Respect, mercy and paradise

Have mercy, respect others

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), said,"He who does not have mercy on our young, and does not respect our elders is not of us (Tirmidhi).

Who are the most honored?

"Those who control their anger and are forgiving towards people; Allah loves the good." (Qur'an, 3: 134)

"Pardon them and overlook - Allah loves those who do good" (Qur'an 5:13)

The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allâh ordered the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly), then verily! he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.

The man of paradise, forgave others.

The Messenger of Allah was seated in a gathering with the Sahabah when he looked towards the entrance and said, “A man of Paradise is coming."

At that instance someone who seemed to be very ordinary entered the mosque where they were seated. A Sahabi was curious as to why the Prophet said this, so he followed the man to his house.

This Sahabi told the man that he was a traveler and stayed as a guest. For three days the Sahabi saw nothing unusual, so he finally told the man what the Prophet had said and asked him what was so special. The man thought for a long time and said,

“There might be one thing — before going to sleep every night I forgive everyone and sleep with a clean heart."
