Ustaz Ebit Lew is perhaps widely-known among the public for his kind virtues as well as his generous efforts in lending his hand to the needy. From helping the locals to attending to the people in need abroad, it sure looks like there’s nothing he is incapable of.
Recently, the Muslim preacher was spotted in Surabaya, Indonesia, to carry out his charity work. During UEL’s visit there, he also spent some time meeting a group of trans women who are working the back-alleys. He took to his official socials to detail what went down during the meeting.
“At 12am, I visited several transgender women who were working at a dark alley in Surabaya. The moment I reached the place, I greeted them, spoke to them and preached faith to them. They said they recognised me from my previous charity work with the street kids in Jakarta,” Ebit revealed in his post.
“After talking for a while, it seemed that some of them couldn’t hold back their tears even in the dark alley. Some have been working at the alley for 14 years now. There were also some who were supporting their paralysed parent. There are all sorts of stories behind them,” the pious figure added.
Ebit then shared, “I told them, ‘God loves us. He blessed us with faith. We don’t know what will happen to us in the future. All of us are currently striving for the Hereafter. Take good care of your parents, do not miss your prayer times and stay away from anything ‘haram’ (forbidden).'”
In the video, the 37-year-old was also seen treating the group to a meal at a hotel. “They were excited to follow me. When we arrived at the hotel, they asked a lot of questions. What is ‘halal’? What is ‘haram’? The most important thing is our effort to get close to Allah and to carry it out. Some also wanted to know how they can secure a ‘halal’ income. They want to be close to Allah, they miss Allah,” Ebit explained.
“They cried when I fed them food and when I shared with them stories about love and faith. Despite it being a short affair, I felt very close to them, they’re like my friends. Praise be to God, I was able to share some of my knowledge with them,” the celebrity preacher added in the long post.
“They also told me they haven’t heard an (Islamic sermon) in a long time. They never received such kind treatment and advice in their entire lives,” Ebit revealed. Not only that, they also invited the ustaz to visit them again as they have friends who would like to meet him in person too.
