Hadith-e-Rasul – Sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammadsa
Importance of being kind
ّٰ ْ َ ْ َ ْ َ َ َق،الل ِہ ال ْ َب َج ِ� ّي عن جرِیرِ ب ِن عب ِد ال ََ ّ َ َ ْ َ َ ُ ّٰ َّ ّٰ ُ ْ ُ َ َ َ قال رسول الل ِہ ﺻلی اللہ علی ِہ وسلم َْْ ْ ّْ َُْ ْ َ الرِف َق یُح َر ِم الخی َر من یحر ِم Hazrat Jarirra narrates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Whoever is deprived of kindness, he is deprived of goodness.” (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Birr wa-s-silah wa-ladab, Hadith 2592)
Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, In His Own Words
There is nothing until one possesses strong faith “Though I am cognisant that people only gradually find the ability to serve by action, there is no doubt that a person’s actions strengthen in proportion to a person’s strength in faith. This is to such an extent that when a believer’s strength in faith matures and develops fully, they reach the station of a martyr (shaheed) because nothing can stand in their way. Such an individual is not hesitant or reluctant even to sacrifice their dear life.” (Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmadas, Malfuzat, Vol. II, p. 56)
