💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Among the qualities that Allah the Most Kind loves
Are kindness and gentleness, having a tender heart,
One free from envy, suspicion and negative thoughts,
With willingness to understand and be unselfish.

Kindness isn’t only in spending money on friends
Nor is it restricted to giving out gifts often.
You can be kind with your time, advice, supplications,
Sharing knowledge, and preventing yourself from harming.
~•~
When passing by some Muslims, be the first to greet them,
Or at least don’t harm them with some offensive statements.
Be soft and easygoing when dealing with children,
Pat the heads of orphans, share smiles, let your heart soften.
~•~
Upon noticing someone receive unjust treatment,
Or they’re encountering injustice and oppression,
Be strong enough to defend them, lessen their problems,
Or at least pray for their well-being from a distance.
~•~
When some are backbiting about another Muslim,
Instead of reacting with laughter or scared silence,
Remind them of how gossiping is forbidden,
Leave the group, or say something to change the discussion.
~•~
If you have extra things to share, or surplus items,
Make effort to give them away to those who’ll need them.
When some require feedback or your honest opinion,
Advise them honestly to improve their condition.
~•~
Kindness isn’t just found in things that can be touched,
Given by one who’s financially generous,
But you can be kind by making good use of your heart
To inspire, save lives, and spread vibes that are positive.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu ‘anhu narrated: Allah’s noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage.”
