To give an example. I lived in an apartment. I worked a rotating shift.. Mostly swing and graveyard so I was home. I slept or ate. No way I checking how my neighbors are doing or feeling and when this one of our responsibilities as a Muslim. Doesn’t matter if your neighbor is muslim or not.

I’ll see them a the christmas party or something.. I always thought. our Apt bldg got flooded and we got moved to University housing for a month or so… We all used get meals together and talked and I actually and knew my neighbors better and moved to day shift during this time., 6 months down the line… I’m back on graveyard… No contact with anyone again. The old guy Jack, really nice guy passed away and no knew for two days till his grocery guy came to give groceries…

Too busy working and s***… What you doing do? Think and ponder and give urself grief and sorrow or tough luck and move on?

I always wanted to grow up… I never knew about responsibility when I was kid.
Responsibility is a real b****.

Jazak Allahu khayr for sharing this.
