inner self is refined, and the light of faith descends into the heart, spreading illumination. We should understand the importance of these etiquettes, show utmost respect to the pure Court of the Lord of the universe, observe the etiquettes of our own being, respect fellow Muslims and friends, and also uphold the etiquettes of eating, drinking, walking, and so forth.

Encouragement for Pious Deed Number 43

Dear Islamic brothers! Our beloved religion teaches us all kinds of etiquettes, both outward and inward. Therefore, we should also observe these etiquettes. For your religious and moral training, associate yourselves with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami and actively participate in the 12 religious activities of the zeli halqa. The leader of Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ has granted us 72 Pious deeds. Among these, he has given a pious deed that encourages us to observe certain etiquettes of life. Thus, Pious Deed Number 43 asks: 'Do you observe cleanliness, and are you mannerly?' (Cleanliness here means keeping your body, clothes, house, place of work and things used there neat and clean. Mannerly means being punctual, not slamming doors unnecessarily at home or when sitting in your own or someone else’s car, putting something back in its place in your home, educational institute, office or someone’s house which you had permission to pick up, etc.)
