Asalaam Alaikum,
Thanks for sharing this sister........let's keep this thread going. If debate over trivial issues and sectarian bickering can thrive over multiple pages why should a thread like this go under?
Some sayings of the Seal of Prophets(saws) that fit the theme.....
"Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face." (Muslim)
"The most excellent jihad is when one speaks a true word in the presence of a tyrannical ruler." (Tirmidhi)
"Among the believers who show most perfect faith are those who have best disposition and are kindest to their families." (Tirmidhi)
"He who believes in God and the Last Day should honour his guest; he who believes in God and the Last Day should not annoy his neighbours; and he who believes in God and the Last Day should say what is good or keep silent." (Bukhari + Muslim)
"Four characteristics constitute anyone who possesses them a sheer hypocrite, and anyone who possesses one of them possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy till he abandons it: when he is trusted he betrays his trust, when he talks he lies, when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously and when he quarrels he abuses." (Bukhari + Muslim)
"Each person's every joint must perform a charity every day the Sun comes up : to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it is a charity: a good word is a charity, every step you take to prayers is a charity and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity." (Bukhari + Muslim)
