Behaviour At Home
Respect your parents:
Allaah ( )says in the Qur'aan, And your Lord
has decreed that you not worship except Him,
and BE THE BEST (iHsaan) to parents. Whether
one or both of them reach old age [while] with
you, say not to them [so much as], uff, and do
not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

COMMUNICAT
ION

What Does Communication Mean?

Basically, it means
HOW YOU TALK

Today, we will see three things:

What to say
What not to say
How to speak

What To Say
A Muslim should use good language and say
only that which is good:
Allaah ( )says in the Qur'aan, And tell My
servants to say that which is best. Indeed,
Shaytaan sows disagreements among
them. [al-Israa', 53]

The Prophet ()
said,

Whoever believes in Allaah and the Last

Day, he should speak good or remain silent.
[al-Bukhari (6018, 6019) & Muslim (47)]

What Not To Say

Leaving useless talk, evil talk & vulgar
language:
`Abdullaah Ibn `Amr said, The Prophet
( )was neither a FaaHish nor MutafaHHish
(i.e. he did not curse or speak lewdly). [alBukhari (6035) & Muslim (2321)]
Do not abuse & insult anothers
parents:

The Prophet ( )said,

Abusing

one's parents is one of

the major sins. They asked, O Messenger
of Allaah, does a man abuse his parents

too? He replied,

Yes, one

 No backbiting (gheebah)
Allaah ( )says in the Qur'aan, And do not
backbite one another. Would one of you like to
eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would
hate it (so hate backbiting). [al-Hujuraat, 12]
-What is backbiting? The Prophet ( )defined

it as,

Saying
something about your brother that he dislikes.
It was said, What if what I say
about my

brother is true? He said,

If
what you say is true then you have backbitten
about him, and if it is not true then you have
slandered him. [Muslim (2589)]

How To Speak
`Aa'ishah said, The Prophet ( )used to talk
so clearly that if somebody wanted to count
the number of his words, he could do so
The Messenger of Allaah ( )never talked
quickly and vaguely [al-Bukhari (3567) &
Muslim (2493)]
From the above Hadeeth, we learn that one
should:
Speak clearly
Be clear in our ideas
Speak neither too fast, nor too slow

 Turn completely & face the one you are

speaking to:
Abu Hurayrah said, When he ( )faced
someone, he ( )faced him completely. When he
( )turned away, he ( )turned away
completely. [al-Adab al-Mufrad (255)]
Be cheerful & friendly:
When the companions used to meet the Prophet
(), they used to think that he loved them the
most; it is because of the way he used to treat
every individual. He used to treat everybody with
sensitivity and avoid something what the person
would not like. Every companion thought that
they were the most beloved.
