اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, books of Ahadees are full of the virtues of good manners. For persuasion, let’s listen to four blessed Ahadees and rejoice:

1.         You cannot please people by your wealth, but your cheerfulness and good manners can please them. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 6, pp. 253, Hadees 8054)

On the Day of Judgement there will be no other deed that weighs heavier on the scale of deeds of a believer than good manners. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 403, Hadees 2009)

The perfect believers in Iman (faith) are those who have good manners. (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 4, pp. 290, Hadees 4682)
