The Afternoon Encounter

An incident today left a deep mark in my mind till now, from a chance encounter with an elderly man who was partially blind and walking with a a white cane. It was zuhur, and I had just bought my sandwich when I met him, asking me for directions to a nearby surau which was 7 blocks away. 

As we reached the place he asked me to wait, before rummaging through his bag and handed me a paper filled with some Islamic reminders. "Kita tak buat dakwah dengan bercakap pun takpe; cukup dengan tulisan." MasyaAllah.. Was really struck by how determined and passionate he is in sharing good words, no matter his condition. Caused me to reflect on my own lacking self too. May Allah reward him bountifully and keep him in His care, always.
