Data Ganj Bakhsh and Lessons In Etiquette
here is a statement of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: 'Let each of you eat with his right hand, drink with his right hand, take with his right hand, and give with his right hand, for Satan eats with his left hand, drinks with his left hand, gives with his left hand, and takes with his left hand.'[1]
1. The right side carries a good omen, as it is the side of the people of Paradise.[2]
2. Eating and drinking with the right hand is a Sunnah.[3]
3. The angel who records good deeds resides on the right side; hence, this side is superior.[4]
Mawlānā Muḥammad Sardār Aḥmad Qādirī Chishtī رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ states: 'Use your right hand for taking and giving. This habit should become so firm that, on the Day of Judgement, when the scroll of deeds is presented, your right hand naturally extends forward in accordance with this habit, then you will be successful.'[5]
The remaining Sunan and points of etiquette related to giving and taking with the right hand will be explained in training circles. Therefore, to learn them, be sure to participate in the training circles.
