Remaining etiquettes of reciting Na’t

   *It is inappropriate to give the following example to those who protest against the ear piercing sound coming from the speaker, ‘Even in weddings, people play film songs loudly, why doesn’t anyone stop them! We praise the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and people become annoyed.’ مَعَاذَ اللّٰہ this is open slander.

   *No matter how sinful a Muslim may be, he could never feel annoyed by the praise of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

   *The complaint is only regarding the sound of the speaker system.

   *The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, who we are praising by using a sound system only out of ‘enjoyment’, will also not be pleased if this causes harm to the neighbours.

   *It is not sufficient to take permission from only a few of the neighbours.

   *Who will seek permission from infants, their mothers, those suffering from headaches, those afflicted with fever and the patients who are tossing and turning restlessly on their beds?

   *This is a reality that people are distressed by film songs too, but they remain lying patiently due to fear.

   *Nevertheless, we should all remember that the matter of ‘people’s rights’ is more severe than the ‘rights of Allah’.
