I came accross a girl, no older than 4 years of age, Her name was Maryam. Her right side of her face was not fully formed...I had to grab onto my mum's shoulder to stop me crying...She was such a bright child, even though he was visually impaired because of one eye, she drove the go carts better than all the other children. She was so sweet I wanted to kiss her on her head so much. I'm still thinking about the child, I don't think I will ever forget about her.

I want to do something for these sorts of children. I'm going to make that my goal. To help children with disablities such as the above and help them to unlock their potential....I was looking for this sort of a goal in life, a sadaqat jaariyah that I can do as a project in the long run.

May Allah give her mother sakeenah (peace) and give the child shifaa'...I want to have children, take care of them...Love them and in return be loved by them.

I can't do this on my own...Nor am I planning to do this over night.

Just an idea...Wondering if there's anyone out there with same interests.

SubhanAllah, I love hearing things like this.

I want to share something with you in the hope that it inspires you. I had the same intentions for years but I always thought it'd be better to first make myself financially capable. SubhanAllah I was soooo wrong.

This is what happened... I rang the mosque to ask for help for someone. I was given another number. The person I rang didnt answer but sum1 else did. It was a sister. We got talking and she told me she was here for 40 days from Pakistan. She was raising money for the charity she works for. The charity provides prosthetic limbs for disabled children and does other work for widows. This sister is a widow too and here she was all alone in the UK for the first time, going around door to door raising money. She wasn't just here in Birmingham but was travelling to other cities too.

To say I was impressed is an understatement. I realised that if I wait until I succeed in my own business, it might be too late to help others. This sister wasn't rich yet she was still achieving what many of us want to. I realised that it's possible to make things happens without a huge bank balance. And alhumdulillah I am going to take a leaf out of her book and do the same.

What you can do is set up a registered charity and start fund-raising. Or alternatively, you can find an organisation that are doing similar work and raise funds for them in the UK.

Honestly, by seeing this sister it's reinforced my belief that if we have a good intention then Allah will always help us find the way to see it through.

Don't give up bro. These are the things that make our lives worthwhile. And if there's anything I can do, please let me know.

Masha'Allah. Perseverance at it's best.

I am not going to linger...As soon as I get a few obstacles out of my way I'll be onto it ASAP Insha'Allah.
