kindness to children
one day prophet muhammad was passing by a place with a few of his friends.
they saw a group of children playing.
the children asked prophet muhammad to watch them play. prophet muhammad
cheerfully agreed and watched their game till it ended, even though it took
a long time.
after the game ended one of prophet muhammad's friends asked, "you were going
to work. why did you agree to the request of a few children and wait all
this time to watch them play ?
the prophet answered, "i did not want to turn down their request. perhaps
they would feel hurt."
everybody became happy and prophet muhammad's friends too became happy. they
were all happy from the happiness of the children.
islam wants people to be kind to children.
