Dear Islamic Brothers and sisters! It was the habit of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen
Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam ُRadiallahu Anhu to always look out for his people; even the scorching heat of the deserts of Arabia and the darkness of the nights could not stop him from caring for the bondsmen of Allah Almighty. There are many incidents from his life that show how he cared for the people and resolved their issues. Let us listen to a few of these incidents.
Caring for a woman with hungry children
Sayyiduna Umar Radiallahu Anhu was once out on his rounds in Madinah Munawwarah at night with his servant, Sayyiduna Aslam ُRadiallahu Anhh. There was a woman present in her house with her children. At night, she had taken a pot, filled it up with water and then placed it on the stove in order to calm her children. Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam Radiallhu Ta'ala Anhu came to her aid. He carried the food supplies on his own back, then cooked them with his own hands, and fed her children. He remained there until the children fell asleep, and then returned.

My Dear Islamic Brother amd sisters! Did you see the passion of Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna Umar Farooq-e-A’zam for aiding the Ummah? Despite being the caliph and leader of the Muslims, he would still help people out by doing things for them. We too should develop the mindset of helping our family (e.g. parents, brothers, sisters) or other Mahram relatives, or any other Islamic Brother and sister, whether we know them or not.
If we come across anyone in distress, and were to aid them as much as we can for the sake of Allah Almighty, then from the blessings of this, alongside receiving rewards, we will be successful in establishing a peaceful society.
