18 Be gentle and get benefit!

Dear Islamic brothers! When we find a Muslim submerged in sins, we should reform him upon noticing him violating and transgressing the Islamic Shari’ah, with the intention of the betterment of his Hereafter and if you feel that your admonition and advice may create any conflict then regard it offensive and disgusting in your heart whereas in our personal matters if something contrary to our nature occurs, we should show patience and forgiveness  no matter how angry we get, we should restrain our tongues and hands and forgive for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ because when the tongue gets out of control, it sometimes worsens the situation and messes up good work, it is for this reason that somebody has truly quoted:

ہے فَلاح و کامرانی نَرمی و آسانی میں      ہر بنا کام بِگڑ جاتا ہے نادانی میں

Remember! If we give up taking revenge with good intentions from others over their wrongdoings, our society can become a place of peace and it will be purged from the disgusting elements like disruption, differences and disputes. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ likes tolerance and gentleness very much, certainly, whoever gets this great blessing, becomes the most fortunate person. Gentleness is the beauty of a human, being impolite all the time is out of etiquettes. A courteous and gentle person is loved by everyone whereas an indifferent and ill-tempered person is hated by everyone. Let’s listen to 4 blessed sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in order to adopt gentleness and kindness:

1.         ‘اِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَفِيۡقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفۡقَ’ Undoubtedly Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is kind and He loves kindness ‘وَيُعۡطِي عَلَى الرِّفۡقِ مَا لَا يُعۡطِي عَلَى الۡعُنۡفِ’ and confers upon kindness which He does not confer upon severity ‘وَمَا لَا يُعۡطِي عَلَى مَا سِوَاهُ’ and whatever He confers upon kindness, does not confer upon anything.

(Sahih Muslim, pp. 1398, Hadees 2593)
