Islamic Mannerism

2. Balance
• Allah the Most High said
•
• …“And eat and drink and be not excessive
(therein)…“ )al-A’raaf

3. Eating & Drinking
• Umar bin Abu Salama (RA) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH), said to me,
"Mention Allah's Name (i.e., say Bismillah
before starting eating), eat with your right
hand, and eat from what is near you.''
[Al-Bukhari Book 07, Chapter 65, Hadith # 288]

4. Eulogizing & Wailing
• In a hadîth narrated from „Abdullâh ibn Mas„ûd
(RA), that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “He is not
one of us who strikes himself on the cheeks,
rends his garment and behaves like the people
of Jâhiliyyah” (al-Bukhârî and Muslim).

5. Friday
• Buying and Selling is prohibited from the time of
first adhan of friday prayer.
• One should halt trading and business upon the
hearing of first adhan of friday prayer as it is
haram to do so.

6. • O ye who believe! When the call is heard for
the prayer of the day of congregation, haste
unto remembrance of Allah and leave your
trading. That is better for you if ye did but
know. [Surah al-Jumua]

7. Fragrance
• Al-Bukhari narrated that Salman Al-Farsi said:
the Prophet S.A.W.S. said
• “Allah will forgive the sins of the past week for
he who on Friday will take a bath, cleanse
himself, put on his (regular) pefrume or any
perfume available in house. Then, he goes out
(to Jumu‟ah prayer) and does not try to separate
two friends. The he prays wherever he could
and listen to the Imam.”

8. Bathing
• As indicated by a Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari
and Muslim that Abu Huraira said, the Prophet
S.A.W.S. said:
“It is the duty of every Muslim to have a bath once
every week to wash his head and body.”

9. Rights of a Muslim
• Nasai narrates from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that
the Holy Prophet said, "There are rights of a
Muslim over a Muslim: Responding to salaam,
visiting the sick, following the bier (A platform
upon which the corpse rests), accepting an
invitation (to a meal) and blessing a person who
sneezes."

10. Repent & Keep Clean
• Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly
(for forgiveness) and He loves those who
keep themselves pure and clean. (Quran,
2:222)

11. Hide the sins
Prophet (SAW) has said:
• Whosoever covers (the sins of) a Muslim,
Allah covers (his sins) on the Day of
Judgment. (Reported by Bukhari)

12. Suspicions &
Backbiting
Allah Subhanahu wa T‟ala has said:
• O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions,
indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy
not, neither backbite one another. Would one
of you like to eat the flesh of his dead
brother? You would hate it (so hate
backbiting). And fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is
the One Who accepts repentance, Most
Merciful. (Quran, 49:12)

13. Backbiting vs Slander
Allah‟s Apostle (peace be upon him) said:
• Do you know what is backbiting? They (the Companions)
said: Allah and His Apostle (peace be upon him) know
best. Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Backbiting implies
your talking about your brother in a manner which he
does not like. It was said to him: What is your opinion
about this that if I actually find (that weakness) in my
brother which I made a mention of? He said: If (that
weakness) is actually found (in him) what you assert, you
in fact backbited him, and if that is not in him it is a
slander. (Reported by Muslim)

14. Respect of Parents
• A man came to Rasulullah [Sallallahu álayhi wa
sallam] and asked, “Who is most worthy of my
cordial conduct?” He answered, “Your mother!
Your mother! Your mother! Then your father,
then the closest to you and then the closest to
you.” [Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim]

15. Elder, Youth, Scholar
• Rasulullah [Sallallahu álayhi wa sallam] said,
“Whoever does not respect our elders is not of
us.” Another version reports that, “Whoever
does not respect our elders, is not
compassionate to our youth, and does not give
our scholars due honour is not of us.” [Ahmad,
Hákim and Tabaráni]
