Just another everyday scene:
Someone busy with his work — on the road, at a small shop, under the open sky.

I paused for just 3 or 4 minutes while walking by…
And in that moment, I quietly thanked Allah Almighty for the kind of work I get to do at my desk, in my office.

That man isn’t any less than me by nature — he was simply chosen for that place and that tough grind.

And I wasn’t born into privilege because of any personal merit.
It was Allah who blessed me with the family that raised me, taught me, and groomed me — and gave me the values and education that led to this job and social standing.

So please — say Alhamdulillah.
At least once, every day

For the place you’re in.
And for the place you could have been… but aren’t.
