How to Develop Gentleness

Seek goodness from the compassionate ones of my Ummah, and stay close to them. Do not seek goodness from the hard-hearted, for curses descend upon them.^{^[1]}

Sunnahs and Etiquettes of Walking

Dear Islamic brothers! Let us listen to the sunan and etiquettes of walking from the booklet 163 Madani Pearls by Amir Ahl al-Sunnah, Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Attar al-Qadiri دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ:

Allah Almighty states in Juzˈ 15, Surah Banī Isrāˈīl, verse 37:

وَ لَا تَمْشِ فِی الْاَرْضِ مَرَحًاۚ-اِنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرِقَ الْاَرْضَ وَ لَنْ تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُوْلًا(۳۷)

And do not walk upon the earth arrogantly, indeed you will never split open the earth, and you will never reach the height of mountains.^{^[2]}

1.The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: “A man was walking arrogantly, wrapped in two sheets, full of pride. The earth swallowed him, and he will keep sinking in it until the Day of Judgment.”

2.When the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم walked, he would lean forward slightly, as if descending from a slope.

3.If there is no obstacle, walk on the side of the pathway at a moderate pace, not so fast that people stare at you, wondering where you are rushing, and not so slow that people think you are ill.
