Manners





1.DO NOT SPEAK IN A LOUD VOICE

 "And be moderate in thy pace and lower thy voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass." [Surah Luqman (31):19]

 2. WHENEVER YOU MEET SOMEONE GREET HIM WITH A REAL SMILE FIRST AND THEN SHAKE HANDS WITH HIM

 [This applies only when a person meets another person of the same sex, i.e. when two males meet, or when two females meet].

 The Prophet (SalAllahu A'lyhe Wasallam) said: If two Muslims meet, shake hands, praise Allah, and ask Him for forgiveness, they will be forgiven.
[Sunan Abi Dawood]

 3. CALL YOUR BROTHER BY GOOD NAMES, USING MORE FREQUENTLY THE NAMES WHICH HE LIKES THE MOST. ALSO, DO NOT MOCK OTHERS, WHETHER OLDER OR YOUNGER.

 O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former):nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (Indeed) doing wrong.           
[Surah Al-Hujurat (49):11]

 4. WHEN SPEAKING TO A PERSON, YOU SHOULD PAY DUE RESPECT TO HIM AND TALK IN A FRIENDLY TONE. YOU SHOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HIM FEEL ASHAMED OR TO DOMINATE HIM

 O ye who believe! Fear Allah and (always) say a word directed to the Right:
[Surah Al-Ahzab (33): 70]

 A Muslim is a brother to another Muslim. He should neither tyrannize him, nor hold him in contempt.  [Sahih Muslim]

 5.          YOU SHOULD NOT SUSPECT AND BACKBITE ANYONE. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU SHOULD NOT FIND FAULT WITH ANYBODY IN HIS ABSENCE. YOU SHOULD RATHER APPRISE OTHERS OF THEIR FAULTS IN A POLITE MANNER.

 O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: and spy not on each other nor speak ill of each other behind their backs.  Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay ye would abhor it...but fear Allah: for Allah is Oft-Returning Most Merciful. [Surah Al-Hujurat (49): 12]

 6.     LEARN TO ADMIT YOUR FAULTS
He [Moses (AlyheSalam)] prayed: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul! Do Thou then forgive me!" So (Allah) forgave him: for He is the Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. [Surah Al-Qasas (28): 16]

 The Prophet (SalAllahu A'lyhe Wasallam) said: "When a person admits his fault and seeks Allah's forgiveness, Allah does forgive him."  [Bukhari]

 7. SPARE NO EFFORTS TO SERVE OTHERS SELFLESSLY WITH BOTH WORDS AND DEEDS AND, IF POSSIBLE, PROVIDE MATERIAL HELP TO THEM, PARTICULARLY TO YOUR PARENTS AND CLOSE RELATIVES.

Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him: and do good to parents kinsfolk orphans those in need neighbors who are near neighbors who are strangers the companion by your side the way-farer (ye meet) and what your right hands possess: Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful. [Surah An-Nisa'a (4): 36]

Allah loves His servant as long as he keeps helping his brother in faith.  [Muslim]

 8. CONTROL YOUR ANGER AND ABSTAIN FROM ASSUMING SUPERIOR AIRS

 Whenever you get angry, you should say:  "A'oudho Billahi Minash Shaitaanir Rajeem"  
 (I seek refuge with Allah from accursed Satan). 

  Those who spend (freely) whether in prosperity or in adversity; who restrain anger and pardon (all) men; for Allah loves those who do good. [Surah Aal-i-Imran (3): 134]

Before setting out for Hajj

  Before setting out for Hajj: The Most Important Spiritual Preparation for Every Pilgrim Hajj is not just a journey of the body — it is a journey of the heart. Long before a pilgrim steps onto the plane, long before the ihrām is worn, and long before the talbiyah rises from the tongue, the heart must be prepared to stand before Allah in the most sacred days of a believer’s life. Among all the checklists, packing guides, and logistical preparations, there is one question every pilgrim must ask: “What is the most important thing I should do before Hajj in terms of my ʿaqīdah and inner state?” The answer, according to the scholars of the past and present, is beautifully simple: Purify your Tawḥīd and  make sincere tawbah. Everything else flows from these two foundations. 1. Renewing Tawḥīd: The Heart of Hajj Hajj is the greatest physical expression of Tawḥīd. Every ritual — from the talbiyah to the ṭawāf — proclaims the Oneness of Allah. For this reason, the heart must be c...

O you who have believed...(Part-1)

    O you who have believed Let us have a look at all the signs in the Noble Quran where Allah, the Almighty addresses the Believers directly. It is important to know what Allah, the Almighty says to those who profess their belief and Faith in Him. As believers in the One True God, Allah, we must have a closer look at all the commands that have been given by our Merciful Lord addressing us directly: O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient. 2:153 O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship. 2:172 O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of ... in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: 2:178 O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -2:183 O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the foot...

Why I wear Hijab.

The topic of Hijab has always been a controversial topic for many among those who are not Muslims and even among those who are Muslims.  When something is not understood clearly and is approached with a stance that is personal and emotional then it is indeed a matter of doubt and uncertainty. But, when you intend to understand something sincerely and try to find out its origin and meaning from the most authentic sources then there remains no doubt and hesitation and you tend to accept it readily with ease. The same goes for the topic of Hijab. Most of the people think that Hijab is a choice and not a command by Allah in the Noble Quran and they present various points to prove it.  I am just a student of Al Quran and I myself did not wear Hijab till I entered University. But one fine day, by the Will of Allah, I was reading the Chapter 24 The Light (An Noor) in the Quran. I came across the famous verses on Hijab and I felt something inside my heart. I realized that these are...
