(We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam.") 15 (Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (They shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise! of truth, which was made to them (in this life)) 16

(And the servants of ((Allah)) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace!") 63 (Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrate and standing) 64 (Those who say, "Our Lord! avert from us the Wrath of Hell, for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous) 65 ("Evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in") 66 (Those who, when they spend, are not extravagant and not niggardly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes)) 67 (Those who invoke not, with Allah, any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred except for just cause, nor commit fornication; - and any that does this (not only) meets punishment.) 68 ((But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy) 69 (Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful) 70 (And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with an (acceptable) conversion) 71 (Those who witness no falsehood, and, if they pass by futility, they pass by it with honorable (avoidance)) 72 (Those who, when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind) 73 (And those who pray, "Our Lord!

The Prophet’s (PBUH) Manners

One of the great stories that show the great manners of the Prophet (PBUH) is that of his Jew neighbor.

This neighbor kept annoying, insulting, and hurting the Prophet (PBUH) everyday as he hated him, one of those days that neighbor didn’t come to the Prophet (PBUH) and hurt him, so the Prophet (PBUH) was worried about his neighbor and went to visit him in his home and make sure that he is ok.

The Jew neighbor was shocked oh the visit, so the Prophet (PBUH) told him that neighbors have rights for each other.

The Jew neighbor was really shocked of the Prophet’s (PBUH) manners and became a Muslim instantly holding the Prophet’s (PBUH) hands.

His great manners should lead all of us to become peaceful and feel the greatness of Allah the Almighty as well as being forgiving and always deal with all people regardless of their religion seeking Allah’s satisfaction in everything we do.

What is Hadith Qudsi?

Hadith Qudsi are the sayings of the Prophet Mohamed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) as revealed to him by the Almighty Allah. Hadith Qudsi (or Sacred Hadith) are so named because, unlike the majority of Hadith which are Prophetic Hadith, their authority (Sanad) is traced back not to the Prophet but to the Almighty.

Among the many definitions given by the early scholars to Sacred Hadith is that of as-Sayyid ash-Sharif al-Jurjani (died in 816 A.H.) in his lexicon At-Tarifat where he says: "A Sacred Hadith is, as to the meaning, from Allah the Almighty; as to the wording, it is from the messenger of Allah (PBUH). It is that which Allah the Almighty has communicated to His Prophet through revelation or in dream, and he, peace be upon him, has communicated it in his own words. Thus Qur'an is superior to it because, besides being revealed, it is His wording."
