Kind words and comforting solace saved him

Useful Summary

It is said that a worker in a fish freezing and storage factory entered the fish storage freezer to complete his task. By chance, the freezer door closed behind him. He tried to open the door but failed, and began shouting for help. However, the work shift had ended, and no one remained in the factory. After five hours, with the man on the verge of death from the extreme cold, the factory guard opened the freezer door and rescued him.

When the factory manager asked the guard, "How did you know that this worker was still inside the factory and had not left with the other workers?"

The guard replied: "I have been working in this factory for thirty years. No worker or employee ever greeted me daily or asked about my well-being, except for that worker. At the end of that day, I did not hear his greeting from him, and I missed him when the workers left. I realized he was still in the factory, so I searched for him until I finally found him."

Allah the Almighty said: "And speak to people good [words]."

Kind words saved him. Indeed, a kind word that may seem insignificant can have a positive impact on others and may even save you. Therefore, do not belittle any act of kindness.

There is another story: A person mocked a cleaning worker, but Allah opened the doors of sustenance for the latter.

The story began when a person photographed a Bangladeshi cleaning worker standing silently and contemplatively in front of the window display of a gold shop in Riyadh.

The worker was looking at the gold pieces behind the glass with the gaze of a simple man. However, the photographer mocked him, posted the photo, and wrote hurtful words on it: "This is the limit of his gaze, looking at trash," as if poverty were a sin, or as if honorable work should be a source of shame. But when Allah wills to elevate the status of a servant, He arranges hearts and circumstances for him.

Within a few hours, that mockery turned into an overwhelming wave of anger among followers, and voices rose up to defend the dignity of this man.

A wide solidarity campaign launched by the "Insaniyat" online account began to search for the worker and honor him, not out of pity, but in recognition of the humanity that had been insulted. Thus, the insult turned into a moral test in which society triumphed and mockery was defeated. As soon as the worker was found, caravans of goodness poured in from all directions.

Gifts rained down on him: gold sets and jewelry, cash sums, modern mobile phones, food supplies, and even travel tickets to visit his family. The surprising irony was that the gold set his eyes had been admiring behind the glass became his own possession, as if destiny were sending a message: "Giving comes from Allah alone." It later became clear that this worker, whose salary does not exceed 700 Saudi Riyals, was known for his extreme honesty and compassion, as he used to deduct a small portion of his meager food allowance to feed stray cats on the street.

Wounding feelings or insulting someone are among the deepest wounds that do not heal. However, always remember that Allah does not forget kind hearts, nor does He waste the reward of those who do good.

In recent years, we advised Iran to learn from the Danish-Swedish model to develop its internal situation and to invite Gulf countries, Europe, and the United States to invest in it. However, it proved to be a backward country that lacks a seasoned minister of economy to advise its leadership. Consequently, its internal situation deteriorated, and it began practicing hostile policies against Gulf countries. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard formed secret cells in Iraq, composed of Iraqi fighters, operating in small groups of no more than ten members per cell. These cells carried out attacks using drones launched from southern Iraq, targeting Gulf states. The large factions that once formed the backbone of Iranian influence have become more vulnerable to surveillance and targeting. By neglecting the country's conditions, Iran has undoubtedly alienated its people, who are likely dissatisfied, and the regime may potentially be overthrown.
