In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with
Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah
guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one
can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness
that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
An Orphans Eid
It was the day of celebration and a day of rejoicing. There was an air of
festivity in the streets of Medina. All the people, both young and old were
dressed in their best clothes, especially for this special day of Ramadhan Eid.
As it was time for early morning Ramadhan Eid prayers everyone made their way
to an open piece of land on the outskirts of the city of Medina.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) arrived and led the prayers. After they had finished
they all greeted each other and everyone was walking back home. The children
running and playing in excitement, smiling and laughing, without a care in the
world.
As Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) walked back home, he suddenly became aware of a
little boy sitting by himself on the side of the path.
The little boy was crying and looked very sad.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) bent down and patted him on the shoulders and asked
"why are you crying?"
"Please leave me alone" sobbed the little boy.
The boy didnt even see who was talking to him.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) ran his fingers through the boys hair and very
gently and kindly asked him again why he was crying.
This time the boy said, "My father was martyred fighting, and now my mother has
married again and my stepfather does not want me to live at home any more.
Today is Ramadhan Eid and everyone is happy. All the children have new clothes
and nice things to eat, but I don't have any clothes except what I am wearing.
I have no food and I dont even have a place to live"
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to him, "I know how you feel, I lost both my
mother and father when I was a little boy."
The boy was surprised to hear that it was an orphan who was comforting him, and
when he looked up to his great surprise it was the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and
he immediately jumped up to his feet out of love and respect.
Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) was the benefactor of mankind. He felt sorrowful on
listening to the pitiable tale of the boy.
He patted him affectionately and asked, “Would you like to have me as your
father, Aisha (R) as your mother, Ali (R) as your uncle and Hasan (R) and
Husain (R) as your brothers?â€
The boy was dumb-founded for a moment.
Then he said, “Why not, Oh Rasoolullah?â€
After that, Rasoolullah (Pbuh) took the boy to his house. Hazrat Aisha (R) felt
happy to see the boy. She gave him a cold water bath, dressed him up in new
clothes and fed him to his heart’ content.
The boys happiness knew no bounds. He ran out of the house to join and play
with other children. The boys quizzed him, “You were so dirty a short while
ago. How come you are so well-dressed and happy now.â€
The boy replied! “I was hungry and thirsty. Rasulullah (Pbuh) fed me. I was
an orphan, but now, Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is my father and Hazrat Aisha is my
mother. I am no longer an orphan.â€
When the boys listened to his detailed account, they gasped and exclaimed with
one voice, “Oh lord! Had our parents got killed in the Jihad, we would have
also got such humane parents.â€
Really, Eid seemed to be much more pleasant to the boy, who had got new parents.
Moral: We should think of others that are less fortunate than ourselves on this
beautiful day of Ramadhan Eid.
Not everyone has such a wonderful day.
It is a day of celebration, but take a moment to stop and think of those who
are less fortunate than ourselves by following the Sunnah of our Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh).
