The Story Of The Three Men Trapped In A Cave

"O Allah, if I did that seeking only Your pleasure, relieve us from this difficulty" - and the rock moved a little. The second man mentioned how he once had the opportunity to commit a sinful act with a woman, but when she reminded him to fear Allah, he walked away - and the rock moved further.

The third man mentioned how he had kept a worker's wages in trust, invested the money, and when the worker returned gave him everything it had grown - and the rock moved completely, and they walked out.

None of their deeds were performed for an audience; they simply did good when only Allah knew.

So ask yourself: what good deed do you have that only Allah knows about? Do not underestimate these deeds - perhaps one day, facing a difficulty no human can solve, a sincere deed you almost forgot may become the means through which Allah opens a door for you. May Allah make our hidden deeds better than our public deeds.
