Book Name:Akhlaq-e-Mustafa Ki Jhalkiyan

1.         On the Day of Judgement, those amongst you who would be dear and near to me in my company are the ones who have good manners and adopt humbleness. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 409, Hadees 2025)

 

A renowned commentator, a great thinker of Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه: It has been experienced many times that people become friend of the well-mannered person. The people including family members and even the acquaintances dislike the ill-mannered person. The people including family members and even the acquaintances show respect to the well-mannered person and like to serve him too. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 5, pp. 167)

Therefore, if we want people to show affection towards us, listen to us with full attention and no one show aversion to us then we should treat every Muslim gracefully. Unfortunately, a great number of people fall prey to this evil. However people treat wealthy and educated people well but when there are the poor and uneducated and less literate individuals then people treat them very badly and even show rudeness and bad manners. In particular, they are not usually considerate towards their family members. Some people behave gracefully towards the acquaintances but as soon as they enter home, their behaviour is changed and they become aggressive and violent, keeping aside humbleness, meekness and courtesy. Despite the fact is that such rudeness is against the teachings of Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم because the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to behave the elders, younger ones, rich and poor and even slaves gracefully.

Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated that the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to accept the invitation of his bondsmen even for the food consisting of barley bread and simple food. When the poor fall ill, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to visit them, give the poor and destitute his blessed company and sit amidst his blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم. (Seerat-e-Mustafa, pp. 607)

Sayyidah ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has stated: The Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم sometimes used to give a ride his attendant behind him.

Dear Islamic brothers! As the acquaintances used to have privilege to obtain the blessings of the best morals and manners of the Beloved and Blessed
