If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness..........you are
more blessed than the million who will not survive
this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle,
the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of
starvation.......you are
ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend mosque without fear of
harassment, arrest,torture, or death.........you are
more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on
your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep.............you are richer than
75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and
spare change in a dish
someplace.......you are among the top 8% of the
world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still
married........you are very rare,
even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face
and are truly thankful.........you are blessed because the
majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even
touch them on the
shoulder.......you are blessed because you can offer
ALLAH's healing touch.
If you prayed yesterday and today........you are in
the minority because you
believe ALLAH does hear and answer prayers.
If you can read this message, you just received a
double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you
are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world that cannot read at
all.
If you own just one Quran.........you are
abundantly blessed. 1/3 of all
the world does not have access to one. |
