Sunan and Etiquettes of Giving and Taking with the Right Hand

Dear Islamic brothers! Here are some pearls of wisdom regarding giving and taking with the right hand:

The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: “Each one of you should eat with his right hand, drink with his right hand, take with his right hand, and give with his right hand, because Satan eats with his left hand, drinks with his left hand, gives with his left hand, and takes with his left hand.”^[1]

1. There is a good omen in the right side, for 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 is on the right side, and this is why this direction is superior.^[4]

4. Mawlānā Muḥammad Sardār Aḥmad al-Qādirī al-Chishtī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: “Use the right hand when giving and taking. Let this habit become so firm that on the Day of Judgement, when the record of deeds is presented, you receive it with your right hand; this is true success.”^[5]
