Kindness is the best form of Humanity

Tuesday ,31 May

Humanity can be defined as quality of being human as it varies from person to person.Being human does not mean that an individual possesses humanity.

Humanity means caring for and helping others whenever and wherever possible, humanity is helping others at times when they need that help the most, humanity means forgetting your selfish interests at times when others need your help and humanity means extending unconditional love to each and every living being on Earth.

To understand the concept of humanity in an individual take note of what he does for people who give nothing back in return to the favor being offered. One of the most outstanding example of humanity in a human being has been delivered beautifully by Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Other examples of humanity are Abdul Sattar Edhi and Mother Teresa.

Humanity is seeing other in pain or need, understand their situation, feel their pain, and in last take action for them to take out from the pain. Today if you fulfill your responsibility and help someone else that needs your sympathy, your affection, your love so in future an other person help you in your difficult times.

A perfect example of humanity can be demonstrated by the following story.

A king with a kind heart once saw a pigeon and an Eagle fighting. He possessed the ability of communicating with the birds and animals. The pigeon asked the king to save him from the eagle. The king told the eagle that he is ready to pay any price in return for saving the pigeon. The eagle asks the king to give him the equal amount of flesh to the weight of the flesh of the pigeon. Agreeing to the Eagle’s condition, the king starts chopping off his own flesh equal to the flesh of the pigeon. After donating a little bit of his flesh, he still finds the pigeon heavier. Finally he surrenders the whole of himself to the Eagle to eat.

That is the moment when both the Eagle and the pigeon turn into angels who appeared on the earth to test the extent of the king’s humanity. The king is now rewarded with the most precious rewards and heaven after life for his deed of humanity.

Serving the poor, needy and the disabled is one of the greatest humanitarian help an individual can provide in his or her lifetime. Lifting the heavy bag of an old woman is humanity, helping a disabled to cross the road is humanity, helping your mom in doing work is humanity; in fact helping anyone who is in need is humanity.

It is important to understand one important fact; an individual’s life is successful not by the number of degrees he or she attains but by the degree of humanitarian activities that individual is into on daily basis.

People who always crib that they do not have sufficient facilities available despite having everything can never provide humanitarian services because if one has the mind set of not being self- sufficient, how can he or she help someone else.Only human beings can understand the importance of humanity and it is humanity as a result of intelligence which actually gives the core essence to human existence. You will not need a heavy amount to contribute towards humanitarian activities. You are willing to pay thousands of bucks for your medical check- up but when it comes to paying your employee; you want to save every penny.

One is always remembered for his or her good deeds and it is essential to understand that there is no better deed than providing services for humanitarian causes.As soon as we understand the importance of humanity in day to day life, the purpose for which we are on Earth is automatically fulfilled.
