خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَ اْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَ اَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ(۱۹۹)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: O Beloved Rasool, adopt forgiveness, and command to do good, and turn away from the ignorant ones.

(Part 9, Surah Al-A’raf, Ayah 199)

Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم has said: The Beloved Rasool          صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said to me, ‘Should I not guide you about the good manners of the people of the past and the future?’ I humbly replied, ‘Do guide me about it.’ The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Bestow upon the one who deprives you; forgive the one who oppresses you and establish relations with the one who breaks off relations with you.’ (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 6, pp. 222, Hadees 7956)

Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Mubarak رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: Meeting (people) cheerfully, benefitting them greatly and not causing trouble to anyone are among good manners. (Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 404, Hadees 2012)

ہو اَخلاق اچّھا ہو کِردار سُتھرا

مُجھے مُتَّقِی تُو بنا یا الٰہی

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! One of the blessings of good manners is that the person who is more well-mannered will progress more and will attain many benefits. This point can be understood in this way that great rush of customers is seen at some shops and many people carry out their shopping through these shops. One of the secrets of their successful business is that they treat their customers courteously and politely. They offer them tea, biscuits and cold drinks, etc. If a customer demands to show him one thing, the shopkeeper shows ten things.
