Treat With Mercy to Receive The Same - A Motivational Story on Loving Others

As Salaamu 'alaykum and peace to all,

Treat With Mercy to Receive The Same - A Motivational Story on Loving Others



My brother's daughter, soon-to-be one year old dotes and loves my dad to the max, mashaAllaah. If she cries, one person who can make her stop is her grandpapa. She can simply sits with him on his lap for hours (no kidding!) while my dad reads his books. To her, as long as my dad is just beside her, life is wonderful!

She melts my heart, mashaAllaah.

Both of them reminded me of this beautiful hadeeth from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (may Allaah's peace and blessings be upon him),

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali while Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, "I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone of them," Allah's Apostle cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully." {Sahih Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 26}

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has advised us to always be merciful which means to be kind, compassionate, gracious, loving, caring, warm and merciful to others in order to receive the same treatment. Just look at what Prophet (pbuh) did.



He kissed his grandson, mashaAllaah. He expressed his love to his grandson without shyness, you agree? it is so heart-warming when we think about it, right? Dont you think this hadeeth reflected how gentle, kind and loving Prophet (pbuh) was? How many of us nowadays could show affections in the open? Are we merciful to others and show them gentleness and kindness? Are we compassionate to others? Are we loving and caring enough, not only to children but to all those are around us, as how Prophet (pbuh) had demonstrated?


I will always keep this advice close to my heart, inshaAllaah.

What about you my brothers and sisters?

Let us all take heed, InshaAllaah...

...Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully...

Think about it...
