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.
