Human Kindness in Islam

Nasiruddin was the slave of a king, and very fond of hunting. One day
he came across a very pretty baby deer and picked it up and rode away.
The mother deer saw Nasiruddin take her baby and followed
himanxiously. Nasiruddin, pleased with the baby dear, was thinking
about presenting it to his childrento play with. After a time, he
chanced to look back and saw the mother deer following him, her
expression full of grief. He noticed too that she did not seem to care
about herown safety. Moved to pity, Nasiruddin set the baby deer free.
The mother deer nuzzled and licked her baby fondly and the two deer
leapt happily away into the forest. But many times the mother deer
looked back at Nasiruddin, as if to express her thanks.
That night Nasiruddin dreamt that the revered Prophet (صلى الله عليه
وسلم) was addressing him: 'Nasiruddin, your name hasbeen entered in
the list of Allah , and you will one dayhave a kingdom. But remember
that when you are king you will also have many responsibilities. Just
as you have shown mercy to the deer today, you should be merciful to
all Allah's creatures. You should not forget your people by falling
into a life of luxury.'
This dream came true and Nasiruddin did become king, Amir Nasiruddin
Subaktagin, father of Sultan Muhammad .
The moral of the story is that if we wish Allah to be merciful to us,
we must be eager to show mercy to all the living creatures of the
earth.
When a flower blooms, its colour and scent first touchthe garden near
it, and then spread. In the same way, a Muslim 's acts of human
kindness should first touch those nearest tohim, his family and his
neighbours.
