{The believers, in their love, mercy, and kindness to one another are like a body: if any part of it is ill, the whole body shares its sleeplessness and fever.}[1]
• {The most perfect of the believers in faith are the best of them in morals. And the best among them are those who are best to their wives.} [2]

• {The merciful are shown mercy by the All-Merciful. Show mercy to those on earth, and God will show mercy to you.} [4]
• {Smiling at your brother is charity…}[5]
• {A good word is charity.} [6]
• {Whoever believes in God and the Last Day (the Day of Judgment) should do good to his neighbor.}7
• {God does not judge you according to your appearance and your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and looks into your deeds.} [8]
• {Pay the worker his wage before his sweat dries.} [9]
• {A man walking along a path felt very thirsty. Reaching a well, he descended into it, drank his fill, and came up. Then he saw a dog with its tongue hanging out, trying to lick up mud to quench its thirst. The man said, “This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.” So he went down into the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog a drink. So, God thanked him and forgave his sins.} The Prophet was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}[10] _____________________________
