There is still khair in the Ummah

One of the sweet outcomes of being productive in life is the goodness it brings out of us. It truly reflects the hadeeth where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him said): “There’s still khair (goodness) in my Ummah till the Day of Judgement” which makes you admire and love our beautiful Ummah.
