Importance of Doing Good to People in Irfan

Dr. Thubati said: 'One of the things he (Shaykh Rajab Ali Khayyat r.a) highly stressed was doing good to people. He regarded this as extremely valuable and viewed it as one of very close and effective ways in faring the path to Allah. Thereupon, when one failed in his spiritual seeking, he would recommend:

"Do not be negligent of benevolence and do good (to people as much as you are able to)."

'Serve the needy as long as you can in you life, either through your words, money, pen, or (taking) steps.'
