THOSE NEAR TO THE PROPHET AND THOSE WHO ARE FAR

635

“The dearest and closest of you to me on the Day of Judgement will be those who are the best behaved amongst you; and the most disliked among you and the farthest from me will be the pompous, boastful and the arrogant.”

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Jabir who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

GENTLENESS AND FORBEARANCE

Allah, the Exalted says:

“..... for those who curb their anger

and those who forgive people.

And Allah loves the charitable.” 3:134 Koran

“Accept the easing, order with fine jurisprudence,

and avoid the ignorant. 7:199 Koran

“Good and evil deeds are not equal.

Repel with that which is most just,

and see, the one whom there is enmity between you

will be as if he were a loyal guide.

But none will receive it

except those who are patient,

and, none shall receive it,

except he who has a great share.” 41:34-35 Koran
