Serving the people, the comfort of heart

 Serving the people, the comfort of the heart

    It is an infallible law of nature that trees do not eat their own fruit. The sun does not use its rays. Flowers spread their fragrance and make the heart and mind fragrant. The moon scatters the moonlight in the horror of the dark night and awakens the flame of love in the hearts and the river does not drink its own water. Helping others is real life.

    Whoever serves God's creatures, God blesses his age, sustenance, and affairs.

If he touches the clay, it becomes gold. Success becomes the slave of his house and Allah Almighty puts the love of this person in the hearts of the people.

    Suleiman al-Rajhi is just as fortunate. Suleiman the Magnificent is one of the 20 most generous people in the world.

    A palm grove in the Saudi city of Al-Qassim has more than 200,000 palm trees.

    This garden is dedicated to the way of Allah by Sulaiman Al-Rajhi. There are 45 types of dates in this garden. The annual production of this garden is 10,000 tons of dates. Iftar is arranged in Sharifin.

    Suleiman al-Rajhi opened his eyes to poverty. He was a student of the school, so the school organized a leisure tour in which there was a riyal fee for participation.

    There was a camp of poverty in the house. Where would a riyal come from in these circumstances? Before Suleiman al-Rajhi took a position in the class before the recreational tour, a Palestinian teacher gave him a riyal reward. Suleiman held the riyal in his hand and looked at the teacher with grateful and tearful eyes. The teacher's kind face was preserved in his memory and heart.

    He ran to the officer holding a riyal in his hand and paid the fee.

    Months and years passed in the ticking of the clock. After completing his education, Suleiman started working in a small room in Jeddah by giving a bank job. Within a few years, there was a network of banks in Saudi Arabia called Al-Rajhi. Survived and Suleiman al-Rajhi became one of the richest people in Saudi Arabia.

    Suleiman remembered the Palestinian teacher every moment of his busy life. Suleiman al-Rajhi met the teacher, he was retired. It was also impossible to keep in contact. 

 

    Suleiman's heart wept tears of blood when he saw the plight of his benefactor. He put the teacher in the car and said I am indebted to you.

The teacher said, "Who can I owe to the poor?"

Suleiman al-Rajhi reminded the teacher that as a child you gave me a riyal reward for the fulfillment of an uncomfortable wish.

The teacher smiled and said you want to return that riyal to me.

    Suleiman said that from today this bungalow and car are for you. I am also responsible for your daily expenses. Tears came to the eyes of the Palestinian teacher and he said that this car and bungalow are more than one riyal. Suleiman. "When you gave me a riyal as a child, I was even happier," al-Rajhi said.

    Suleiman al-Rajhi called his children, wives, and relatives in 2010 and distributed all his property among them, and dedicated his share of the property.

    Sulaiman al-Rajhi's endowment is worth 60 billion riyals. Sulaiman al-Rajhi donated 170 million riyals for the coronavirus and donated two of his hotels in Makkah to the Ministry of Health.

    Allah Almighty does not waste such a benevolent and generous-hearted person and gives him priceless sustenance, honor, and contentment of heart. The number of employees is more than one and a half million. Sulaiman Al-Rajhi has established da'wah centers and charities in every city of Saudi Arabia which are dedicated to the service of God's creatures.
