Arabic:

مَا كَانَ الرِّفْقُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ، وَلَا نُزِعَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ

English Translation:

"Gentleness is never in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is never removed from anything except that it disgraces it."

Explanation:

Harsh words and harsh behaviour spoil even a good message. Gentleness makes our words, our homes and our dealings beautiful.

💡 Remember:

Harsh words and harsh behaviour spoil even a good message.
