Baby Fish Needs No Swimming Lessons

 Assalaamu Alaikum WRH Brothers & Sisters   
    I hope and pray you'd all be doing great by the will & mercy of our beloved creator Allah swt.

No wonder why no animal planet / national geographic channel show a Papa Fish teaching its Baby Fish how to swim. The moment the egg gets hatched, out pops the baby fish swimming instantly.

Some may claim its the instinct, and some may talk about the blue print of genes embedded in the sibling. But most of us would agree that every action occurs only by the will of our beloved creator Allah swt. Masha Allah

Its been 5 years since I moved from Overland Park, KS and had been regularly visiting my local masjid. From the Day1, I had been noticing Br. Sammer Khaleeli as a regular musalli not only using the facility for praying, but always indulging into masjid activities.

You name it, Br. Sammer is there. I've noticed him in the masjid at odd times, working on the plumbing issue, configuring the Video setup, adjusting the audio system's volume, vacuuming the carpet. You name it, he is always there.

Today, this noble soul had been our visitor with his three kids, Eman, Emaad & Eyaad. As mentioned earlier, no Papa fish teaches its sibling to swim. I noticed the same traits in Br. Sammer's children too.

They were well disciplined, listened patiently to my orientation, performed a well orchestrated help whenever it was needed. They went beyond their expectations, and helped an old 70 years Bhutanese woman by dropping her 75 lbs food supply to her house. Masha Allah.

After a day's work, one always return home bone tired, but I carry these heart warming experiences, only to jot down and share it with you all. Isn't it encouraging.

Of course, Yes.
