Treat others with compassion
Compassion is one of the great attributes of Allah which He has also blessed His creatures with. Ibrahim (AS) was extremely soft'hearted, forbearing, and kind. When he learnt of the approaching punishment for the residents of Sodom due to their sins and corrupt ways, Ibrahim (AS) felt grieved for them, and pleaded with Allah to grant them further respite: '…He began to plead with Us for Lut's people. Indeed, Ibrahim was, without doubt, forbearing, compassionate, constantly repentant.' (11:74'75) One cannot hope for Allah’s compassion unless one is compassionate towards others.
