Quotes About Kindness

“When we touch the good side of people, we find that there is much good that the eyes may not see at first sight. I have experienced this, with many people, even those who at first seem like evil and corrupt people or those lacking feeling. There is something of emotion in them toward their crimes and errors, there is a something of true affection in them, something of genuine concern and care. You'll find a reservoir of goodness in their souls, when they give you their love and affection trust in return for the little of your self that you give to them, when you give it in truthfulness and sincerity.

Sayyid Qutb

“To be kind is good. To be kind without expecting anything in return is better.

Rumi

“God loves sincere return to Him and He forgives and purifies. The Prophet (SAW) himself exemplified that in many circumstances. `Aishah (r) reports that once, a man came to the Prophet and told him: “I am lost!” The Prophet asked: “Why?” The man confessed: “I had intercourse with my wife during the fasting hours of Ramadan.” Muhammad answered: “Give charity!” The man replied: “I own nothing!” Then he sat down at a short distance from the Prophet. Some time later, a man arrived, bringing a dish of food. [Muslim, Bukhâri] The Prophet called out: “Where is the man who is lost?” “Here”, he answered. Muhammad told him: “Take this food and give it away in charity.” “To one poorer than myself? My family has nothing to eat!” “Well then, eat it yourselves”, the Prophet replied with a smile. That gentleness and kindness were the very essence of his teaching.

Tariq Ramadan
