It is better to be kind. People who benefit everyone are appreciated in the society. Everyone loves and respects him. Humans are social creatures. There are many things that people cannot do alone. This requires the cooperation of others. Only selfless and benevolent people are engaged in the service of the people. If you want to do good, you need a clear mind. But competition creates violence and anxiety in people's minds. It is better not to compete. I should not insist on doing that by being jealous of another person.
Kindness is very important in Islam. This is the claim of faith and the most pleasing deed of Allah. Kindness is the ornament of human superiority. Without philanthropy, there is no stability in society. Injustice, oppression, deception, and murder continue to plague society. As a result, natural disasters continue to escalate as social unrest escalates. In this regard, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) declared, ‘Be kind to the people of the world, then the Lord of the heavens will be kind to you.’ (Tirmidhi Sharif, Hadith: 1848).
There is no substitute for philanthropy if people want to be social. It is a sign of humanity to come forward in the danger of another, to stand by, to show sympathy, to try to put a smile on the face of another without being busy for one's own happiness. There is a proverb in this regard - 'There is no happiness in suffering, there is real happiness in giving up.'
It has been narrated in a hadith-
"The person who benefits people the most is the best person."
People can be benefited in many ways. With money, with power, with intellect and with knowledge. Allah has given each one the same qualification. Whoever has the ability, if he uses that ability in the service of creation, then that ability is successful. By this he is successful in both this world and the Hereafter. In fact, whatever merit Allah bestows on man, he will make his life successful by devoting it to human service.
Islam emphasizes the importance of standing by people in times of danger. It is our duty to stand by the people at this time when the Corona epidemic is going on. Islam wants the person next to you not to be in trouble. You will stand by his side in his trouble. This is clear from the various hadiths of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and various verses of the Holy Qur'an, Allah is pleased to do good to others and through this it is possible to become a beloved servant of Allah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said about kindness, if a person has the opportunity to do good deeds, he should give importance to it. Because no one knows when this opportunity will end.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the epitome of benevolence. He would be happy to help people. He would be hurt by the pain of others. He could not hold his eyes when he saw tears in someone's eyes. His tears flowed from his head.
On the day when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) received the first revelation, he returned home in a state of panic and said to Khadijat al-Kubra (ra), 'Wrap me in a blanket.' Do not insult. Because you serve God's creation. Works for the poor and needy. Relieves the burden of helpless orphans. Keep yourself engaged for their welfare. '(Bukhari Sharif, Hadith: 457)
In another hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Imam Baqir (peace be upon him), a member of the Ahl al-Bayt, says about the importance of benevolence, three qualities are considered the best deeds in the sight of Allah. These are, when a Muslim satisfies his hunger by feeding another Muslim, Allah is very pleased. Besides, when someone solves another's problem and pays off someone's debt, God is pleased.
There is no substitute for giving to receive God's love. And it has a positive effect on those who do good, and a spirit of self-sacrifice develops. This kind of honest work affects the whole of human society and everyone benefits when the culture of benevolence spreads.
In the Holy Qur'an, Allah says, "It is better for you to give alms, charity, help and cooperation openly, and it is better for you to give alms to the destitute, the destitute, the uprooted, the orphans, the poor, the helpless in secret."
In another verse, it is said, "If a poor, orphan, helpless and miserable person wants something from you, do not send him back with a threat.
God helps those who help people. It has been narrated in the hadith that ‘Whoever relieves a believer of a crisis from the worldly crises, Allah will relieve him of one of the crises of the Hereafter. Whoever helps to alleviate the need of the needy, Allah will grant him comfort 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 is with the help of the servant as long as the servant is engaged with the help of his brother. '[Muslim: Hadith - 2699]
There are many problems that cannot be solved by one person alone. However, if the labor and efforts of one or more people are involved, then the solution of those problems becomes easier.
