Tawaddud", which means seeking the love of others through kindness, is a great attribute of the believers. "Tawaddud" takes place between people. It also takes place between the Creator and His creatures. One of Allah's beautiful names is "Al-Wadood", which means that Allah loves His righteous slaves or that He is loved by His allies. One gains the love of others by many things: noble morals, overlooking unintentional mistakes, cheerfulness and smiling, visits and communication, checking, giving gifts, kind words, etc. "Tawaddud" is two types: 1. Praiseworthy "tawaddud": it arises from moderate affection toward righteous people. 2. Blameworthy "tawaddud": it arises from showing affection to disbelievers, oppressors, and immoral people.
