When Islam started to take its roots, one of the prime tasks of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was teaching manners and etiquette to the Bedouins who were then entering the fold of Islam. The manners and etiquette taught by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ are still valid and widely adopted, showing their strength and need to enforce quality of social life.
Herein under are some of the etiquettes advised by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ as already published by us:
- Believers! Do not raise your voice when calling thy Lord (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Hadith 2992)
- What protocol is to be accorded to a funeral procession by a believer (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Hadith 1310)
- Etiquettes of eating (Sunan Ibn Majah: Hadith 3349)
- Mention name of Allah before eating (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Hadith 5376)
- Speak what is good or keep silent (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Hadith 6136)
- Etiquettes of Greeting (Sahi al-Bukhārī: Hadith 6234)
- Etiquette of conversation when in a company: Let no two people hold secret counsel (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: Hadith 6290)
- Sharing same food with servant that he made for you (Sunan Ibn Majah, hadith: 3291)
- How should children honour their parents after their death (Sunan Ibn Majah, hadith: 3664)
- Clearing walkways for ease of others (Sunan Ibn Majah, hadith: 3681)
- Prophetic Directive for Bodily Cleanliness
We will continue to develop this page by adding more manners and etiquettes as advised by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ i due course. In the meantime, our readers are requested not only to implement these to them but also advise others so that we improve our mannerism etiquettes both at home and outside.
May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) help us understand Qur'ān and follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, which is embodiment of commandments of Allah contained in the Qur'ān. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door.
وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is Our duty is only to convey to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.
May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
Reading the Qur'ān should be a daily obligation of a Muslim - Reading it with translation will make it meaningful. But reading its Exegesis / Tafsir will make you understand it fully. It will also help the Muslims to have grasp over social issues and their answers discussed in the Qur'an and other matter related to inter faith so that they are able to discuss issues with non-Muslims with authority based on refences from Qur'an.
Note: When we mention God in our posts, we mean One True God, we call Allah in Islam, with no associates. Allah is the Sole Creator of all things, and that Allah is all-powerful and all-knowing. Allah has no offspring, no race, no gender, no body, and is unaffected by the characteristics of human life.
