kindness in islam
Kindness is a mark of a good Muslim.
Allah say in Quran About "Kindness" that Allah loves those who act justly.
In some parts of the Holy Quran, Allah describes himself as ‘RAOUF’ (رؤوف). English translators of the Quran take this to mean ‘kind’.
There is great emphasis on kindness in Islam. There are many teachings in the Quran and Hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) that promote kindness, compassion and good behavior towards others. For example:
Compassion for all:-
Islam teaches believers to be kind and compassionate not only toward fellow Muslims but toward all of humanity. The Quran mentions the importance of showing mercy to parents, relatives, orphans and the poor.
"The Prophet mohmmed said. "He is not a true believer who eats his fill while his neighbour is hungry".(No matter what religion your neighbor belongs to)"
Example of the Prophet:-
Prophet Muhammad is considered the perfect example of mercy and compassion. His actions and sayings encourage Muslims to follow his example in their daily lives.
Charity (Sadaqa):-
Giving to the needy is an essential part of kindness in Islam. Charitable works and helping the less fortunate are highly encouraged.
Forgiveness:-
Islam promotes forgiveness and urges believers to forgive those who have wronged them, which is seen as an act of kindness.
Respect for elders:-
Islamic teachings emphasize showing respect and kindness towards elders.
Muslims are considered part of a global brotherhood regardless of their nationality or ethnicity. The concept promotes compassion, cooperation and helping each other in times of need.
Animals and the Environment:-
Islam also teaches compassion towards animals and the environment. The Prophet Muhammad was known for his compassion towards animals and has specific guidelines for their treatment.
In short, kindness is a fundamental aspect of Islamic teachings, and Muslims are encouraged to incorporate it in their daily lives, interactions with others, and dealings with all living beings.
