"DEALING WITH PEOPLE" SERIES- Part 1

PATIENCE AND SMILING

Allah The Exalted says "and speak good to the people" [Surah Baqarah verse:83]

Patience is necessary when it comes to dealing with people.

Some people may hurt you, betray you and not understand you when you explain them. But you have to deal with them with patience. 

Its just human nature when some people have different opinion and views than you, they start contradicting with you. But Islam doesn't teach that. All Muslims have to accept the differences of our friends, relatives and siblings, get over it and treat them with justice because Allah made every soul  differently. Just because your friend is talkative and you are quiet doesn't mean you need a new friend to meet your special "quiet" needs. That's just ridiculous. 

Nowadays, people are extremely choosy when it comes to friendship, marriage, some behaviors etc. when its comes to maintaining relationships. It not like picking up clothes, food or shoes of your choice. Its people we're talking about. We need to look and observe the hearts rather than looking at few picky annoying habits. If that would have been the case, we would have been loner by now. 

We, as Muslims need to treat our enemies with kindness so imagine how are we treating our parents, siblings and relatives?? Probably worse than enemies.

Jarir R.A narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) said,"He who is deprived of gentleness is deprived of goodness" [Sahih Muslim 6598]

Be good to those who are good to you and be good to those who aren't good to you. This is the Muslim positivity. That's because we aren't pleasing anyone, we are intending to please Allah!

So smile, as it is a sunnah! How many people can you smile at when you wake up today? Probably your whole house first. Just because you smiled, they will return you a smile and a circle of smile begins. Forgive constantly and forget it like it never happened. You will have a great feeling of positivity in your life and life wouldn't seem as horrible as it sounds like. 

"Spread the sunnah by your actions if people can't understand your speech"
