Doing Good To Others Brings Comfort To The Heart​

The first person who benefits from an act of charity is the benefactor himself, by seeing changes in himself and in his manners, by finding peace, by watching a smile form on the lips of another.

If you find yourself in difficulty or distress, show kindness to others, you will be the first to find solace and comfort. Give to the needy, defend the oppressed, feed the poor, help those in distress, visit the sick, you will find that happiness surrounds you from all directions.

An act of charity is like perfume, it benefits the user, the seller, and the buyer. Furthermore, the psychological benefits that one receives from helping others are great. If you suffer from depression, an act of charity will have a more potent effect for your sickness than the best of drugs can have. Even when you smile upon meeting others, you are giving charity.

The Prophet said:
'Do not dismiss certain acts of kindness by deeming them to be insignificant; even if you meet your brother with a smiling face (then it is an action, which might weigh heavily in your scale of deeds).'

O’ you, who are threatened by misery, fear and grief, occupy yourself in the betterment of others. Help others in different ways - through charity, hospitality, sympathy, and support. And in doing so, you will find all of the happiness that you desire.

[Surah Al-Lail – Ayat 18-21.]
''He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,''

''And have in his mind no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,''

''Except only the desire to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High;''

''He surely will be pleased (when he will enter Paradise).''

JAzakAllahu khayr.


The Noble Qur'an 3:159

And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).

The Noble Qur'an 42:43
And verily, whosoever shows patience and forgives that would truly be from the things recommended by Allah.


The Noble Qur'an 31:17-19
O my son! Aqim-is-Salat (offer prayers perfectly), enjoin (people) for Al- Ma'ruf (Islamic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from Al- Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allah, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily! These are some of the important commandments ordered by Allah with no exemption.
And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allah likes not each arrogant boaster.
And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the ass.

Hadith - Muslim & Bukhari
"Allah is not kind to him who is not kind to people."

Hadith - Tirmidhi, Saheeh: Related by Aboo Daawood (no. 4177) and at-Tirmidhee (no. 1877). It was declared authentic by Imaam al-Albaanee in as-Saheehah (no. 417):
"He who does not thank people does not thank Allah."

Hadith - Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi
"Those who are kind and considerate to Allah's creatures, Allah bestows His kindness and affection on them. Show kindness to the creatures on the earth so that Allah may be kind to you."

The Noble Qur'an - Al-Fath 48:29 Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allâh, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. ...


In Marriage


The Noble Qur'an 30:21
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.

The Noble Qur'an 4:19
O ye who believe! ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness that ye may take away part of the dower ye have given them except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing and Allah brings about through it a great deal of good.

Hadith - Tirmidhi "The most perfect of the believers is the best of you in character, and the best of you are those among you who are best to their wives."


Lenience
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Book 71, Ch. 16, No. 2025

oo Jazak Allah siso, i think i need to re read it many times to apply; i have to say , when i'm in distress i tend not to be nice with my younger sis my baad ; i won't do that again ; it's very harmful for my imaan and burns the few good deeds i manage to gain in a day plus i guess not beeing nice to others is a sign of arrogance in a certain way, so it 's worse
