God is kind and likes those who are kind too. If we want God to be kind to us and forgive our sins, the best thing for us to do is to be kind to His creatures.
A believer should be kind to the animals as well; this is because animals are also God’s creation and the Exalted God likes acts of kindness towards them. Hundreds of years ago, there was a sinful man and everybody knew that he is a bad person. One day, he saw a thirsty dog that has brought his tongue out of mouth due to thirst. The sinful man felt sorry for the dog and went near a well to get some water for the dog. He looked around to find a rope but he did not find it. To obtain water, he made a rope using one of the garments he was wearing and tied it to a container and dropped it in the well. Then, he brought the container out of the well and placed it in front of the dog. The dog drank the water and was rescued from thirst.
God told one of Prophets of that time, “I liked the sinful man’s act of kindness towards one of My creatures and I have forgiven all of his sins.”
That prophet conveyed God’s message to the sinful man. When the sinful man heard this, he asked for forgiveness from God and became virtuous person.
