S e c t i o n


Allah loves good manners and hates bad


manners. And the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم came to complete


the most honourable manners.


So it is upon me to have good


manners like, truthfulness, loyalty,


trustworthiness, courage, generosity,


good speech, respect towards my


teachers and my elders.


M y M a n n e r s


And I must avoid bad manners such as, lying,


betrayal, weakness, stinginess, bad speech and


lack of respect.


The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:


The dearest and closest of you to me on the Day of Judgement will be


those who are best in manners and behaviour in this life.


CONCLUSION


Knowledge is light and ignorance is darkness.


I strive in seeking knowledge and exhort my efforts to attain it so my Lordwill be pleased with me and enter me into Paradise.


Remembering Allah is a protection for the muslim


I always do my morning and evening remembrance of Allah such as recitingAyatul-Kursi, Suratul-Ihklas, Al-Falaq and An-Naas.


Supplication (Du’aa) is the key to success and happiness


I call upon Allah all the time, in prostration (sujood), after the adhan andduring the night.


Some of the supplications are:


O Allah guide me and direct me to what is right.


O Allah increase me in knowledge.


O Allah forgive me and my parents and have mercy upon them.


O Allah give me goodness in this life and in the hereafter and save me from the


punishment of the fire.


This is the end and All praise is for Allah alone.
