THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 21st day of Shawwaal (Monday 24th June, 2019).
*Excellence of meeting with a smiling Countenance and Politeness in Speech.* BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
ALLAH, the Exalted, says:
"And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers).'' (15:88)
"And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you.'' (3:159).
Adi bin Hatim (May ALLAH be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of ALLAH (sallalLaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Guard yourselves against the Fire (of Hell) even if it be only with half a date-fruit (given in charity); and if you cannot afford even that, you should at least say a good word.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
This Hadith highlights the point that Sadaqah has great benefits and even in its minimum scope and quantity it can ensure our safety against Hell-fire. We are told that if we do not have even a single date or half of it to give to a needy person, we can manage to have the same benefit by talking to the needy in a compassionate tone, provided we have Faith in our heart. *_We ask ALLAH to protect us from any act that will hurt others_*. Aameen.
