Be all heart. Inspired thoughts from Umar Bn Khattab – ‘Lanre Bucknor

This tough economic times is where and when we should stand by one another the most. Folks are hungry, Folks are in actual debt, folks are living on a meal per day, some don’t even know where the next will come from.

Most of us can relate to the story of Umar bn Khattab and the stone cooking woman when Umar was the khalifah. 

This is the time to stand by one another. Umar bn Khattab usually comes through and with this, he did once again.

Giving isn’t about how so much or so little you have or how much you stand to gain in return.

Giving is an attitude. A character that defines faith and depicts a heart.

Of Gold!

‘Lanre Bucknor writes from Lagos. ‘Lanre doesn’t have so much but gives when he can from the very little he owns. He wants to give more and prays he can. ‘Lanre is the same as @lordrooz on twitter and instagram.

  1. I actually wish people know the kinda blessings attached to giving.
    From another angle, I see people holding back from giving without holding back because of the happenings around nowadays. There’s the occasional situation of what one gives being used against one by fetish people. My view however is that one’s good heart will always repel any evil intention.
    Nice topic you touched on. Big ups mate

    1. You have actually said it all. The intention in the giving invalidates all evil. Giving itself help repel evil….. Whatever the case, we shouldn’t stop giving and like it is said, charity does begin at home. The prophet said, the best charity is the one done for one’s immediate family!
