Respond to Evil with Kindness (Quran 41:34) | Inspiring Verses of the Quran | Dr. Shabir Ally

How should we respond when we are disrespected or ill-treated by others? The Quran gives us specific advice on how to react more consciously in these situations. It says, “Good and evil cannot be equal. [Prophet], respond to evil with what is most kind, and your enemy will become as close as an old and valued friend.”

In our times, when many people are misinformed about Islam, knowing how to offer the proper response to hatred can be quite challenging. As Muslims, we should remind ourselves that acts of tolerance and kindness should not be reserved only for those who treat us with respect. We must also be patient and excuse people whenever possible for their bad manners and ignorant behaviour. We must remember that when some people treat others in a negative way, it might not be personal; they may be suffering in their own life and taking it out on others. Some people need to receive an elevated response before they can change their opinion of Muslims.

Matt kahn books expand on this "Whatever arises Love That" it doesn't always come natural really, Allah(SWT) knows best yes? ❤

I have been responding to evil with kindness constantly because the Bible tells me to do so. But unfortunately those evil ppl don't believe who i am and continue to do evil to me 😢

Thank finally our Muslim leaders are choosing verses of character building, of present and newer generation .
Instead of wasting time some
Times with esoteric stuff as if every one need to have the scholars knowledge .

Exactly, like not turning Zam Zam into Oil
Water and Oil do not mix
Just like the Malik's and Khan's manifest their agenda through Scriptural texts

Prophet Muhammad was an Angel that came down to earth I think 😇

Till today, we can not reconcile whether the Arabs are true Bani Ismail

Can you please provide evidence from Quran or the Hadith regarding the story about "Mohammad's acts towards the old woman who threw rubbbish in his path". I guess you do use some Hadiths with questionable origins, if they seem to support your narative and falsely promote about your religion being peaceful and your prophet being a decent human being and reject others which show his true nature, take the example of God asking your prophet to stop abusing the idols of the polythiests, maybe when you talk about your prophet being good example to humanity, you really mean to other Muslims because Humanity includes people of other faiths too, especially polythiests (if every muslim should follow your prophet, should they also start abusing gods of other religions, especially Polythiests)?

It’s cute but the prophet did not show any kindness to the ukil Muslims who stole his 8 camels. Their eyes were gouged and limbs cut and left to die.

Is this what Muhammad actually practised? Only Jesus taught and lived up to God's perfect standard. Matthew 5-7. Follow him!
