Be kind but not a doormat

As Muslims we should always strive to be the best versions of ourselves. This includes being kind and compassionate towards others.

However, it's important to remember that kindness should not be mistaken for weakness. We are encouraged to stand up for ourselves and assert our needs and rights.

The saying "closed mouths don't get fed" reminds us that we should not hesitate to speak up and advocate for ourselves when necessary.

By finding the balance between kindness and assertiveness, we can maintain our self-respect while still treating others with love and compassion.
