Though decades passed away but I vividly remember, It was a pleasant evening and I had just finished

my Salah and was about to leave for home. At the gate of mosque I saw a person with moist eyes
pleading for some relief to the mosque head. When the person left I enquired about the cause, on
hearing which, I was taken aback. All his money was spent on his son's education, who was now living a
lavish life abroad. His son had left him and now he had to marry his daughter on his own. On hearing
this I couldn't resist and went to help him. I gave him what I could have.
Years passed and life continued. I was a government employee and was very badly treated for being
honest and for becoming a hurdle to other corrupt officials. I was implicated in a false case and was put
under suspension. I couldn't sleep for many nights, crying and asking Allah is this what I get for being
honest ?!
Months passed away in distress. One day I received a letter, it was from a Judge , inviting me to his
office . I was perplexed, why a Judge wants to meet me. With this curiosity I reached to his office the
very next day. Judge welcomed me with a smile on his face, offered me some tea and told me to relax. I
was completely overtaken by curiosity. Few minutes passed away and he told me in a mild voice, you
have been implicated in a false case, right ? I was shocked, how come he knows that I have been
implicated in a false case. I answered in a hesitating voice, Yes Sir.
He told me nothing to worry about as government is losing the case and judgement will be pronounced
in your favor. When my curiously reached at tipping point, he asked me with a smile on his face, you are
the person who helped a man years ago to get his daughter married? I nodded in affirmative.
He said I am the son of that woman which you helped in getting married !!
