There are many ayat al-Ahadith that mention the magnificent impact that a small good deed can have.

For example, the Hadith and sahib Bukhadi mentions that the Prophet ﷺ said that if one of you gives a small date in charity

from his pure wealth, a date that he wants, he loves, he's earned it and he gives it in charity.

Allah SWT will accept that date and he shall plant it and nurture it and water it and it will grow and grow and grow.

So much so that when on Judgment Day you come back and you see this beautiful tree in your good deeds,

you might say, O Allah, I don't recognize this good deed.

I didn't do this. Where is this coming from? And Allah will say, remember that one date you gave?

Remember that one date you gave but your heart was pure, you had sincerity, you gave it for the sake of Allah.

I accepted that date and I nurtured it. I allowed it to grow until the results of it is what you are seeing here.

Our scholars say that perhaps what could happen is that you feed somebody and you don't realize what happens after that.

You change his life around, you give somebody $10 in reality, you change his entire life, he goes on and he does something else.

And all of the reward are going to go to you and so on and so forth.

One good deed is a domino effect, might bring about thousands of other good deeds such that when you stand on Judgment Day,

you will have good deeds, you don't even know where they're coming from because you used every opportunity you could to spread the blessings of Allah SWT.

Brothers and sisters, the reason I'm talking about this is very simple. We see global changes taking place.

We see the rise of Islamophobia. As we speak now, mastergrors are taking place in Palestine.

15 people were killed brutally by the IDF, 2000 people were injured yesterday and today this is happening right now.

Major problems happening. At some level we can't help but get depressed.

At some level it seems overwhelming. What can I do? What can I do? Seven million refugees in Syria.

500,000 Burmese people, Muslims, Rahingah being killed in massacre. What can I do?

And the response is, I'm not telling you not to feel sad. We should feel sad.
