A how-to approach.
1. Take the Prophet as our example. Grab every chance to practice his behavior.
“And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” - Quran 21:107
3. Practice gentleness, kindness and avoid being harsh or hard-hearted. Consult with the people involved and make informed decisions by speaking gently. Improve communication. Act with compassion, forgiveness, and ultimately, put your trust in Allah.
“ So by mercy from Allah, you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]. – Quran 3:159
4. Nurture a sound and good heart. The Prophet says,
“There is a piece of flesh in the body if it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart”. Sahih al-Bukhari.
