8 Madani pearls of a conversation

1.         The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘The one who remains silent attains salvation.’ (Jami’ Tirmizi, vol. 4, pp. 225, Hadees 2509)

2.         Make conversation smilingly and politely.

3.         With the intention of pleasing Muslims, talk respectfully with the elders and kindly with the youngsters. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, in addition to earning reward, you will hold a respectful status before them.

4.         With good intentions, make it your habit to talk politely even with a new born baby. Your manners will improve and the child will also learn good manners.

5.         During a conversation, one should not do anything disgusting such as touching the private parts, removing dirt from the body with the fingers, touching the nose or putting fingers into the ears, nose or repeatedly spitting etc. People are disgusted by such acts.

6.         Calmly continue listening as long as the other person is speaking. Interrupting someone’s conversation is not a Sunnah.

7.         Do not laugh while talking. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم never laughed.

8.         Excessive talking and frequent laughing affect one’s prestige.
