Kind heart

How do we know whether we have a sound and kind heart? 

How do we know whether this heart that will return to Allah swt is as good as how we receive them? 

Today, when I was running for a groceries, to get some fruits from a local store, upon paying, the cashier mentioned:

"Nanti akak ambil ya bekas di luar tu, percuma. Pak Mart setiap hari jumaat, kami beri dekat semua orang. Sedekah"

Then, outside of the store, reside a pao seller. A young man in his twenties. Initially I wasn't going to buy but something makes me wanted to spend. 2 cups of coconut water and 4 pao of different flavours. It totaled up to RMxx. It took sometime for him to calculate the return, and I assist. However, upon driving leaving the store, my mind suddenly hit the break. He totaled them up wrongly! I made a U turn and asked him: 

"Dik, air kelapa tadi berapa RM? "

"RM2 kak"

"Awak tak kira sekali ya? Tadi akak bayar RMxx"

"Tak pe..saya sedekah" 

I was dumbfounded. I was shocked and amazed. Allah swt showed me that there are a lot of people out there who have sound and kind heart. They know the power of sedekah. They understand the ability of Allah swt's blessing to those who give more, who give everything they can in their power to others. They know the reward that comes with it and the embrace it with love and showed them in form of  deeds with all their heart. 

Bandingan (derma) orang-orang yang membelanjakan hartanya pada jalan Allah, ialah sama seperti sebiji benih yang tumbuh menerbitkan tujuh tangkai; tiap-tiap tangkai itu pula mengandungi seratus biji. Dan (ingatlah), Allah akan melipatgandakan pahala bagi sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan Allah Maha Luas (rahmat) kurniaNya, lagi Meliputi ilmu pengetahuanNya.

Surah al-Baqarah: 261

I don't feel that I deserve these kindness, thus, kindness receive, kindness return. The ripple effect that a small act of kindness can make this world a better place. When I came back to the car, my children were amazed at the amount of food that we receive. I told them who gave them and made doa for those who helped others and shared their rizq to us. And after I left the pao stall, 2 more customers came and buy from him. May Allah swt multiply his rizq, grant him with good health and ease all of his matters. And for those who lived in Sendayan, do come to Pak Mart @ Merchant Square.
