Qader Mama has a little tailor's shop in the Cumilla bazaar. Before Eid there is no time to breathe. The day before Chand Raat a rickshaw puller came: 'Mama, could you make a dress for my daughter? She needs it on Eid morning.'
Qader Mama knew that taking it meant staying up all night. Still he said: 'In sha Allah, you'll have it on Eid morning.'
That night, after finishing every other order, he started on the dress. His eyes were closing with sleep, but he kept thinking of that father's face. At the adhan for Fajr he made the last stitch.
On Eid morning the rickshaw puller came with his daughter. In her red dress she twirled to show it off. At her smile, the whole night's tiredness vanished.
وَلَا تَقۡرَبُواْ مَالَ ٱلۡيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِي هِيَ أَحۡسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥۚ وَأَوۡفُواْ بِٱلۡعَهۡدِۖ إِنَّ ٱلۡعَهۡدَ كَانَ مَسۡـُٔولٗا
“And do not approach the property of an orphan, except in the way that is best, until he reaches maturity. And fulfill [every] commitment. Indeed, the commitment is ever [that about which one will be] questioned.”
Surah Al-Isra 17:34
