Abstract
At the introduction it is written that “this small message… takes you to the vastness of the benevolence of Islam as you can walk through its shades, and pick up its ripen fruit to let goodness widespread in the Islamic nation, empowering the bonds become as one (i.e. they will become one unity), and the least in rank has the right to protect whom he wishes, and they (Muslims) become one hand against their enemies, and they take the hand of the lost humanity in the ways of darkness to the right path- the path of light”. Al-Hilali says that “benevolence appears in every matter in Islam; whether enjoined or forbidden matters, whether a small or big. It works as a new revival for ethics in its essence, ways, manners, and strategies (or systems)”. In some other pages he follows up saying “benevolence of Islam is a concept which is deeper that the modern humanitarian concept for benevolence of Islam oversteps visuals and appearances to the essence and inner side of the soul, and benevolence of Islam lasts forever unlike the modern humanitarian concept which dies as soon as the human progeny has come to an end on earth, but benevolence of Islam connects the Muslims with the hereafter when he will be admitted by his Lord’s mercy to the Gardens of Delight and gain his proportion of Paradise as much as he dealt in benevolence (with others in this world)”.
