Sharing Blessings in Ramadan: The Touching Story of an Online Motorcycle Taxi Driver Who Received Unexpected Blessings

Medan Sunggal, Medan City—(03/18/25) In the holy month of Ramadan, filled with blessings, sustenance often comes from unexpected places. Such was the moving story experienced by online motorcycle taxi driver Mr. Muhammad Yusuf. On an ordinary day, he would only receive one order, but that day, God sent multiplied sustenance through Jesica Thamrin. Without warning, he was invited to shop for basic necessities like rice, oil, sugar, and more at a minimarket— all within two minutes. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized that the day also coincided with his wife's birthday.

A Father's Struggle: Riding for His Family

It all began when Jestham booked an online ride and invited Mr. Yusuf into the minimarket. With a warm smile, Jestham gave him the opportunity to grab anything he needed within two minutes. At first, Mr. Yusuf hesitated, but as the countdown began, he enthusiastically picked up rice, oil, coffee, bread, and other essentials. "Take more, sir, take more!" Jestham encouraged him. In just a short time, his shopping cart was filled with items his family desperately needed.

After finishing his shopping, Mr. Yusuf could no longer hold back his emotions. He revealed that the day was especially meaningful— it was his wife's birthday. With a trembling voice, the man admitted that this was the first time he had ever received such unexpected blessings. Until then, he could only afford the bare necessities, but on that day, God granted him far more than he had ever imagined. Jestham, too, was deeply moved upon hearing Mr. Yusuf's life story, especially learning that the couple had waited six years before finally being blessed with a son named Muhammad Uwais Azam.

Mr. Yusuf shared his journey from East Java, where he had migrated to Medan to work on a telecommunications tower project. When that job ended, he switched to being an online driver to support his family. Despite their modest life, he and his wife never forgot to be grateful for every blessing they received. Mr. Yusuf firmly believed that sustenance comes entirely from God, while humans need only strive and pray. He saw Jestham's kindness, arriving precisely on his wife's birthday, as a direct answer to the prayers he had fervently made all this time.

In a soft voice, Mr. Yusuf conveyed a message to his wife: "To my beloved wife on your birthday, may you be granted a long life, abundant sustenance, and ease in all matters. May we be blessed with another child. Amen." He hoped this unexpected gift would bring blessings to his family. Jestham then added cash assistance as further support for Mr. Yusuf's needs. "You can use this amount for other necessities or for breaking your fast later at home with your family," Jestham said with a radiant smile. This additional help moved Mr. Yusuf even more, as he could now celebrate his wife's special day and break his fast with greater abundance.

In Ramadan, a time when good deeds are multiplied, Jestham's act stands as real proof that sharing happiness is a noble form of worship. Behind simplicity lies the power of prayer and hope that never fades. Happy birthday to his wife—may this small family always be blessed with sustenance, health, and happiness.
