My condolences to the mourners of the martyrdom of Lady Fatima(a.s). She passed away when she was 18 year, about 6 months after the Prophets(s) passing. Her grave has been kept secret from the muslims even until today. She was angry with abu bakr up until her death according to Sahih Bukhari. Among other things she was denied the garden oasis of Fadak that the Prophet(s) had gifted her during his time and the reply she got when she wanted to claim it was that the Prophets do no leave heritage. That is untrue according to the Holy Qur'an. "... So abu bakr refused to give anything to Fatima. So she became angry with abu bakr and kept away him, and did not task to him till she died. She remained alive for six months after the death of the Prophet. When she died, her husband Ali, buried her at night without informing abu bakr and he said the funeral prayer by himself..."

I see, thank you. Then being kind is derived from being humble. Having a balanced kindness is sign of balanced humbleness. So the last question is: To whom should one be kind to?

My respect to the OP for seeking answers on his own and not taking rumors for truth. Seeking truth is noble and rewarded.

I see. But to whom should one be kind to? Also, what do you say about those who act disrespectful if you are kind/respectful but act respectful if your not respectful towards them, how would you say one should handle those situations? If I have understood you correctly, then you are saying that a person that is not kind is also not humble?

Thank you! Do you know if there are english translated version of those books as well?

Thank you! Do you know if there is a book that compiles ALL advises regarding food?

Salam, I was wondering if there is any compilation of information regarding what food is good for you according to hadiths? Something in the lines of explaining what consumables are good for different purposes, etc, natural medicine and so on. Also information regarding the amount of intake would be interesting to see. Thank you for any information given.

That was a nice reply, thank you. So then one must go forward with balanced humility. Would you say that the concept of humility is similar to that of kindness? Can a person be humble but not kind?

Salam, I have been reflecting about kindness and I would like to discuss it with other people. Some times when one is kind to someone, they end up taking it for granted and they might even be disrespectful to the person being kind. That same person would then be respectful if you would be disrespectful towards them instead. Other times when you express kindness, people try and take advantage of it. It is almost as if they are waiting for you to show a bit of kindness just so they can latch on, it is as if they are searching for a weakness in you to exploit. Other times, they do not understand what kindness is and so they do not appreciate it, furthermore they might take your kindness as a sign of simple mindedness and/or general stupidity. What do you think? When should one be kind and how kind should one be? Why should one be kind to begin with? To whom should one be kind?
