Now has come  to you Our Messenger (Muhammad SAW)  explaining  to you much of that  which you used to hide from the  Scripture and  passing over (i.e.  leaving out without explaining) much.  Indeed, there  has come to you  from Allâh a light (Prophet Muhammad  SAW ) and a plain  Book (this  Qur'ân).    Wherewith Allâh guides all those who seek His  Good  Pleasure to ways  of peace, and He brings them out of darkness by  His  Will unto light  and guides them to a Straight Way (Islâmic  Monotheism).  }    [Quran Surah  Ma'idah 5:15-16] Indeed, the message of Islam is about submitting  to  Allah and worhipping  him alone. All people have a choice regarding   this message. There is no  compulsion in following Islam or not. It is   not upon any Muslim to  force another to do any action.     <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Justice:</li> </ul>Allah says in the Quran:O  you who believe! Stand out firmly for  justice, as witnesses to  Allâh,  even though it be against yourselves, or  your parents, or your  kin, be  he rich or poor, Allâh is a Better  Protector to both (than  you). So  follow not the lusts (of your hearts),  lest you may avoid  justice, and  if you distort your witness or refuse to  give it, verily,  Allâh is Ever  Well Acquainted with what you do      [4:135] So, Muslims are those who strive to attain  justice,  between themselves  and with other people.   Allah, most high, also says:  (They like to)  listen to falsehood, to  devour  anything forbidden. So if they come to  you (O Muhammad SAW),  either  judge between them, or turn away from  them. If you turn away  from them,  they cannot hurt you in the least.  And if you judge, judge  with justice  between them. Verily, Allâh loves  those who act justly.      [5:42]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Prophet was a Mercy for Mankind</li> </ul>And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW)   not  but as a mercy for the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinns and all  that   exists). [21:107]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Patience  and  Forgiveness</li> </ul>"Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good,   and turn  away from the foolish (i.e., don't punish them).'' (7:199) "...who repress anger, and who pardon men;  verily, Allah loves   Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).'' (3:134)    "The good deed and the evil deed cannot be  equal. Repel (the  evil)  with one which is better (i.e., Allah orders the  faithful  believers to  be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse  those who  treat them  badly) then verily he, between whom and you there  was  enmity, (will  become) as though he was a close friend. But none is   granted it (the  above quality) except those who are patient - and none   is granted it  except the owner of the great portion (of happiness in the   Hereafter,  i.e., Jannah and of a high moral character) in this  world.''   (41:34,35)      The way (of blame) is only against those  who   oppress men and wrongly rebel in the earth, for such there will be  a   painful torment. (42:42)"And  verily, whosoever shows patience and  forgives that would truly  be from  the things recommended by Allah.''  (42:43)    <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Islam Encourages Kindness and Humility:</li> </ul>In the Noble Quran, Allah, the most   gracious most high says:And  by the Mercy of   Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been  severe and   harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you;  so pass over   (their faults), and ask (Allah's) Forgiveness for them;  and consult  them  in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision,  put your  trust in  Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their  trust (in  Him).      [3:159] The Prophet Muhammad   <img src="http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/images/smilies/saws.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  said: "Allah  is not kind to him who is not kind to  people." [Muslim & Bukhari]Aishah  (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:      The Messenger of Allah  (PBUH) said, "Allah is  Forbearer  and loves forbearance in all  matters.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Mildness also brings human beings closer to one  another, and on  this  count, Allah likes it very much.   `Aishah (May Allah  be pleased with him) reported:    The  Prophet (PBUH) said, "Allah is Forbearer and  He  loves forbearance, and  rewards for forbearance while He does not  reward  severity, and does not  give for any thing besides it  (forbearance).'' [Muslim] Mildness  is the opposite of harshness. Allah  enjoins softness and  dislikes  stiffness in human relations. Allah  assures of reward for  gentle  behaviour in society, not for unkindness  or anything like that.   However, inflexibility is preferred to  flexibility when there arises a   question of religious matters and the  limits set by Allah.   Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:  Messenger  of Allah  (PBUH) said,  "Shall I  not tell you whom the  (Hell) Fire is  forbidden to touch? It is  forbidden to touch a man who is  always  accessible, having polite and  tender nature.'' [At-Tirmidhii]. Abu Hurairah (May Allah  be pleased with him)  reported  : A  man  asked the Prophet (PBUH) to give him advice,  and he (PBUH) said,  "Do  not get angry.'' The man repeated that several  times and he (PBUH)   replied (every time), "Do not get angry.'' [Al-Bukhari]. Jarir bin `Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him)  reported:  Messenger  of Allah (PBUH) said,   "He  who is deprived of  forbearance  and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of  all good.'' [Muslim]. Abdullah ibn Abbas, the Prophet’s  cousin, stated  that he heard the  Prophet saying:   “A  believer is not the one who  eats his fill when  his neighbour is  hungry.” [Related by   Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab  Al-Mufrad, Al-Hakim and Al-Baihaqi].<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gentleness   and Forgiveness are the Keys to  paradise and an attribute of a True   Muslim</li> </ul>{And  march forth in the way  (which leads  to) forgiveness from your Lord,  and for Paradise as wide  as are the  heavens and the earth, prepared  for Al-Muttaqûn (the  pious).Those who spend [in Allâh's Cause - deeds  of   charity, alms, etc.] in prosperity and in adversity, who repress   anger,  and who pardon men; verily, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn(the    gooddoers).}    [3:  133-134] So, the Muttaqun and Muhsinun, i.e. the Muslims are  those who  share  these amazing qualities. It is something each and  every Muslim  must  attain.  Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:   I  never felt any piece of  velvet or silk  softer than the palm of the  Messenger of Allah (PBUH),  nor did I smell  any fragrance more pleasant  than the smell of  Messenger of Allah  (PBUH). I served him for ten years,  and he never  said `Uff' (an  expression of disgust) to me. He never said  `why did  you do that?' for  something I had done, nor did he ever say  `why did  you not do such and  such' for something I had not done.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].  Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:  The  Messenger of Allah  (PBUH) said,     "The dearest and nearest among you  to me on the Day  of  Resurrection will be one who is the best of you in  manners; and  the  most abhorrent among you to me and the farthest of you  from me  will be  the pompous, the garrulous, and Al-Mutafaihiqun.'' The   Companions asked  him: "O Messenger of Allah! We know about the pompous   and the  garrulous, but we do not know who Al-Mutafaihiqun are.'' He   replied:  "The arrogant people.'' [At-Tirmidhi]. This gentleness,  kindness, patience must be shown  to all people. This   includesnon-Muslims. For  Islam teaches Muslims, not only to tolerate   non-Muslims but to show  kindness to everyone we are at peace with. To   deal with other people in  a just, fair and mild manner is something  that  is encouraged. The  Prophet Muhammad <img src="http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/images/smilies/saws.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  and his companions were  leading example  in this. - Infact, kindness is not simply limited to people,    The Prophet  <img src="http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/images/smilies/saws.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  also said:"Those who are kind and   considerate to  Allah's creatures, Allah bestows His kindness and   affection on them.  Show kindness to the creatures on the earth so that   Allah may be kind  to you." [Abu  Dawud and Tirmidhi] Islam emphasises justice, equality between race,  gender and rich  and  poor.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
