Good manners lead to prosperity, while bad ones lead to misery. In a Hadith, the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“Through good manners, one reaches the status of the person who not only fasts, but who also stands late in the night to pray.”
He (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him) also said:
“Shall I not inform you of the most beloved to me and the one seated closest to me on the Day of Resurrection:
“Those of you who are best in manners.”
“And verily, you [O’ Muhammad] are on an exalted standard of character.”
(Quran 68:4)
“And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you…”
(Quran 3:159)
“…and speak good to people…”
(Quran 2:83)
‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) described the Prophet (Blessings and Peace of Allah be upon him) with the following words:
“His character was the Qur’an.”
