Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from knowingly associating partners with You in any way, and I seek Your forgiveness for that which I do not know. Ameen.

The Malay community is known for its culture of gentleness and politeness. This situation is in accordance with Islamic teachings that encourage people to adorn themselves with praiseworthy traits. 

If we really live the religion, there is no weakness in social relations even Rasulullah s.a.w. also shows how to behave with family members, neighbors and the community. 

Rasulullah s.a.w. said which means: "You will never be considered a believer until you are merciful. The friend said: "We are all truly merciful." Then His Majesty s.a.w. answered: "I don't mean your mercy to your friends, but rather I mean your mercy to the general (universal world)."  (Hadith narrated by Tabarani) 

Grace is the thing that brings goodness and Islam is a religion that brings peace, harmony, warmth and grace to the whole world involving all creatures. 

In order to guarantee peace and mercy, Islam commands its people to adorn themselves with the nature of compassion which is also a proof of the perfection of one's faith in God. 

This compassion is not only for the closest friends but the whole world, especially the neighbors and those who have family ties. 

The nature of compassion makes us easily touched when we see the hardships of others and vice versa. If such a feeling does not exist in man, it degrades man worse than animals.
