Assalamu Alaikum. Greetings Sri Lankan community. How are you all. I hope that by the grace of Allah, you are all doing well. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am also doing well. I pray to Allah that we are always doing well.

Today I am here to write a real life story to you. When I was working in a garment factory, I would sometimes go to a mosque to offer prayers. I would wake up early in the morning, take a fresh bath and finish my breakfast. After finishing my breakfast, I went to the office on time. After going to the office, I had to work continuously for five hours until lunch. Then when I returned home for lunch, sometimes I would see a bicycle rider.

A cyclist used to cross my path every day during lunch. That is, when I went home, that cyclist would leave some books in a sack. He would come back with those books with great joy to sell them every day. I used to wonder every day where that bookseller was selling the books. But one day, I suddenly discovered that man in a corner of the mosque and I liked him a lot more.

Every day, when people left for home during lunch, that man would come back to sell books. First, he would come to the mosque and offer Jumma prayers and then Zuhr prayers. After finishing the prayers, he would spread a big mat and arrange books on it. Basically, there are various kinds of books there. Especially horror stories, cartoons and funny stories, that is, all kinds of books are collected there. Basically, I liked that wonderful book very much. One day, I had 30 minutes more on my hand on the way back to the office. Then I went to that shop and saw the collection of books there. Various types of books, especially amulet books, have been kept there.

In addition, various children's toys are being sold from there. I was quite impressed by the activities of that small shopkeeper. Because books are being sold in a small place and it is in the very corner of the mosque. There is a madrasa on the west and east side and a mosque on the west side. And in that empty place, a bookseller is selling books.

His book-selling activities impressed me a lot. I watched him sell his books with great joy. Although the shop is very small, there are all kinds of books in that shop. In addition, there are perfumes and prayer mats, as well as other various items. That is, all the Sunnah contents prescribed in Islam are kept there and various kinds of books are kept.

All the other books were on the ground. But in his little shop I saw a chair. On a plastic chair I saw some valuable books. They were Quran and Hadith books.

Actually I had left the office a while ago. Then I came to that book shop with great joy and started looking at the books. After looking at the books, I liked it a lot and that little shop started to become a very favorite shop of mine.

Sometimes I used to collect some books from that shop and gift them to different religious institutions. Basically I did this activity for the help and complete satisfaction of the Creator.

Anyway, I am happy to finally tell you about the story of that little shop. This little book shop on the side of the road made me very happy. Finally I am very happy to share the whole activity with you. Thank you very much for enjoying. Thank you for being with the Sri Lankan community
