God Helps You as Long
as You Help Others

It is an ineluctable law of nature that a person receives only after he gives. By giving comfort to others, he can receive comfort for himself.

According to Abu Hurairah, the Prophet of Islam once observed that one who helps in solving others’ problems will have his own problems solved by God in this world as well as in the next. (Sunan al-Tirmidhi 1930) There is another tradition narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar according to which the Prophet of Islam once observed that one who fulfils the need of his brother will have his need fulfilled by God. (Sahih al-Bukhari 2442) Another tradition has it that the Prophet once said that God helps the servant as long as he helps his brothers. (Sahih Muslim 2699)

Those who help others and help in solving their problems are under the protection of the divine system which God has established at the level of nature. Due to this protection they meet with success after success.

The eternal law of the system of nature is that one who helps others will be a favoured person. People’s hearts will be softened for him. He will receive honour and respect from everyone. And one who finds such honour and respect in society will have all his problems solved. Helping others means being beneficent, and beneficence has a tremendous attraction to it. One who becomes beneficent towards others attains the status of a leader among people. People are ready to give him his dues or his rights without his asking for them. He becomes the giver and others become the takers and it is a law of nature that the giver finds a prominent place in society. It is an ineluctable law of nature that a person receives only after he gives. By giving comfort to others, he can receive comfort for himself. There is no exception to this rule.
