing for about 70 years ago. I do not agree with killing of any jews. But I either agree with killing of any, atheist, christian, muslim of any cultural background either. If the jews can still use the card of world war two 70 years after their war is over, why is no one paying attention to the cards of muslims which is bleeding and hurt because of its casualties at least the last 15 years or more. Why aren`t we doing anything about the muslims in Palestine, Burma, Central Africa where they are brutally killed just because they are muslims until today?
Is a muslim life of no value to non-muslims? Only if there is a casuality of their own ethnicity does the media put any preferences of the case to be put on front page of any media. Do we only want good for ourselves and have forgotten the whole humanity? Isn`t people with black or yellow color as much worth as a white person? The killing and brutality won`t stop until we want for others what we want for ourselves. Look at yourself in the mirror. Is that the heritage you want to leave to your children. As long as they aren`t killing any of our people, we don`t mind? We need to wake up. Enough lives have been killed. May Allah help us all to want the peace for all of humanity.
