What makes existence meaningful is a system of values and beliefs that are linked to well-being and goodness, that adorns ones personal identity, purifies the soul and beautifies their behavior, creates the most outstanding attributes and qualities of human dignity, integrity and decency that allows people in society to build a virtuous and prosperous life. In this sense, generosity, morality and faith encompassing of the layers of the people and communities that shape behavior and attitude is the essence of life.
Giving precedence to kindness, selflessness, altruism and righteousness is directly associated with human nature or related to our personal temperament, for example phrases such as “no” (“Hayir”), “benevolence (ihsan)” and “hospitality” (“ikram”) are expressed and found in our language. The characteristics or qualities which embodies this human condition include; knowledge/wisdom from the Holy Quran, beliefs, values, moral and ethical nature, spiritual well-being, righteousness, God consciousness, faithfulness and giving or aiding those in need from the provisions and sustenance bestowed by Allah Rabbul Jalil.
One of the first things that comes to mind when we think about the virtue of kindness is “charity”, it is the deep understanding of immense imprisonment of physical space and material confinement and is the practice of being benevolent, giving and sharing. The most prevalent uses of the notion of “charity” can be found in the Holy Quran and the Rasulullah ﷺ. Charity comes from truthfulness and is the root of righteousness. It demonstrates our honesty, sincerity and loyalty towards the Creator as a means of reflection and contemplation. Hence, kindness on the one hand is a sign of devotion and adherence to Allah Rabbul Jalil on the other hand it is necessary for unity and peace in a nation.
