Few Sunnahs and manners of sitting

 ٭Sit facing the Qiblah. (Rasaail ‘Attariyyah, part, 2, pp. 229)

 ٭Sitting on the seats of pious people is against the etiquette. A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه has stated: One should not sit on the seat of his teacher and spiritual guide even in their absence. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 24, pp. 369, 424)

 ٭Try not to let your back face towards pious saints while sitting or standing, and the legs must not be straightened out towards them at all.

٭Whenever you come to any congregation or Majlis, do not come crossing over other people, sit where you get room.

٭ When sitting, take off your shoes, your feet will get comfort.

(Al-Jami-us-Sagheer, pp. 40, Hadees 554)

 ٭When you get free from a Majlis, recite [the following] Du’a three times, sins will be forgiven and the Islamic brother who recites this Du’a in the Majlis of goodness and the Majlis of Zikr, goodness will be stamped for him. Du’a is as follows:

سُبْحَانَكَ  اللّٰھُمَّ  وَ بِحَمْدِكَ  لَا  اِلٰہَ  اِلَّا  اَنْتَ  اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ  وَ اَتُوْبُ  اِلَیْكَ

Translation: You are Pure and O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! All praise is for You. There is no Almighty except You. I seek forgiveness from You and I repent to You.

(Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 347, Hadees 4857)
