What Is World Kindness Day 2025 and Why It Matters 

World Kindness Day 2025 falls on Thursday, November 13, it's a global reminder that compassion is powerful. Across the world, people perform simple acts of kindness to bridge divides and spread hope. 
For Muslims, this day mirrors what our faith already teaches: kindness is part of our Iman (faith). Every gesture, whether a smile, a donation, or a prayer for someone in need, has value in the sight of Allah (SWT). 

 

Kindness in Islam: A Reflection of Faith 

Islam places kindness at the heart of worship.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: 

“Allah is Kind and loves kindness in all matters.” (Sahih Muslim) 

This hadith reminds us that mercy and gentleness reflect true strength. Helping a neighbor, visiting the sick, or sharing a meal are not just social acts, they are ibadah (acts of worship). 
In a world that often feels harsh, your kindness can soften hearts and renew faith. 

 

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ -The Ultimate Model of Mercy 

The Messenger of Allah was a living example of compassion. He forgave his enemies, fed the poor, and never turned away those in need. 
His kindness was not limited to humans; it extended to animals and the environment. When we emulate his mercy, we carry forward the legacy of Rahmah (divine compassion). 

 

Acts of Kindness That Count as Sadaqah Jariyah 

Every act of good is charity.

The Prophet ﷺ taught: 

“Every good deed is Sadaqah.” (Bukhari) 

Here are some small acts that earn lasting reward: 

• Provide clean water by building a well or donating to a water appeal. 

• Feed the hungry through hot meals or food parcels. 

• Sponsor an orphan and help a child learn and grow. 

• Share knowledge or a Qur’an that others can benefit from. 
  Each of these is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah, a charity that continues to benefit even after you are gone.
