One day, my mom prepared my favourite food, fish and chips, for my school packed lunch. I was very happy that day, and I was excited to enjoy my food at lunchtime. Slowly, lunchtime arrived at school. The bell rang, and I quickly went to line up with my packed lunch. Then I went to the lunchroom with my friends. I opened my lunch and got ready to eat with a smile on my lips.

Suddenly, I heard a sound, “Oh! No…” I looked around and saw one of my friends. She had brought an empty lunch pack by mistake. She forgot to bring her food and was crying. I felt sad for her. I thought about sharing my favourite fish and chips with her, even though I did not really feel like doing it. I went to her and asked her to come and have lunch with me.

She stopped crying and smiled. We shared the food and ate together. I felt a strange happiness that day. I thought the food would not be enough for me, but it still fulfilled my hunger. Alhamdulillah. She was very happy too and thanked me with a smiling face. It gave me great pleasure.

Allah gave me an opportunity to help my friend in her difficulty with my favourite meal. It brought me barakah, full of blessings from Allah, both physically and mentally. Alhamdulillah.
