How should the devoted servant of God deal with those around him, especially some of the committed, in order to attain God's pleasure?
The sincere Muslim treats people according to what Allah has legislated, with good character and the fulfillment of rights, with peace, smiles, kind words, and humility. This is indicated by His (the Most High) saying: (And speak to people good words), and His saying: (And tell My servants to say that which is best). This is also indicated by prophetic hadiths such as: "And associate with people with good character," and "Exchange gifts, you will love one another," and "Spread peace among yourselves," and "That you speak to your brother with a cheerful face is a good deed."
It is recommended to be patient with the injustice of the wrongdoer, to be forbearing and forgiving, and to repel evil with good, especially with relatives, friends, and neighbors, because of His (the Most High) saying: (And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] with that which is better).
