those great Khalifs. He followed the

teachings of Islam strictly and

served the people whom he ruled

with kindness and humility.

One hot summer’s night the Khalif

Umar was lying awake in bed. He

was perspiring and felt very uncom-

fortable. It was too hot to sleep.

“Dear lady!” he called to his maid

servant. As she hurried into his

chamber he said to her in a gentle

voice, “Please do fan me for the

night is terribly hot. Allah loves

those who bring comfort to others

and His reward is great indeed.”

The maid servant loved and

respected her Khalif dearly and was

all too happy to serve him. The cool,

sweet smelling breeze from her fan

brought a smile to the lips of the

pious Khalif and before long he

dozed off to sleep.
