Sent by: Abdullah
The true and sincere love for our beloved Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم can be
expressed in no other way than complete compliance with the sunnah of our Holy
Prophet . Allah سبحانہ وتعالیٰ has placed the conformity and observance of the
Holy Prophet’s sunnah as a prerequisite of attaining His Love. The Holy Quran
states, Say, (O Muhammad to mankind): “If you (really) love Allah, then
follow me (i.e. accept Islam. Follow the Quran and the Sunnah, Allah will love
you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Aal
e Imran)
The life of the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is a complete and open
encyclopedia for us as it enlightens us with each and every etiquette and way of
performing all the acts and practices of our daily lives. It teaches us how to
live in this finite world and how to secure a high place in the gardens of
Jannah. A brief and concise description of some of the of chaste sunnah of the
Holy Prophet is given below which if implemented will help us in strengthening
our relationship with Allah and in acquiring success in the Hereafter.
Sunnah of Eating
Rasoolullah used to wash his hands and recite Bismillah prior to eating food. He
would eat with his right hand and from his front rather than the middle of the
dish. He would never point out if the food was unpleasing.
Ettiquettes of Drinking
He would drink, while sitting, without slurping and making undesirable sounds.
He used to drink in three breaths (for one drink) and disapproved of breathing
in the drinking vessel. He refrained from drinking water just after finishing
meals.
