The Blessings of God

[Zakat]

To be protected from seeing atrocities perpetrated before one's very own eyes, to me, is a huge blessing!

 

[Zakat]

To be safeguarded from toothache since a long time now!

Likewise, thankful for all the teeth I still have left!

 

[Zakat]

The ability to distinguish between good and evil.

The will to choose good over evil.

 

[Zakat]

To love Him more than myself.

 

[Zakat]

The winter season that I am experiencing.

The much lesser bitter cold of here than of there.

Warm clothing that is also comfortable to touch and feel.

The ability to wash my own clothing pretty much every day.

Water to wash myself and utensils too.

 

[Zakat]

My healthiness which no amount of money could ever replace!

Allāhu Akbar!!!

 

[Zakat]

Faith in Him above everything else!

Certainty in His Existence, and in the coming life after death.

 

[Zakat]

The abilities to breathe in and out effortlessly.

 

[Zakat]

The firm ground that we stand, sit, and walk upon.

Protection from earthquakes and from tsunamis.

I remember finding it extremely exhausting to walk upon the long and vast beach of Noordhoek in South Africa.



Stayed at Napier Street in a shelter.

Moved to District Six's other branch of same shelter some months after.



Stayed in Salt River too, having got there through from Durban. Stayed for 50 days in Pietermaritzburg before getting to Durban through Pinetown, where I stayed for a week or something at Lucas's household, a mini Zūlu village. Stayed at my aunt's in Durban for around 2 months if memory serves well, although mine is kinda faulty.



After Pinetown, Durban can be found, more to its right and very slightly lower down.



I remember staying at my aunt's in Umhlanga. What is funny is that there is a Chatsworth too in Cape Town, on the west side of South Africa, where I also stayed for nearly a year, before getting jailed for 40 days, then staying on the streets for months before receiving asylum in where I stayed for a year or something before returning back to my country via aeroplane. You would have thought that that shelter was built specially for me, five months before my birthday.

Moral of the story

Your birthplace remains your birthplace. Maybe nothing can ever replace your native country where you took birth and where you understand the language that is being spoken, except if He wills, of course!

Thanks for reading!!!

P.S.



I never got stabbed and jailed in my country but was both STABBED and JAILED there in South Africa. My stabber was never even questioned and the person who got me jailed never came to court to condemn me further. After 40 days, I was released after promising never to do that mistake again.

 

[Zakat]

The feeble memory and whatever good we hold dear to our hearts...

 

[Zakat]

To be blessed with willpower.

To be alive.

Every breath of oxygen and every exhalation of carbon dioxide.

 

[Zakat]

To have a roof over one's head.

Safety from harm.

Protection from evil and sound senses of perception.

my dear friend
what mistake did you do in Africa that got you jailed?

The "likes" from our readers here and even their apparently negative reactions sometimes, or non-reactions rather?

Wow
I never heard of a place on earth where you could get stabbed and jailed for getting angry that’s unfair

Thanks for replying!

Got stabbed for not wanting to work cuz I was sick and then had to go pray and now wanted to eat while in the morning wasn't even feeling like eating cuz I was sick with flu or something. The stabber stayed glued to his mobile phone come midday despite me asking for the keys to the boarding apartment. Shit then hit the fan.

Jailed for getting angry and causing injury to somebody who couldn't accept that what was earned was asked for somehow and despite me regretting my assault, said person still deserted me and went straight to the police station and thereafter still proclaimed love to me. Lol.

 

[Zakat]

Regardless,

Today earned maybe a third of what I would have had to save to buy cat litter.



Didn't go to work but instead went to the beach and collected sand which works just as well!

Thank you my dear friend for sharing
nobody should be allowed to stab you for anything, he should be in jail and you deserve a safer place to live, that place is not safe that’s horrible
if he proclaimed love to you after you regretted the assault then the police should not jail you without trial
maybe stay in ur parents village where family can protect you brother
Peace
