A racist woman who refused to sit next to a black guy on a plane

A racist woman refused to sit next to a black guy on a plane, and regretted it immediately!

A woman in her fifties arrives at her seat on a fully boarded plane. she sees that a black man is seated just next to her.

Disgusted, she asks a flight attendant to change seats, explaining the reason for her discomfort.

The attendant replies: “Okay, let me see if I can work something out.”

A few minutes later, the attendant returns.

Attendant: “Unfortunately, we have no economy class seats available… We do fortunately have one seat left over in first-class.

This is usually against policy, but no one should be forced to sit next to such a disgusting person so the captain is willing to make an exception.”

Before the woman has a chance to respond, the attendant turns to the black man and says: “Sir, please grab your personal belongings and follow me. The captain insists that you should not be seated next to this horrible woman.”

The passengers start to applaud, standing up in support as the man and attendant walks towards the first-class cabin.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) also stressed the lesson of respect upon the Sahaaba (R.A.) at every occasion. A Hadith clearly proclaims: “He who does not respect the elders amongst us and is not merciful upon the young is not one of us.” Another Hadith states: “Verily it is from the dictates of the respect for Allah Ta’ala to respect a Muslim of advanced age, to respect a bearer of the Qur’an (one who has learnt the Qur’ an) who does not exceed its bounds nor does he disregard it and to respect a just ruler.”

REASON FOR LOSS OF RESPECT

Among the main reasons for the loss of respect is the constant exposure to Western culture through the media. The T.V., DVD’s, magazines, even comics and many computer games, slowly erode the respect of our children. It is therefore necessary that we remove these influences from their lives and introduce them to the life of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), the Sahaaba (R.A.) and the pious predecessors. If our children lose respect, Allah forbid – we too could become helpless victims of their gross disrespect. It will then be difficult to reverse the situation. We must act now. May Allah Ta’ala assist us. Aameen.
