Met with an accident today, rear ended by a Malay uncle driving a van at a slip-road.
He came out of the vehicle extremely apologetic, kept shaking his head saying he will be responsible for the damage. As I was reassuring him the damage is not significant, he told me it is to him, especially since it’s during the Ramadan period and Hari Raya is coming up.
I choked.
I told him to use the money meant for the repair and put it to good use. Bring his family for a nice meal etc.
He cried and hugged me, kept asking if I am for real. He said he is heading to the mosque for night prayers and asked for my name, promising to pray for me. Pretty much lost for words.
Happy holidays my Muslim friends. I can sleep better tonight.
