Did you know that 80% of visual impairments are curable?
Alhamdulillah if you are able to read this you have been blessed with sight. Just think how limited your life would be if you were unable to see? Blindness is the partial or full loss of sight in your eyes. There are currently over 35 million people who are living with blindness.
So where do we stand as individuals in the care of our Ummah who are facing such trials in this Dunya and what are our responsibilities?
Abu Salih reported: “Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, was committed to an old, disabled blind woman who lived on the outskirts of Medina. At night he would draw water for her and manage her affairs. When he came to her one time, he found that someone else had preceded him and taken care of what she needed. So, Umar came to her more than once, lest someone come to her before him, and he lied in wait. He found that it was Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, who had already come to her; he was Caliph at the time”.
