Ask yourself:

– When was the last time you reached out to someone? Do you keep an eye out for people in need?

When you see the sister who comes to masjid iftars, but even at a table full of people, she looks like she’s sitting alone to eat; or the sister who comes occasionally to jumu’ah but never stops to talk because she doesn’t know anyone; or the sister who shows up at an Islamic event, looking out of place and uncomfortable in the scarf loosely draped over her heard – do you go up to these people and say salam? Do you find out who they are, and ask them how they’re doing?

– Are you supportive of others? Do you genuinely care about people and their interests, do you look out for their well-being?

When you meet a sister who’s insecure about her physical appearance, or who’s extremely shy, do you reach out to her, too? Do you find a way to assure people that nothing else matters, that as long as their status with Allah is high (and that’s what we should all be working on), they have nothing to worry about? And do you find ways to say this without embarrassing the person involved?

– Have you ever gone just a little bit farther to let people know they’re loved? Held their hands just a little bit tighter, just a little bit longer? Touched them warmly on the shoulder or the arm? Given them your full attention, turning towards them, smiling?

– In your general interactions and demeanor with people, how do you make others feel? Welcomed and supported? Loved and cherished? If not, what can you do in order to make people genuinely feel that way?

theres so much in this article. but inshaaAllah i'll start with that much.

if you read the article, post what touched you!
