“…And deal with people in a good manner…”




Quantcast


Allah tells us repeatedly in the Qur’ân to observe good manners in our dealings with others. He says: 

Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, and turn away from those who are ignorant.” [Sûrah al-A`râf : 199]

Allah says: 

“Nor can goodness and evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is better. Then he between whom and you there had been hatred will become as though he were your dear friend.” [Sûrah Fussilat : 34]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) is the perfect example of what it means to possess good manners. Allah says, describing him: 

“Indeed you are of a great moral character.” [Sûrah al-Qalam : 4]

The Prophet (peace be upon him) emphasized how good manners are of paramount importance in Islam when he said: 

“I was sent only to perfect good manners.” [Musnad Ahmad (8952)]

Indeed, he tells us that good manners are part of faith. He said: 

The believers with the most complete faith are those who have the best manners.” 
[Sunan al-Tirmidhî (1162) and Sunan Abî Dâwûd (4682)]

Among the good manners that we should cultivate is to be sensible in our dealings with others and not to react hastily when they do that which displeases us. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Ashajj `Abd Qays: 

“You possess within yourself two qualities that Allah loves: discernment and forbearance.” 
[Sahîh Muslim (17)]
