1. Fulfil those promises which Allah has ordered you to fulfil whether it
may be to Allah or to fellow human, e.g. if a person promises his friend
something, then it will be necessary for him to fulfil this promise as long
as it is not regarding any sin. (Ma’ariful Qur’aan part5 pg.383; Deoband)
2. Due to haughtiness and pride, do not turn your face away. When meeting or
speaking with people, do not turn your face away in speech thinking the next
person to be lower than you. This is a clear sign of pride which is
forbidden in Islam. (Ibid part7 pg.39)
3. Do not give so that you may earn more. Do not give a person a gift or do
him a favour with this intention that tomorrow I will receive something
better from the gifted person. This is Makrooh and disliked in Islam. (Ibid
part8 pg.612)
4. This is with regards to etiquettes of eating. All good in desirable
actions should be done with the right hand.
5. If one is blessed with wealth of the world, then he should use it in the
correct manner. He should show it whether it be in good clothes, good house,
good car, as long as it is within the boundaries of Shari’ah.
6. By saying this word which means, ‘O my leader’ to a Munaafiq, it shows
that the person has respect for a disbeliever which will in turn draw the
wrath of Allah. respect here means to hold the person in high esteem.
7. Could you please quote reference for this statement.
8. For a person to be in the state of Wudhu, he has to be a believer. If a
non-beliver makes Wudhu, it will not be called Wudhu. Like how if a
non-beliver perform Salaat, it will not be called Salaat because of the mere
fact that he is a non-believer.
9. The decree of a qualified scholar with regards to Deeni or Islamic
matters.
10. The tongue although it may be small, can cause more damage than any
other part of the body. For this reason, we are ordered to control our
tongues. As much as possible, try to stay at home, this is more for women,
they should not leave the confines of her house except if reallyness.
Weeping over one;s sin is very important because ‘Every Muslim is a sinner,
and the best of sinners are those who repent.’
