RELIGION IS KINDNESS
When we are together, paying attention is the most basic and profound expression of love. In a moment when you offer attention real listening, real presence in that moment the heart naturally opens and things will begin to unfold naturally.
In the Holy Qur'an; Allah very beautifully guides us to discharge our duties towards serving humanity. We should display kindness to everyone whether they are kind to us or not. In this way by following this teaching we can create peace, love and harmony in our society.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, emphasised love, sympathy and kindness towards all mankind, he said “One who is not grateful to mankind is not grateful to Allah” (Tirmidhi).
In another beautiful saying, the Holy Prophet has said: “None among you is a true believer unless he loves for others what he loves for himself.” (Bukhari). I have chosen to serve God, and it is a wise choice. I know who I serve and I am committed to serving HIM.
My contribution to the subject of serving humanity is quite simple. We all need to serve God. There is no doubt about that. But then, why do we really need to serve God? When we serve the people well, it is also a way of serving God. Hence, service to humanity is also service to God. There is no greater service than that.
No doubt, we have challenges here and there. That is normal in life. However, as long as God gives us the strength, i will continue to serve humanity. I will continue to work for humanity. I will continue to ensure that i make life better for humanity regardless. Even though, as I no get SHISHI, that is what I signed for. That is what I will keep doing. That is what religion is all about.
