Darur Rehmat<br />
Saskatoon:<br />
Canada.”<br />
I would also like to mention some<br />
comments that I would receive after our<br />
new brothers and sisters were settled<br />
down, which shows the blessings that<br />
were bestowed upon them from Allāh for<br />
the sacrifices they had made in His Name.<br />
In their own words:<br />
“We feel happier, I cannot contain my<br />
smile.”<br />
“Finally, we are actually saving money.”<br />
“We are living in better conditions than<br />
we were before.”<br />
“We are able to buy nice cars and nicer<br />
clothing.”<br />
Members have commented that if they<br />
were in Toronto, or Vancouver, or<br />
Calgary, they would not be able to afford<br />
a house. However, in Saskatoon our Lord<br />
has shown His Mercy and showered us<br />
with His blessings. I am proud to say<br />
that I would sacrifice everything in the<br />
Name of Allāh, who did not wait for His<br />
house to be built before giving everyone<br />
a house of their own to live in, especially<br />
those who migrated to Saskatoon for this<br />
purpose.<br />
I urge my brothers and sisters to help us<br />
do this together. Take part in this blessed<br />
project! Join us in reaping more of Allāh’s<br />
blessings and stand with us to show the<br />
world the good that we, the blessed<br />
Jamā‘at of the Promised Messiah as , are<br />
capable of.<br />
Compared to the numerous blessings we<br />
have been given by Allāh the Almighty,<br />
this is a small task. Think for a moment<br />
and reflect on your own personal<br />
history, your life, where you started your<br />
journey, what you had then and what you<br />
have been provided with now. Would it<br />
be possible to attain all this wealth and<br />
comfort on your own? Surely, it is only<br />
by the Grace and Benevolence of Allāh<br />
the Almighty that we have this wealth,<br />
this comfort, the comfort of our children,<br />
and everything one could ask for.<br />
Despite these blessings of wealth and<br />
comfort, however, always remember<br />
that we will take nothing from this world<br />
with us when we are gone. If we can do<br />
an inkling of good now in our lives, we<br />
will be leaving something everlasting<br />
behind, which will be worth more to our<br />
future generations than the wealth of a<br />
thousand kings. They will remember us<br />
forever and they will thank us. And Allāh,<br />
in turn, will always reward us.<br />
I conclude in the words of a wise man:<br />
“Value and appreciate the people<br />
who sacrifice their something for you,<br />
because maybe that something was their<br />
everything.” To those who have sacrificed<br />
their something for the cause of this<br />
blessed project, may Allāh become your<br />
everything! Āmīn!<br />
