A Qur’anic reminder for anyone who’s ever been tired of trying to stay kind in a world that doesn’t always give kindness back.
Surah Al Mutaffifin (83):
“Woe to those who give less than due, those who, when they take a measure from people, take in full, but when they give by measure or weight, give less than due.”
Sometimes I think being surrounded by so much dishonesty is a test in itself.
Being lied to.
Watching people pretend to care.
Giving kindness and having it mistaken for weakness.
It gets exhausting.
But maybe the test is whether I can still be honest when people lie to me.
Still be kind when people aren’t.
Still have a sincere heart when sincerity feels so rare.
Allah sees what people don’t.
And maybe one day, every quiet act of kindness, every honest word, every time we chose not to become like the people who hurt us, will be seen for exactly what it was.
Nothing sincere is ever lost with Allah.
