Kindness is a virtue and time is the most important gift that we can give to others.Being kind and generous is the quality of Allah, HE is “GHAFOOR”, “RAHIM”, and owner of countless qualities. Broadly saying, kindness is also a way to success.

“If you mercy to those who are on the earth, HE who is in the heaven will show mercy on you”.(sunan abu dawud, book 41, number 4932)

So I made plan to do some acts of kindness with others, I decide to do them and think what I have learned from them.

The first thing I did was to say Assalm-o-Alaikum to every person I meet within the hostel and the responses were so awesome , when I said salaam to a guard at the gate, he was having his lunch, he answered me so politely and invited me for meal with him and for that I felt so gifted.

The actual act of kindness, I think I did, was to talk with a friend who was so upset because of his mother, who was sick because of high blood pressure at an intense level and after my consolation he was so calm and satisfied after sharing his pain.

The difficult one was to talk to a child begging on the street and ask him the reason behind his that situation. So, I met the one I found first, said salaam and asked him for a cold drink and talked to him about his present condition. At first he was not talking to me even, but after some struggle he told me how his father died and mother gone ill and he come up to begging for their survival.

I am a hostelite, we have sweepers to clean up our rooms. When a sweeper came to my room to clean it. When he was doing his job, I brought a cup of tea for him and have some words of sympathy with him. After that whenever we meet, we say salaam and pass a smile to each other.

The last but not the least is, I sent a good morning text message and salaam to my friends and “ask them how are you?”. And I want to make this my habit forever.

These were some little acts of kinds which we all can do just to get self satisfaction and happiness without any expense.

From this experience I believe that kindness can turn animals into humans and if it is true, then, we are already humans, what will be our level after getting this skill of being kind to others.Must think over it.
