. . . When I was a little boy . . .

. . . . . When I was a little boy, I used to go of by myself to spend time alone in empty places. At certain moments, I would hear a voice, although I never saw a person, saying: “You are surely blessed with goodness, and you will surely acquire goodness!” Whenever this happened, I would get up and explore my surroundings, since I had no idea where that voice might be coming from, and – for which all praise is due to Allah (Almighty and Glorious is He) – I have experienced blessed grace [baraka] in all my circumstances. . . . . .
