# And for a moment…

And for a moment I wondered why I help other people so much. Maybe I should think of myself a little more, I said. Right then a message arrived on my phone: A Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. He does not wrong him or leave him alone. Whoever meets his brother’s need, Allah meets his need.
