Abstract

Kindness is one of the desirable moral traits that reason and Sharia have confirmed and emphasized on adorning with it. The Holy Quran, as the first source of Islamic teachings and teachings, has always commanded kindness to others and praised the benefactors. Since the Quran is a book of wisdom and does not emphasize anything in vain, it can be seen that adorning with this good moral trait has hidden fruits and blessings that one must strive to find and benefit from. Therefore, the question is, what fruits and blessings does kindness have that the Holy Quran, as a book of guidance and wisdom, has emphasized so much? This is a question that the present study was organized to find an answer to. In this study, information was collected using a library method and then processed using a descriptive-analytical method. In this article, first, the concepts related to the problem were clarified and then an attempt was made to explain the fruits and blessings of kindness from the perspective of the Holy Quran. The results of this study show that from the perspective of the Holy Quran, good deeds bring rewards such as hereafter reward, divine guidance, popularity with Allah, expiation of sins, divine assistance, and turning enemies into friends.
