This is a collection of Islamic Manners that form the etiquette of our pious Muslim predecessors. I introduced it in a clear and understandable way so that you may practice it. The best place to follow these manners is at your house and the houses of your brothers. Do not overlook these etiquettes when dealing with your family and your Muslim brethren.
Your immediate family and friends are the most deserving of your good conduct and manners. In this regard, Bukhari and Muslim reported that a man asked the prophet (pbuh): 'Oh, Prophet of Allah, who deserves my best behaviour? The prophet answered: 'your mother! Your mother! Your mother! Then your father, then the closer, and the closer among your relatives.'
Do not overlook these manners when interacting with the appropriate people, and act nicely and amicably with others. If you do not behave properly, you degrade yourself, abuse the duty that you are entrusted with, and abandon the guidance of the messenger of Allah (pbuh). Rely on Allah to attain his pleasures and the manners of his religion, for it is he who protects the virtuous people.
May Allah protect you, your relatives and your beloved ones. May Allah help you obey his orders, remain obedient to him, and follow the example of his prophet. May Allah grant you his love, grace and his generosity. May Allah pray upon his prophet and messenger Muhammad, his family and his companions. All praise to Allah, the lord of the universe. Ameen.
This was written in the hope of receiving your prayers.
