Islamic Parables - The Sacrifices of the Ten Promised Paradise (Aşere-i Mübeşşere)

A Tale That Will Instill Patience in the Impatient

Hz. Abdurrahman, in the early days of Islam, always prioritized his responsibility towards his community. One day, he sees an elderly woman struggling in the street. This woman was in a dire situation to sustain her life. Hz. Abdurrahman immediately decides to help her. Although his friends oppose this assistance when they hear about it, Hz. Abdurrahman listens to his heart and makes every sacrifice to meet the needs of the woman. While saying, 'My wealth is a blessing that will suffice not only for myself but also for the needs of this community,' he concretely demonstrates that he shows love and compassion for others, beyond individual interests. This story illustrates that the good deeds he performed in accordance with Allah's pleasure open the doors to Paradise.
