LITTLE THINGS MATTER A LOT

One thing I try to do is if I am somewhere and theres an old person in line behind me, I'll make sure to let them in first.
Once I was at the bank and was in line waitiing, there was an old woman behind me, when it got to my turn, I told her to go ahead first. She was like "You sure?" I go yes definately. She went upto the teller and was telling the teller how nice t...hat young lady let me go first.. subhan'Allah I felt so happy coz it was such a small thing as well.
The other time I was at Customs in the airport, and an old man was waiting behind me, when it got to my turn, I let him go first. He was so shocked.
I realised that in today's times, theres alot of respect for elders missing and these small things sometimes, surprise them. But it's so nice. I mean subhan'Allah, these people are old and frail, whilst we are young and fit alhamdulillah.
Grey haired people have been specially indicated as objects of our respect in Hadith. Hadhrat Abu Musa Ashari (Radi Allah Anho) relates that the Holy Prophet, Hadhrat Muhammad-ur Rasulullaah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), said, 'Respect for a grey haired Muslim is a part of respect for Allah.' (Abu Dawood)
