Cafe owner hires homeless man – 2 weeks later, she finds this in the kitchen.

In March 2016, a homeless man named Marcus walked into a Cafe in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The man looked right into the eye of the 25-year-old cafe owner, Cesia Abigail, and asked for money.

Though the lady felt an instant connection with the man who lived on the streets, she could not offer any money to Marcus.

#3 Man Could Not Get Any Job

After the homeless man asked her for financial assistance, Abigail responded, “Why don’t you have a job, you know nothing is given to me for free right?”

Understanding what she was getting at, Marcus tried explaining his situation to Cesia that he wanted to get a job but due to his criminal past, getting hired had proved impossible for him and he had been forced to retreat to a life in the streets.

#2 Cesia – The Owner

Cesia is the owner of Abi’s Cafe in Minneapolis, Minnesota and had long fought to keep her cafe running which has not always been easy to manage.

When Marcus approached her cafe that day, his story had a great impact on her. Instead of turning Marcus away, Cesia did something so incredible that her story went massively viral

#1 The Man Got a Job

Below is an extract from Cesia’s Facebook account

“I was short of staff that day, so I asked him, “You want to work? I have a job for you! His eyes opened wide and his smile made my day!!!! He said, ‘I’ll do anything for some food.’ So now for almost two weeks, he’s been on time for his two-hour shift… helping take out the trash, washing dishes etc. Once I pay him, guess what he does? He buys food from my restaurant — HE DECIDES TO PAY — because it makes him feel good!”

“With his new job, Marcus has found new confidence in himself and he’s a changed man. Do something nice for someone today and don’t judge them just because they’re out there asking for money for we don’t know their situation… some deserve another shot. God gave me this blessing so why can’t I bless others?”

7 Remarkable Things About Khadija, Wife of the Prophet Muhammed SAS

By Yasmina Blackburn I often get into debates with people about women in Islam. How we dress. How we don’t dress. What we think or don’t think or should-be-thinking. I get into debates about feminism. What it is and what it isn’t. I think I’ve spawned permanent foes because I don’t care to apply the label, feminist, to describe myself. (I’m not one for labels, sorry. But if it’s even required of me, “Muslim woman” suits me just fine.) But if we could agree for a moment that there exists a pure definition of the word feminist to mean: awesomely fierce to the millionth degree, then I’d like to introduce you to Islam’s first feminist. Her name is Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. She was the wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him.) And she is one of the people that I think about when I face or debate issues surrounding women today. Khadija’s existence precedes mine by more than 1,400 years; and, if I can at the very least, continuously strive to emulate her char...

When Can I Shorten my Prayers at my Workplace ?

Q uestions: My current workplace is 86 km from my home. I stay there 8 hours each days. Can I shorten my prayers A nswer: If your workplace is [approximately] 80km or more from your city boundary, you should shorten your prayers whilst there. Normally, we are expected to shorten our prayers when the shari‘a says that we are travelling; hence, if you have to travel just to get to work, you would shorten your prayers.

I Felt As 60 Pound Weight Had Been Lifted Off My Shoulders

By Aisha Kacie Salaam! My name is Aisha and I am a Muslim revert. I reverted in 2015, but I had been researching Islam for about 2 years before reverting. Growing up I was put under the label Christian, though it was never practiced in my home. I met my best friend in college 6-7 years ago and she was Muslim. I later met a few other Muslims but still never thought much about Islam. Having moved to a big city from a small town, I actually did not know what Islam was! So I guess because of that, I came into it without any bias. I began having questions about fasting, and modest dress, etc and that began my 2 year journey into researching Islam. I researched (literally) everyday. Then one day I decided to listen to one of the 5 daily prayers out of curiosity. As soon as the Arabic played I felt as though a 60 pound weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was so overwhelmed as though I had just found what was written for me my entire life without even knowing it! ...
