Maḥjūb. May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to love the Awliyāʾ and to act upon their teachings.
اٰمِیْن بِجَاہِ النَّبِیِّ الْاَمِیْن صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلہٖ وَسَلَّم
Dātā Ganj Bakhsh ꜤAlī Hujwayrī رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ states: The beauty of all religious and worldly matters lies in etiquette. For every person, there are distinct etiquettes according to their status. Honour, the Sunnah, and dignity are preserved only through etiquette.[1] Allah Almighty states in the Holy Quran:
یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا قُوْۤا اَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ اَهْلِیْكُمْ نَارًا وَّ قُوْدُهَا النَّاسُ وَ الْحِجَارَةُ
O you who believe! Save yourselves and your families from the Fire whose fuel is humans and stones;[2]
The Companion of the Prophet and the authority of the exegetes, Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullāh ibn ꜤAbbās رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, states in the commentary of this verse: O believers! It is incumbent upon you to save yourselves and your families from the fire of Hell! And how can this be done? How can you protect yourselves and your families from this fire? The way to do this is to gain an understanding of the Deen yourself and teach it to your family. Learn proper etiquette yourself, and teach it to your family as well. [3]
It is narrated by the mother of the believers, Sayyidatunā Aishah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ, that the Final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: 'A child has a right over their father that he gives them a good name and teaches them good manners'.[4]
