Maintaining ties with relatives
مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِيهِ، وَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَى نَبِيِّهِمْ اِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ تِرَةً فَاِنْ شَاءَ عَذَّبَهُمْ وَاِنْ شَاءَ غَفَرَ لَهُم
Translation: No group of people sit in a gathering in which they do not remember Allah Almighty nor send salat upon their Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم except that it will be a loss for them (on the Day of Judgement). If Allah Almighty wills, He will punish them, and if Allah Almighty wills, He shall forgive them.[1]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ, meaning, a truthful intention is the best action.[2] O devotees of the Prophet, get into the habit of making good intentions before every action, because a good intention can be the cause of entering Paradise. Before listening to the bayan, make good intentions. For example,
* you will listen to the entire bayan to gain the knowledge of Islam.
* you will sit in a respectful manner.
* you will refrain from laziness during the bayan.
* you will listen to the bayan to reform yourself.
* whatever you hear and learn, you will attempt to pass onto others.
