So If you do not have love and affection, you are nothing. If you do not have love and kindness, you gain nothing of that you may boast of doing good deeds. The believer is patient, kind and loving. He does not envy, not boast, he is not proud. Allāh, Our Lord is All-Forgiving, All-Embracing in His love.
