Having good manners 🤝is a trait of the prophets, truthful and righteous people. High degrees and ranks are achieved by following good manners.

💞💐💐💐💐💐💞💐💐💐💐💐💞

Almighty Allah devotes a verse in the Qur’an about the manners of the Prophet (PBUH), it relates all the high morals and best of manners to the Prophet (PBUH). Allah says in the Qur’an: “And verily, you (O Muhammad) are on an exalted standard of character.” (Al-Qalam: 4).

Having🤝🙏 good manners in Islam is of a high status and favorable position. 

There are many texts that praise the good behaviors and encourage following and adhering to them. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The believers with the most perfect faith are those with the most perfect conduct and manners. And the best ones amongst you are those who are best to their families.” (Al-Tirmidhi) The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Mankind has not been given anything better than good manners.” (Sahih al-Jami').

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Narrated Anas Ibn Malik (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said to him.”

Good manners mean 😊smiling at people’s faces, helping them, doing goodness, treating people with kindness, and not to hurt anyone. In short, they are every positive conduct by Muslims such as good words, forbearance, anger suppression and forgiveness.

Now let’s look at the great reward and absolute goodness of people with good manners:💞💐

♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️♦️♥️

✅🤝Having good manners and character is the heaviest good deed in your Balance according to what the Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) said:

✔🤝“Nothing will be placed in the Balance (in the Day of Resurrection) heavier than good conduct.” (Al-Tirmidhi no. 2003; al-Albany no. 5721, classified it as Hadith Sahih)

✅ 🤝Having good manners and character makes you the most beloved and closest to the Prophet (PBUH) in the Day of Resurrection. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The most beloved of you to me and the closest of you to me in the Hereafter are those of you who have the best manners; the most hated of you to me and farthest from me in the Hereafter are those of you who have the worst manners, those who speak and do not even care about what they are saying” (Sahih al-Jami).

✅🤝Having good manners and character is the way to enter Paradise and reach the highest status in Paradise.

The Prophet (PBUH) said: “I am a leader, in a house in the lowest place of Paradise; of the people who leave the argument even they were right.  I am a leader, in a house in the middle of Paradise, of the people who leave the lies even though I was a joke. I am a leader, in a house in the highest place of Paradise, of the people who have high morals.” (Narrated by Abo Dawood, hadith no. 4800, approved by Albany in Sahih Attargheeb, hadith no. 2648).

✅🤝Having good manners and character will enable the Muslim to reach by them the rank of the person who always prays at night and fasts during the day. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “The person of good manners will get the same reward as the person who prays during the night and fasts during the day” (Sahih Al-Jami).

✅🤝 In another hadith the Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) mentions the reward 🎖🏆for one who is a musaddat, the one who is always trying to fill in the gaps between other Muslims by being social, friendly, and having good manners.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

He (PBUH) said: “The Muslim who is musaddat reaches the darajat as-sawwam al-qawwam.” Sawwam is the one who continually fasts and the qawwam is the one who continually stands in prayer.

So the Muslim who is very social🚹🚺🤝, has good manners, and is fulfilling the rights of his brothers, reaches the level of the one who continually fasts and prays just because of his good manners.

 

My dear Muslim brothers and sisters! 

🤝How many good deeds have we missed by our heedlessness of the greatness of good manners? This is an invitation to get the highest rank in the present life and in the Hereafter by following the best conduct and praised attitude. We should lead and encourage ourselves to follow good manners and strive for having them.

🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝

By this, we will be following the best human and greatest role model of humanity, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him).

We should follow his example of how he treated his wives, his children, his neighbors, his companions, the Muslims and even disbelievers and infidels.

Indeed never lose the opportunity to do good deeds, even if they are little, for Allah never allows to be lost the reward of those who do good deeds for the sake of Allah.

Ameen🤲

These 7 Major Sins Will Land A Muslim In Hellfire In The Light Of Holy Quran!

🚫Sin is one of the most important concepts in Islam. In its essence, it is an act that goes against the teaching of Allah SWT, specifically the ones that were strictly forbidden and prohibited by the superior power. As we know, this beautiful religion is a complete guide and code to life; teaching its followers how to live a successful, sin-less and righteous existence that will not only attain them the acceptance of Allah SWT but also Jannah.

However, Islam, as it is known for being a religion of peace, is actually a religion that understands human nature. After all, the holy book was sent down by the very deity that created  human.The Prophet’s cousin Ibn Abbas extends the list to 70, augmenting it with failure to observe daily prayer, evasion of zakat, not fasting on the days of Ramadan, not performing Hajj, eating non-Halal food, stealing, bearing false witness, drinking alcohol, disrespecting one’s parents.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

These are the 7 major sins.⚡❌

One thing that needs to be kept in mind is any sin, whether minor or major has repercussions onto one’s soul. It slowly spoils it, diverting it from the word of Allah and enlightenment pushing it into darkness. This leads to restlessness, depression and to more sins. Controlling one’s nafs is the real challenge for a Muslim in this temporary world.

1. Shirk🗿🚫.

In Islam means placing someone equal to that of Allah SWT or in other words, ascribing a partner or rival to Allah SWT in Lordship, worship or in His names and attributes.

There are two types of shirk.

a) Greater shirk.

b) Lesser shirk.

Greater shirk nullifies your deeds and lands you in hell-fire for all eternity. Allah SWT does not forgive those who commit greater shirk. No one equals to the Almighty and by placing anyone or anything besides him in worship or otherwise, is a major sin.

Allah says in the Quran, “Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives except that (anything else) to whom He pleases,” (An-Nisa 4:48).

Lesser shirk is that which is talked about in the Quran or the Sunnah but doesn’t come under the category of greater shirk.

2. Magic☠💀

The Arabic word for magic is sihr.

Allah SWT says, “So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people,”(Al-Araf 7:116).

Those who indulge in witchcraft and casting spells onto others commit a major sin. Since the process to do so requires belittling the Almighty to please the jinns and the shiataans. According to the above verse, magic also bewitches the person making them see what is not real and believe that is untrue.

3. Consuming riba🏘

Riba means interest or usury. Dealing with it is a major sin and Allah has warned the believers against it.

Allah says, “O you who believe! Fear Allaah and give up what remains (due to you) from Ribaa (from now onward) if you are (really) believers.” (Al-Baqarah 2:278)In another verse from the same surah, Allah warns again, “Those who eat Ribaa will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaytaan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: “Trading is only like Riba,” whereas Allaah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba. So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba, shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allaah (to judge); but whoever returns (to Riba), such are the dwellers of the Fire — they will abide therein”

(al-Baqarah 2:275)

4. Snatching the property of an orphan🚫🏘

This is the beauty of justice Allah has maintained for everyone, including the orphans. An orphan is any child that has lost his father in his childhood and has yet not reached maturity. Consuming the wealth of an orphan has been classified as gunah kabeera (major sin), is unjust and unlawful.

Allah even mentioned it in the Quran, “Verily, those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, they eat up only a fire into their bellies, and they will be burnt in the blazing Fire!” (An-Nisa 4:10)

5. Accusing pious, believing and chaste women of adultery🚫

Allah SWT threatened those who accuse chaste women of adultery to beware as this will ruin their lives and destroy their families. This also affects the society and creates a split, spreading disorder. Hence, such heinous accusations degrading the honor of good believing women will not be tolerated.  Allah warns such people, in the Quan.

“And those who accuse chaste women of adultery and then do not produce four witnesses– lash them with eighty lashes and do not accept from them testimony even after. And those are defiantly disobedient. Except for those who repent thereafter and reform, for indeed Allah is forgiving and merciful.” (An-Nur 24, 2-5)

6. Taking someone’s life unjustly⚔

Murder is a sin in itself. Killing someone unjustly will result in hellfire as the permanent place. Islam strictly prohibits such an act as not only it creates violence, unrest, and disorder in a society; Islam encourages in preserving and protecting the blood of Muslim brethren and that of non-Muslims as well.

Quran says, “…. Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely…” (Quran, 5:32)

7. Fleeing from the battlefield🏞

Another major sin is freeing from the battlefield. Allah SWT and the last Prophet Muhammad SAW warned those who run away at the time of war. Allah says in the Quran, “O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for battle], do not turn to them your backs [in flight]. And whoever turns his back to them on such a day…has certainly returned with anger [upon him] from Allah, and his refuge is Hell – and wretched is the destination.” (Quran, 8:15-16)

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

May 🤲Allah guide us all and protect our nafs from even thinking about these sins, let alone committing them. May the Shaitaan never let us astray and may we continue to latch onto the teachings of our Prophet and the orders of Allah SWT. Ameen.

💐💐Jazak Allah  khair💐💐

Ultimate Peace.

Helping🤝 the poor and needy is self-purification.

Importance of Helping Others in Islam🤝

✏There are almost 7 billion people that reside within this world, yet the irony is that we often feel incredibly alone and distant from other human beings. We have been conditioned to believe that all we need is Allah and nothing else. Yet, Allah gave us families, He gave us friends and He gave us colleagues. There is a deeper wisdom within these relationships. Each one is teaching us something about ourselves and our place in the world and their purpose within our lives.                                              

Every one of us will at some point in our lives experience some type of hardship or pain that hurts us. It is therefore, important to explore the importance of helping others from an Islamic context. Helping each other is a way to overcome grief that we may experience, and it can empower us in our worship to Allah. One of the greatest human beings to walk the earth and who was also the best example of compassion and kindness in human form, was the Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wa sallam). He said:
“Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter. Whoever alleviates [the situation of] one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter. (Muslim)

📃📃📃📃📃📃📃📃📃📃📃📃It is one of the principles of our faith to help our fellow human beings. We have compiled a list of acts that you can do to help others. Some are obvious and others are often overlooked, but of great importance too.

🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️🔶️🔷️In the Quran, Allah (swt) says: “Help one another in acts of piety and righteousness. And do not assist each other in acts of sinfulness and transgression. And be aware of Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment” (Quran 5:2).

It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah [a.s] said:⬇️

One who goes along with a Muslim to help him and counsels him accordingly, Allah will write for him, for every step (he takes), a good deed and erases from him a misdeed regardless of whether he succeeds in helping him or not. If he does not counsel him sincerely, then he has betrayed Allah and His Messenger, and it is the Messenger of Allah [a.s] who will litigate against him.       
Caring – about people, about things, about life – is an act of maturity. –                                       🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌻🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
1. Be Kind to Others
2. Initiate the Salaam
3. Make Du’a for Others in Private
4. Ask Them What They are Struggling with and Find Ways to Assist Them

6. Pay for Someone’s Groceries
7. If you See Litter, Pick it Up
8. Feed an Animal
9. Visit the Sick
10. Seek Forgiveness
Allah Will Help Us .  

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇                
If we are helping others, Allah promises to help us in return. Imagine that, who would be a better helper to us than Allah? What else do we need after that? The promise of Allah had been told by our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the hadith below:              
1.Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother.   💞                   
2. Allah Will Reward Us His Jannah.💐     💰

3. Let’s Avoid Allah’s Punishment.  🔥                                 
The act of helping each other in a piety and righteousness is the thing that helps you to avoid Allah punishment.                            
4. Having a Good Brotherhood, Having The mercy of Allah
وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَيُطِيعُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ سَيَرْحَمُهُمُ اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ                         
5. Helping Other Muslim As We’re One.    🌎🤝                                   
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that all Muslim in this world is gathered into the whole one.                                       
6. It’s Better to Have a Little Time Wasted.   🍂🍂                              
Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the one who has little time to waste, otherwise it was spent doing works for Allah SWT. We need to follow what He had done so far as the act of doing good deeds.                                     
7. What’s Better Than Competing in the Good?      🛣

RIGHTS AND STATUS OF TEACHERS IN ISLAM

👩‍🏫Status of Teachers in Islam.👨‍🏫 

 A teacher is the person who not only shapes you but also grooms you, looks after you, teaches you everything you need to know and loves you like your own parents. Not only the society but also our religion, Islam, emphasizes on the importance of teachers.

👨‍🏫The Prophet’s Profession.👩‍🏫

↓ 11 – Responsibility Of Teachers By Prophet Mohammad.

According to the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), it is the responsibility of the teacher to ensure fairness in his dealings with the students. This means that the teacher should not discriminate or give preference to one student over another on the basis of materialistic parameters like their social status. 

↓ 10 – Impact of Teachers on Students.

According to Islamic teachings, teachers are really important in one’s life. From helping the children find the strength to teaching them to overpower the demons and conquering the fears, everything is taught by a teacher. Not only the Islamic scholars but our Prophet (PBUH) also clarified the significance of a teacher in one’s life.

↓ 9 – Teachers Change Lives.

The role of a teacher is really significant in Islam. The prophets, as well as Allah, teach us to be obedient and listen to our teachers in order to be successful in life. Teachers are those people who are not kings themselves but makes others kings. This means if the student is obedient and respects his or her teachers, Allah assists him in achieving his or her goals. This is the main reason why we should always respect our teachers and pay attention to what he or she says. Our teachers, our educators, and our masters make us what we dream about. They tell us the difference between the right and the wrong. So, it is our duty to respect them and do as they 

↓ 8 – Rights Of Teachers.

According to different quotes in Islam, a teacher is the person who shapes the personality, opens one’s mind and guides him or her towards the right path, in short, a teacher helps in molding the person’s personality as well as the character. Teachers play the most significant role in a student’s life. Starting from a really young age, a teacher grasps the student’s finger and takes him or her to the point where he or she is successful. Doctor, engineers, scientists, astronauts and politicians etc. all achieve their dreams due to the politeness, strictness, punishments, and love of their teachers. Not only this, but our educators also help in shaping our personality and making us a better person.

↓ 7 – Teacher Teaches Every Profession 

A teacher himself is only a teacher but has the capacity to teach us everything. Whether it is science, mathematics, arts or any other subject, the teacher is the one who puts us in one single direction. According to the Islamic scholar’s quotes, teaching is mainly the kind of profession which teaches every other profession. This means that every person becomes what he wants by the efforts of his or her teacher. No matter you are a doctor or an engineer, you’ll always need a teacher who takes your hand and guide you towards the right path. Do have a look at these .

↓ 6 – Respect Your Teachers. 

Islam teaches us to respect our teachers, listen to them and be dutiful. Why? Well, there are several reasons; they help you learn, they care and love you like parents, treat you like their own, be a little harsh just so can stay away from the wrongdoings and mold you into a better person. Allah gives teachers the second highest rank after our parents because they are the reason we learn and be what we want to be.

↓ 5 – History is a Teacher.

According to Imam Ali (AS), history is the best teacher. It teaches us where we went wrong so we can avoid it in the future. It is a clarified fact that if the mistakes of history are neglected, the history will repeat itself. This is the main reason why Islam teaches us to take lessons from history in order to protect our future. 

↓ 4 – Teacher Lights The Way For The Student.

There are several quotes on teachers in Islam. Islam tells us how our teachers consume themselves to pave the way for his or her students. A good teacher is the one who will put in an effort no matter what the situation is and light the way for her students in every situation and circumstance.

↓ 3 – Value of Teacher.

Teachers are greatly valued in Islam. Not only our Prophet (S.A.W) but his companions preached to value and obey our teachers as well. According to a hadith, everything in this world is cursed, except the one who helps in remembrance of Allah. Thus, a teacher is the person who helps us remember Allah, therefore he or she needs to be valued like we value our parents.

↓ 2 – Importance of Teacher Quote By Hazrat Ali.

The importance of teachers cannot be mentioned in a word, or a paragraph or even an essay. This is how important a teacher is. According to the Islamic teaching anyone who conveys a single good message become a teacher to the other person. This is why it is necessary to spread good and help people remember Allah. According to Hazrat Ali (RA) a teacher is so important that even if he or she conveys a single message the student owes him or her his lifetime

↓ 1 – Status of Teacher In Hadith.

Prophet (S.A.W) emphasized on the status of a teacher himself. He (S.A.W) not only himself guided people to respect their teachers, scholars and educators but respected and valued the teachers himself as well. According to him even if someone prayed a thousand rak’ats, the sleep of a scholar will still be superior. This is the main reason why Islam focuses and emphasizes on the respect of teachers so much. And it is our duty as a Muslim to respect, value and obey our teachers to earn.

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

Want to know what a teacher actually does? Read on to find out.

• A teacher is the person who grooms a child and makes his/her personality.
• The teacher acts as a mentor and builds a friendly class environment.
• A teacher helps the child to resolve problems when the child himself couldn’t.
• A teacher acts as a role model and is a good influence on .

Teaching is one of the most respectful and valuable professions in the world. In religion Islam, this profession has more importance as our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) introduced himself as a teacher. Allah Almighty says in Holy Quran:  “Like (a favor which you have already received) in that We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, rehearsing to you Our verses, and purifying you, and instructing you in scripture and wisdom, and in new knowledge” (Quran, 2:  151).  According to this verse of Holy Quran Holy Prophet (SAW) were sent to teach about the Holy Book Quran, the wisdom and unknown things to the people of this world.

💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

As we all know that the person who teaches is a teacher, a man of obedience and respect. Teachers are some of the most influential people in society and have great importance in modern society. Teachers bear the responsibility of molding students’ personalities and educating them. Teachers are considered the most honored person in every religion. Due to the important role of teachers, Islam has granted high status and rights to teachers. Islam has paid great attention to teachers for their being the first brick in the structure of social development and perfection and the cause of guiding and developing behaviors and mentalities of individuals and communities. We can understand the highest rank of teachers from the Quote of Hazrat Ali (RA) in which He (RA) stated that: “If a person teaches me one single word, he has made me his servant for a lifetime. “

💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢

The teacher is considered the profound father in religion Islam. All Prophets were the teacher that sent before Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and obviously, Holy Prophet (PBUH) was also the great teacher for all mankind. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) teaches us how to worship Allah, how to implement teachings of the Quran in our daily lives and many other things. Islam lays great emphasis on knowledge. At numerous times and instances, Allah Almighty ordered the Muslims to acquire knowledge and learn. Islam lays so much stress on seeking knowledge and also on giving the respect to the ones who imparted knowledge. That’s why teachers have the highest status in Islam.  In Holy Quran Almighty Allah says: “Allah elevates to high positions those from amongst you who are faithful and those who have acquired knowledge”.

(Quran, 58:11)

Rights of Teachers

A teacher teaches the person so he has some rights some of them are mentioned below:

Lead his pupil means it’s the duty of the teacher to make his student smarter and have a good Akhlaq.

Get reward and appreciation. The teacher is the spiritual father of the student as he is the one who provides spiritual nourishment and improves the behavior of learners. That’s why we should appreciate teachers for their great work.

Teachers should have freedom of expression, obstacles and intervention should be cleared.

Teachers should get respect from other people. We need to respect the teacher who is willing to give us the knowledge.

Teachers should get good treatment to make his job easier.

Teachers should have freedom in giving judgment.

Teachers should acquire and utilize learning facilities and infrastructure.

Teachers should get physical and spiritual needs.

In short, we should know respect and become closer to the teacher who is willing to give us education and knowledge.  Always respect your teacher.

After you, teaches you everything you need to know and loves you like your own parents. Not only the society but also our religion, Islam, emphasizes on the importance of teachers..

Prophet (ﷺ) said: "A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, he should not tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream which he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and from the evil of Satan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not tell it to anybody, for it will not harm him.

🌷🌷Other etiquette relating to sleeping:🌷🌷

• ⭕It is not permissible for a male child who has reached the age of puberty or ten years of age to sleep in the same bed as his sisters, mother, or any other female.  The same applies to female children who have reached puberty or ten years of age regarding sleeping with males.  This is to avoid any kind of temptation or evil and to safeguard honor.
• ⭕If a child is approaching the age of puberty then they must seek to enter permission their parents’ room at three times of the day: before morning prayer, when adults have their rest afternoon prayer, and after night prayer.  This is because it is at these times that the parents are more likely to be removing their clothes and are entitled to their privacy at these times and the child has begun to become aware of private parts and son.  Once the child reaches the age of ten or puberty, they must seek permission at all times of the day to enter the bedroom.
• ⭕It is not permissible for a person to sleep on their stomach (unless they must due to illness) since this is hated by Allah and it is how the people of Hell lie.
• ⭕It is disliked for a person to sleep naked since their private parts may become uncovered
• ⭕It is better to avoid sleeping after Asr (afternoon prayer),  since after Asr prayer there is great reward in making dua’a (supplications), and prayers are more likely to be answered at this time.  For this reason, it is better if a person is awake rather than sleeping so that they might get the benefit of this.
