Manners-Ill Gathering Sneezing Yawning

Manners, Shariath

“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

THE ETIQUETTE OF SNEEZING AND YAWNING

Indeed Allah loves sneezes but hates yawns.

When one sneezes, one should say: ALHAMDULILLAH (All praise be to Allah) In reply to this, the one who hears should say: YARHAMU-KALLAH (May God have mercy on you)The person who had sneezed must reply by saying: YAHDEE KUMULLAHU WA YUSLIH BAALAKUM  (May Allah guide you and grant you well-being).

 cover the face with hands or with a piece of cloth (handkerchief) so that the sound of the sneeze would be stifled.

A Muslim should not seek to refrain or prevent a sneeze; it is a healthy function.

It is right to invoke a blessing on one who sneezes at the most three times.  If he sneezes more often, this probably means he has a cold. 

If a Muslim sneezes and forgets to praise God, then it is the duty of Muslims near him to remind him kindly of his duty to thank God.

When yawning hold the hand over the mouth.

Try not to make any sound when yawning, as the full opening of the mouth allows Shaytaan to enter it.

one should not make any sound during yawning, as this pleases Shaytaan.

THE ETIQUETTE OF VISITING THE ILL

If a pious person falls ill, then his status is elevated and if a sinner falls ill then his sins are forgiven.

iyaadat is sunnah and shows human kindness ( it is a means of earning Sawaab and also you will gain garden in paradise) angels will pray visiting person.

if a person makes fresh Wudhu and intends to visit an ill person only for Sawaab, then he is kept away from Hell as far as the distance of a 70 year journey.

It is also Sunnah to allow the sick person to eat whatever he desires( those which will not harm his condition).

When visiting a sick person, one should not be rowdy, unpleasant or unkind.

Do not visit the sick person for a long period. You should make Du’a and then take leave.

 When visiting the sick also ask the sick person to make Du’a for you since their Du’as are readily accepted.

One should show love and sympathy while visiting ill by keep your hand over the patients head and make dua saying o allah heal so and so or say7 times: Asalullaah al-‘Adheem, Rubb al-‘Arsh il-‘Adheem an yashfiyak( inshaalaah allah will cure the patient)

THE ETIQUETTE OF GATHERING

on Friday take bath, use itr, wear nice clothes, attend Friday prayer without crossing over people’s necks , keeps quiet when the Imam mounts the pulpit until he concludes prayer.

One should not belch in public.

Ask the people to keep quiet when you start your speech.

words must be clear so that anyone who heard him could understand .speak except that which is correct and true.

Donot lie during speech even to make people laugh.

Do not underestimate any good deed, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face.

It is not permissible for a Muslim to scare another Muslim.

A gathering is held in trust. one should not go and relate the issue that has been discussed at the meeting. This is a great sin and a breach of trust.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
