1.         Hence, if the outside or the appearance is good, then the inside will also be good. A healthy man should bath daily, wear neat and clean clothes, live in a clean house, then he will remain healthy. Similarly, food also affects the heart. In short, it must has to be acknowledged that food and dress affect the heart. That’s why, if clothing is worn like unbelievers or one’s appearance is like them, then surely love for the unbelievers and hatred for Muslims may develop in the heart and in the end this disease may prove to be fatal. That’s why it is stated: ‘مَنۡ تَشَبَّهَ بِقَوۡمٍ فَهُوَ مِنۡهُمۡ’ that is ‘Whoever imitates a community, is from amongst them.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 6, pp. 151, Hadees 8327) The central idea is this: Form your appearance like that of Muslims so that your conduct can become like the Muslims. (Islami Zindagi, pp. 84)

Dear Islamic brothers! Surely, obeying the Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, making our inside and outside according to Islamic values is beneficial. By carefully studying the sayings, acts, circumstances of the Beloved Prophet     صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم we should live our lives by obeying the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and acting upon the Sunnah of the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم would try to act upon every Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, even those things that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not command them to do, these were followed by the blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم.

Would smile while talking

Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Darda رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا has said that whenever Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ spoke, he would smile. I humbly said, ‘Leave this habit, otherwise people will start thinking of you as a fool.’ Sayyiduna Abu Darda   رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ then said, ‘Whenever I saw or heard the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم speaking, the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would smile.’ (Hence acting upon that Sunnah, I also do it.)

(Musnad Imam Ahmad, vol. 8, pp. 171, Hadees 21791)

پتلی پتلی گُلِ قُدس کی پتیاں                                      اُن لبوں کی نزاکت پہ لاکھوں سلام

جس کی تسکیں سے روتے ہوئے ہنس پڑیں                 اس تبسُّم کی عادت پہ لاکھوں سلام
