Every religion has a distinctive virtue, and the distinctive virtue of Islam is modesty.
Anyone who walks with a wrong doer in order to strengthen him knowing all the while that he is a wrong doer, has departed from Islam.

That person is nearest to God, who pardons, when he has someone in his power, one who would have injured him.

All Muslims are as one person. If one complains of a pain in the head, the whole body complains; and if the eye complains, the whole body complains.
All Muslims are like one foundation, some parts strengthening others; in such a way they must support each other.
Assist your brother or sister Muslim, whether he be an oppressor or an oppressed. โBut how shall we do it when someone is an oppressor?โ Muhammad said, โ๐ผ๐จ๐จ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ง ๐๐จ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ค๐ก๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฃ.โ
The exercise of religious duties will not atone for the fault of an abusive tongue. A person cannot be a Muslim till his heart and tongue are so.
Certainly, people will follow you, and certainly people will come to you from all quarters of the earth to understand religion; when they come to you, guide them toward goodness.
The best jihad (lit. striving) is a just word before a tyrannical authority.
I came to Medinah, and saw a man whose counsels men obeyed, and he never said anything but they obeyed him. I said, โWho is this man?โ They said, โThis is the Rasul of God.โ Then I went to him and said, โGive me advice.โ Prophet Muhammad said, โAbuse nobody.โ And I never did abuse anybody after than, neither freeman nor slave, nor camel nor goat. And he added, โAnd if a man abuse you, and reveal a vice which he knew in you then do not disclose one which you know in him.โ

You will not enter paradise until you have faith; and you will not complete your faith, till you love one another.
A man asked, โO Prophet of God! What is faith?โ The Prophet said, โWhen your good work gives you pleasure, and your evil work grieves you, and you are a person of faith.โ The man said, โAnd what is sin?โ he said, โWhen anything disturbs you within yourself, forsake it.โ

Anyone of you who sees wrong, let him undo it with his hand; and if he cannot, then let him speak against it with his tongue, and if he cannot do this either, then (let him abhor it) with his heart, and this is the least of faith.
If you rely upon God as He ought to be relied upon, He will provide you as He provides the birds; they go out empty and hungry in the morning and come back big-bellied at eventide.

He is true who protects his brother or sister both present and absent.
What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the wrongs of the injured.
Whoever who tries to remove the want of his brother or sister, whether successfully or not, God will forgive their sins.
The best of people is one from whom good accrues to humanity.

Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever has not kindness has not faith.
Anyone who kills a sparrow for nothing, it will cry aloud to God on the day of resurrection, saying, โO My Lord! such and such a man killed me for nothing, he never killed me for any good.โ
An adulteress was pardoned, who passed by a dog at a well holding out his tongue from thirst which was nearly killing him; for she took off her short boot and tied it to her wrapper, and pulled water for him; so was she pardoned for that. It was asked, โShall we then have any reward for (our behavior to) the animals?โ โThere are rewardsโ said the Prophet, โfor all endowed with fresh and tender hearts.โ
We were on a journey with the prophet when we saw a finch with two young ones. We took away the two young ones and the mother bird fluttered around. Then the Prophet came and said, โWho has distressed her by taking away her young ones? Return her young ones to her.โ The Prophet also saw the abode of ants which we had burnt, and said, โWho has burnt this?โ We said, โWe (have done this).โ The Prophet said, โIt is not proper that any one should punish another by fire unless it be the Lord of fire himself.โ

The best of your leaders are those whom you love and who love you, for whom you pray, and who pray for you; and the worst of your leaders are those whom you hate, and who hate you, whom you curse, and who curse you.
The Prophet Muhammad said, โMy Cherisher has ordered me nine things: (1) To reverence Him, externally and internally; (2) to speak true, and with propriety, in prosperity and adversity; (3) moderation in affluence and poverty; (4) to benefit my relations and kindred who do not benefit me; (5) to give alms to him who refuses me; (6) to forgive him who injures me; (7) that my silence should be in attaining knowledge of God; (8) that when I speak, I should mention Him; (9) that when I look on Godโs creatures, it should be as an example for them.โ
