However, his worldly actions were not accepted. Not a single sermon, not his fast, not his services were accepted what he did before the public. But he was the most famous speaker, the wisest scholar! From the many deeds what he made throughout his life, the Lord accepted only one act. This was when on one occasion, a poor woman invited him to her house to read the Quran for her dead relatives. The famous orator responded the request and took part in her mourning with devotion. There weren't many. Only 3-4 elderly women were present, all poor seized by vicissitudes of life. When the sheik finished reading, she turned to him and offered money for the service. The orator was ashamed and rejected it. She begged him to accept the donation. She had been collecting this money for a year to meet the demand of her conscience in order to realize the grief ceremony. It was a couple of dirhams, but for the woman it was all she could give. Finally, the orator reluctantly accepted the donation. Not because he was in need, but because he didn't want to hurt the woman. In the Barzakh this was the only act the Lord had accepted from him.

Why did I mention this parable? Look who are around you? There are people who want popularity by any mean whose populism overwhelms. Most of their actions and speeches disappear and they have no real content at all. They don't serve anyone except themselves. You are a simple tool for them in order to realize their own goals.

In the parable it became clear to the orator that what sort of service has real value. We expect the similar enlightenment from the actual orators as well.

And say: "Work (righteousness): Soon will Allah observe your work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: Soon will ye be brought back to the knower of what is hidden and what is open: then will He show you the truth of all that ye did." (Quran 9:105)
