Be kind and tender!
Remember that distress breaks hearts. So, when you see a person in anguish, be the means by which Allah consoles him. In fact, you will get the great reward on the Day of Judgment when everyone will be seeking comfort and consolation.
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) is authentically reported to have said:
“Whoever removes the distress of a Muslim, Allah will remove from him one of the distresses on the Day of Judgment.”
[Narrated by Muslim]
{...And do good as Allah has done good to you.. .}
[Surat al - Qasas: 77]
{...And Allah loves the doers of good.}
[Surat Ᾱl-‘Imrān: 134]
Be gentle with people when things around them get tough.
O Allah, the One Who consoles hearts, console our hearts, strengthen us, and pardon us, O the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!
