Ramadan Mubarak : Chronicle 14

I’ve just finished listening to today’s chronicle. It’s just after Fajr here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I like starting the day by listening to your wonderful talk just after Fajr’s prayer.
I enjoyed today’s chronicle as it served as a great reminder.
I have been told by many close to me that I give too much: of my money and my time to my own expense, and that I don’t treat myself.
Sometimes I end up believing it, but i’m glad this reminded me that its’ never enough.
Often when I make arrangements to give charity to needy people back home, some of my relatives often get involved by telling me it’s either too much or the person isn’t really in need or recommending someone else’s.
Now I’ve started following my niece’s advice: asking those who act on my behalf to put the money in an envelop and not disclose the amount, this way it prevents this from happening.

I’ve been delaying money I meant to send to Palestine during this month of Ramadan, but listening to your chronicle this morning has just motivated and given me a reason to act on it today. I put it on my agenda and plan to follow up on it today after work InChaa Allah.

Thank you again for being an great inspiration to all of us.
May Allah reward you.
