Religion: The Manners of a Muslim 11/28/2009
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Let him who believes in Allah and the Last Day, either speak good or keep silent, and let him who believes in Allah andthe Last Day be generous to his neighbour, and let himwho believes in Allah and the Last Day be generous to his guest. - [Bukhari and Muslim] This hadith is a reminder for us that a Muslim should have the best character and the best manners. It sometimes occurs that because of the tasks of daily life, we forget or neglect to guard those traits. Although the hectic nature of our lives leaves us little time for self reflection, it is essential that we at least try to do this. Self-reflection will help us to analyze our behaviour, find our weaknesses, and begin the process of aligning our behaviour with the behaviour and teachings of our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who was the most excellent and best example of good manners and righteous character. May Allah give us success in that endeavour. Ameen.  CommentsLeave a Reply | Writers WantedCategoriesAll ArchivesFebruary 2012 About Us
