“We have forgotten who we were meant to be, because we have forgotten that we find God not in ourselves, finally, but in our care for our neighbor, in the stranger, including those outside the nation and the faith. The religious life is not designed to make you happy, or safe or content; it is not designed to make you whole or complete, to free you from anxieties and fear; it is designed to save from yourself, to make possible human community, to lead you to understand that the greatest force in life is not power or reason but love.”

The Almighty will say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I was sick but you did not visit Me. He will say: My Lord, how can I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? The Almighty will say: Did you not know that my servant was sick and you did not visit him, and had you visited him you would have found Me with him? Source: Sahih Muslim
