BRING EASE TO YOUR BROTHER
Islamic Reminders
If you find someone in need, and you find him stressed, or you know that he has been afflicted with a calamity, then go visit him with the intention of speaking to him until you can bring happiness to his heart.
If you do this, you are performing a great act of worship (‘ibadah). This is from the greatest acts of worship, (as though you are engaged in ‘ibadah) even if you speak to him about worldly matters.
If you go to him and bring happiness to his heart by speaking to him about the worldly matters you see in your land and the interesting things you see, and things that will make him happy, then you are doing one of the most beloved acts of worship to Allāh the Exalted.
