Touched by Angel - Surah Maun

Listening to Tafseer of Surah Maun is so beautiful while I drove home.

This short surah that comes to our memory almost in a flash has strong emotions and warnings, that we might not even notice them in our prayers.

But perhaps the most striking emotion that I got from this chapter of the Quran is from its last word (which also is the name of the Surah)
- Al Maun 'small kindness'.

Imagine a kid playing with her 300 crayons with all shades of blue from light, navy, sky, ocean, sky etc. Yet she refuses to share one blue when another kid ask her.. this is small kindness we miss so often in our life.


By sharing a single piece of crayon from the enormous set, we may not even notice one that it is missing but imagine the immense rewards we would achieve from Allaah.

The kid is innocent and would not be held to account. But where would you stand?

Reflecting on this surah and al-maun, I was reminded of the some efforts and lots of hope has created LITTLE CHARITIES. I sincerely hope to make difference in few lives with this project, bi ithnillah.
