Hadith – Doing Good No Matter What

In light of the terrorist attacks in New Zealand and Sri Lanka, it behooves us to remember that doing good is not optional. Nor is it conditional on others doing good to you.

"Do not be the people without minds of your own; saying that if others treat you well, you will treat them well; and that if they do wrong, you will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourself to do good if people do good, and not to do wrong, even if they do evil." 
- Prophet Muhammad, quoted by Al Tirmidhi
