Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, taught us the surest way to attract the blessings of Allah. It is by being kind, compassionate and merciful to Allah's creatures.

He said,

The Most Compassionate (God) is kind on those who are kind to others. If you would show kindness to those who live on the earth, He who lives in the Heaven, shall shower His blessings on you.

(Abu Dawood)

`Abdullah Ibn `Amr reported that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,

The merciful are treated mercifully by the Merciful. Be merciful to those on earth so that Allah will be Merciful to you in the heavens.

Abu Musa reported that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,

You will not be true believers until you are merciful with one another. They said: "O, Messenger of Allah, we are all merciful!" He said: "It is not that you should be merciful to each other, but you should also merciful in general."

[Agreed upon]

Abu Hurayra said,

A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with a child which he began to embrace. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Do you show mercy towards me?' 'Yes,' the man replied. He said, 'Allah is more merciful towards you than you are towards this child. He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.

[Bukhari]

Abu Umama said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

Anyone who shows mercy, even to an animal meant for slaughtering, will be shown mercy by Allah on the Day of Rising.

[Bukhari]

'Umar was heard to say,

Anyone who does not show mercy will not be shown mercy. Anyone who does not forgive will not be forgiven. Anyone who does not turn in repentance will not be turned to nor will he be protected or guarded.

[Bukhari]

Mu'awiya ibn Qurra reported that his father said,

A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, I was going to slaughter a sheep and then I felt sorry for it (or 'sorry for the sheep I was going to slaughter').' He said twice, 'Since you showed mercy to the sheep, Allah will show mercy to you.'

[Bukhari]

Abu Hurayra said,

"I heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the truthful confirmed one, Abu'l-Qasim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Mercy is only removed from the one who is destined for wretchedness."

[Bukhari]

Jarir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

Allah will not show mercy to a person who does not show mercy to other people.

[Bukhari]

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said,

"I heard the truthful Prophet, the owner of this room, Abul Qasim (Peace be upon him) says "Mercy is only plucked out from a wretched person."

[Tirmidhi]

May Allah guide the Ummah and bring peace to those places where Muslims are fighting. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
