THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm As-Sabt. 29th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Saturday, 14th October, 2023). *_KINDNESS IS OBLIGATORY EVEN TO NON MUSLIMS_*. BismilLah.
ALLAH says:
Worship ALLAH and associate nothing with HIM, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away. Surah An-Nisa 4:36.
Scholars interpreted the “neighbor farther away” to mean not only proximity, but one who is further away in religion or beliefs.
Al-Qurtubi comments on this verse, saying:
I say based upon this verse, kind treatment of neighbors is enjoined and is recommended, whether they are Muslim or an unbeliever, and this is the right thing to do. Kind treatment may be in the sense of helping or it may be in the sense of being kind, refraining from harm, and supporting them.

Islam teaches us to beware of hatred, malice, and the intention to harm others. They are spiritual diseases of the heart whose consequences are destructive to the individual, the community, and the religion.
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا
Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of ALLAH as brothers. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2559. Please remember to make dua for our brothers under any oppression and grant us success over the kuffar. Aameen.
*_May ALLAH, AL-HAADI (The only ONE who Guides) keep guiding us all_*. Aameen.
