KINDNESS AND GENTLENESS – Book Sample

Introduction – KINDNESS AND GENTLENESS

All praise is for Allah; we praise Him and seek His Help and Forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Allah, Most High, from the evil of our own selves and from our wicked deeds. Whomsoever Allah has guided, none can misguide him. And whomsoever has been left astray by Allah none can guide him. And I bear witness that there is no god worthy of being worshipped except Allah, alone without partner or associate. I further bear witness that Muhammad is His true worshipper and Messenger

To Proceed:

Undoubtedly, the heart leans towards those who are kind and gentle. It was said a long time ago: “Make your face happy and your words gentle, and you will be more beloved to the people than those who give them a gift.” ((Refer to Kitab Az-Zuhd by Hunaad ibn As-Sirriy (narration# 1278).))

 However, with the help of Allah, this turning away can be avoided all together or (considerably) lessened, if the caller has the characteristics of kindness and gentleness.

Texts in the Noble Qut’an and the pure (authentic) Sunnah clearly explain how important it is for the one calling to Islam to adorn himself with kindness. Likewise, (our Prophet (?) who is) the leader of aU callers to the religion of Islam and their role model (?) is an example of how to use kindness when calling to the religion of Allah the Most High (Islam). Also, many of the scholars have emphasized how important it is for the one calling to Islam to adorn himself with kindness.

However, there are some circumstances when severity and har­shness should be used instead of kindness and gentleness. Texts in the Qur,an and the (authentic) Sunnah dearly explain the different methods of da’wah used by the Noble Messenger (of Allah ?), as well as the
