I
am
sure
you
will
agree
that
there
is
so
much
to
be
satisfied
and
thankful
about
each
of
us,
indeed,
in
our
roles
of
responsibilities,
have
been
able
to
contribute
in
many
ways
to
ensure
a
better
life
for
those
who
we
are
responsible
for,
and
I'm
sure
we
look
forward
to
the
coming
islamic
year
with
hope
to
do
more.
I
myself
try
to
learn
lessons
from
those
who
came
before
us
so
that
their
lives
can
inspire
me
to
much
more,
and
this
is
something
I
would
like
to
share
with
you.
B
Over
the
last
year,
I
have
been
reading
up
on
the
life
of
a
man
who
lived
nearly
fourteen
hundred
years
ago,
a
man
who,
after
the
demise
of
our
Prophet
peace,
be
upon
him
and
the
first
caliph
when,
given
the
responsibility
of
leading
his
people,
gave
them
hope.
With
his
endless
commitment
in
his
life.
I
found
many
lessons
that
I
have
been
able
to
implement
this
man
was
Omer.
Even
a
hot
tub
may
God
be
pleased
with
him
to
be
close
to
the
pure
normal
lived
in
a
simple
mud
hut,
even
without
doors.
B
He
walked
the
streets
every
evening
to
ensure
the
safety
of
his
community.
After
consulting
with
a
pure
rumor
established,
the
first
welfare
state,
Bayt
almal
it
aided
the
pure
needy
elderly
orphans,
widows
and
the
disabled,
número

la
sala
anhu
also
introduced
Child,
Benefit
and
Pensions
for
the
children
and
the
elderly.
He
was
indeed
a
person
who
listened
to
his
community
and
was
never
afraid
to
make
changes
to
benefit
them.
Boomers
inspiration
was
a

a
close
friend.
B
B
One
morning
he
went
to
the
house
of
one
of
those
poor
elderly
widowed
women.
He
made
her
breakfast
and
placed
the
food
in
front
of
her.
What
the
lady
said
was
something
that
astonished
Homer.
She
said
it
seems
that
the
person
who
took
care
of
me
has
left
this
world
because
he
would
lift
the
morsels
of
food
to
my
mouth
due
to
myself
being
blind.
Indeed,
stories
like
this.
B
These
have
inspired
myself
as
well,
and
I
have
been
able
to
help
the
less
fortunate
here
in
my
community
and
also
around
the
world
over
the
last
year,
I
pray
that
this
coming
year
is
more
prosperous
and
more
beneficial
for
us,
and
our
communities
me
O
Lord
gave
us
all
the
strength
to
keep
doing
the
good
that
we
are
I
mean.
Thank
you.
