A $20 Deal with Allah — The Reward of a Sincere Heart

🌿 An Unexpected Trial

A girl’s car suddenly broke down on a deserted highway in New Jersey.
Unfortunately, she had forgotten her wallet, cell phone, and all her money at home.
No people, no helpers — just her and her worries!

👤 A Messiah in Tattered Clothes

At that moment, a homeless, dervish-like man appeared, sitting near a trash can.
He spoke softly:

“Daughter, do you need any help?”

The girl was frightened and quickly replied,

“No!”

He quietly went back to where he was sitting.

💭 An Offer of Help and Comfort

A few minutes later, the man returned.
He gently said:

“I’m sure you need help. Don’t be afraid — trust me.”

The girl hesitated, then explained that her car had run out of gas and she had no money.

A Moment of Sacrifice

The kind man smiled and said:

“You sit in the car and wait. I’ll be right back.”

Half an hour later, he returned holding a small bottle of gasoline.
He poured it into the car’s tank, smiled, and said:

“I only had $20 — I hope this helps you reach home safely.”

😢 A Gift of Sincerity

Tears filled the girl’s eyes. She said softly:

“Please come with me, I’ll give you your money back.”

The man smiled again and replied:

“There’s no need. Those $20 weren’t mine —
a stranger once gave them to me, without me asking.”

🌍 The Echo of Goodness Around the World

The next day, the girl shared the story on social media.
People were deeply moved and started a fundraising campaign.
Within a few days, over $100,000 were collected!
That money was used to buy a house and arrange a job for the kind-hearted man.

🌈 The Reward of Sincerity

He gave away his last $20 to help a stranger,
and Allah rewarded him with $100,000 in return.
