“We are often a people of quantity. But we forget that Allah also looks at quality. For example, a single good deed can be multiplied and magnified on the scales, due to the intention and state of heart behind it. To save one life is like saving all of humanity. (Quran 5:32) So while we cannot help every person we see in need, if we can help even one person, with a full heart, and not expecting anything in return from them, it could be as if we helped all of humanity.”
