    Lightbulb Be Compassionate to People. Always Endeavour for the Good of Humanity.

    Peace be on you.

    In the wake of recent events of brutality and oppression which have taken place at various places in the world, it would be appropriate to read and act the following words of wisdoms from Ahmadiyya Muslim Khalifah's sermon:

    ‘True believers and Muslims are enjoined to be gentle and compassionate.’

    ‘Each person should look at himself every day and see as to how much he cares about these matters and how much compassion and good will he has for his brothers.’

    ‘The common purpose of the advent of all Prophets is to establish true and real love of God and to instill special import in love for and rights of humanity and among brothers. Until these are practiced all matters are merely ceremonial.’

    ‘Be compassionate to God’s people and do not oppress them with your tongue, hand or by any other means. Always endeavour for the good of humanity. Do not feel arrogant towards anyone even if they are your subordinate and do not verbally abuse anyone even if they verbally abuse you. Become meek, forbearing and good of intention and be sympathetic to mankind so that you are accepted.’

    ‘What does God want from you but this that you treat all humanity with fairness? More than this do good to those who have never done good to you and more than this be compassionate to God’s creatures as if they were your next of kin; as mothers are with their children…The ultimate degree of good is borne of natural instincts like those of a mother.’

    Good wishes.
    Peace be on you and everyone. Online Books on Moral and Spiritual Reforms.

    That seems like good advice. The "any other means" means for me "thoughts" which it is easy to think have no affect on others.

    Thoughts create the world, as thoughts create words, and words create actions, and actions create the world. When you realize the connection, it's easier to understand how mind and thoughts are linked to physical acts in the world.

    Thanks for your message, Yalash.
