Manners
Manners are exercising one's self through education and training to behave properly, i.e. practical behavior.
If someone swears deliberately to do something then he violates his oath, he must expiate, unless the oath was
to do an evil act or to ignore a good one. There is also an exception for the one who said "In Sha’a Allah" (if Allah wills), depending on his intention.
The expiation of the oath is to feed or clothe ten indigent people,
manumit a slave, or fast three days, according to this order.
A vow is permissible for Allah Only. The one who vows must fulfill the vow
whether in absolute or conditional terms, unless he vowed concerning a sinful act or vowed about something he does not
own.
Proper manners towards the Glorious Qur’an:
Know the value of the Qur’an as being the Word and Law of Allah sent for the good of His bondmen in this worldly life and
their success in the Hereafter.
Learn the rules of correct recitation (Tajwid) that is, to utter every letter
correctly without exaggeration or artificiality. This recitation should be
taught by well-trained readers.
When he is mentioned, exalt his name and pray for benediction on him, that is done
by saying: “Salla Allahu `Alayhi Wa Sallam”
(i.e. Prayers and peace be upon him)
Proper manners towards Allah:
Allah says:
﴿ � ال و� ل�ي وا ك�ر� و�اش� ك�م� ذ�ك�ر�� أ ون�ي اذ�ك�ر� ف�
ون� ر� ﴾ت�ك�ف� : [ 152البقرة]
This means:
“Therefore remember Me (by praying, glorifying), I will remember you, and be grateful to Me (for My countless Favors on you) and never be ungrateful to Me.”
(Al-Baqarah: 152)
Allah also says:
ا ﴿ ذ�ك�ر� الله� وا اذ�ك�ر� ن�وا آم� ال!ذ�ين� ا ي#ه�� أ ي�ا
* � ك�ث�يرا � يال أ�ص� و� ة� ب�ك�ر� وه� ب,ح� ﴾و�س�
: 41األحزاب] 42،]
This means:
“O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance. And glorify His
Praises morning and afternoon.”
(Al-Ahzab: 41 - 42)
And says:
ع�وا ﴿ م� و�اس� ت�ط�ع�ت�م� اس� ا م� الله� وا ات!ق� ف�و�م�ن ك�م� س� أل�نف� ي�را� خ� وا ق� �ن�ف� أ و� أ�ط�يع�وا و�
م� ه� ل�ئ�ك� و�أ� ف� ه� س� ن�ف� ح! ش� ي�وق�
ون� ل�ح� ف� : ﴾ال�م� [16التغابن]
This means: “So keep your duty to Allah and fear Him as
much as you can; listen and obey; and spend in charity, that is better for
yourselves. And whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, then they are the
successful ones.” (At-Taghabun: 16)
And:
ي�ظ�ن#ون�... ﴿ م� ه� س� أ�نف� م� ت�ه� م! ه�أ� د� ق� Aة و�ط�ائ�ف�
ب�الله� ل�ي!ة� اه� ال�ج� ظ�ن! ال�ح�ق, ﴾غ�ي�ر�
: عمران] [154آل
This means:
“While another party was thinking about themselves (as how to save their own
selves, ignoring the others and the Prophet SAW) and thought wrongly of Allah - the
thought of ignorance.”
(Al-`Imran: 154)
Allah says:
ع�ل�ى ﴿ وا ف� ر� س�أ� ال!ذ�ين� ب�اد�ي� ي�اع� ل� ق�
ن�ط�وا ت�ق� ال� م� ه� س� أ�نف�الذ#ن�وب� ر� ي�غ�ف� الله� إ�ن! الله� ة� م� ح� ر! م�ن
يع�ا م� ج�يم� ح� الر! ور� ال�غ�ف� ه�و �ن!ه� ﴾إ
: [53الزمر]
This means: “Say: "O My slaves who have transgressed
against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy
of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful.''” (Az-Zumar: 53)
Allah says:
ا ﴿ ك�ت�ب�ه�أ� ف�س� Sء ي� ش� ك�ل! ع�ت� و�س� ت�ي م� ح� و�ر�
ال!ذ�ين� و� ك�اة� الز! ت�ون� ي�ؤ� و� ون� ي�ت!ق� ل�ل!ذ�ين�ن�ون� ي�ؤ�م� ب�آي�ات�ن�ا ﴾ه�م
: [156األعراف]
This means: “And My Mercy embraces all things. That
(Mercy) I shall ordain for those who are the Muttaqun (pious) and give Zakah; and
those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs and
revelations, etc.).” (Al-A`raf: 156)
Swearing by Allah:
Allah says:
ل�ك�ن ﴿ و� ان�ك�م� ي�م�� أ ف�ي ب�الل!غ�و� الله� ذ�ك�م� ي�ؤ�اخ� ال�
إ�ط�ع�ام� ت�ه� ار� ك�ف! ف� األ�ي�م�ان� دت#م� ع�ق! ا ب�م� ذ�ك�م ي�ؤ�اخ�ل�يك�م� ه�
أ� ت�ط�ع�م�ون� ا م� ط� و�س�أ� م�ن� اك�ين� م�س� ة� ر� ع�ش�
ي�ام� ف�ص� د� ي�ج� ل!م� م�ن ف� Sب�ة ق� ر� ر�ير� ت�ح� و�أ� م� ت�ه� و� ك�س� و�
أ�ت�م� ل�ف� ح� �ذ�ا إ ان�ك�م� ي�م�
� أ ة� ار� ك�ف! ذ�ل�ك� Sي!ام� أ ث�الث�ة�
ان�ك�م� ي�م�� أ ظ�وا ف� و�اح�
ون� ك�ر� ت�ش� ل�ع�ل!ك�م� آي�ات�ه� ل�ك�م� الله� ي�ب�ي,ن� ﴾ك�ذ�ل�ك� : [89المائدة]
This means: “Allah will not punish you for what is
unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths; for its expiation (a deliberate oath) feed ten
Masakin (poor persons), on a scale of the average of that with which you feed your own families; or clothe them; or manumit
a slave. But whosoever cannot afford (that), then he should fast for three days.
That is the expiation for the oaths when you have sworn. And protect your oaths (i.e. do not swear much). Thus Allah make clear to you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) that you
may be grateful.” (Al-Ma’idah: 89)
Allah says:وا ﴿ ت�ب�ر# ن
أ� ان�ك�م� أل�ي�م� ة� ض� ع�ر� الله� ع�ل�وا ت�ج� و�ال� Aيع م� س� و�الله� الن!اس� ب�ي�ن� وا ل�ح� ت�ص� و� وا وت�ت!ق�
* Aع�ل�يمب�الل!غ�و� الله� ذ�ك�م� ي�ؤ�اخ� ل�ك�ن ال� و� ان�ك�م� ي�م�
� أ ف�يل�وب�ك�م� ق� ب�ت� ك�س� ا ب�م� ذ�ك�م ي�ؤ�اخ�
Aل�يم ح� Aور غ�ف� ﴾و�الله� : [225-224البقرة]
This means: “And make not Allah's (Name) an excuse in your oaths against your doing good and acting piously, and making peace among mankind. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-
Knower (i.e. do not swear much and if you have sworn against doing something good then give an expiation for the oath and do
good).
Allah will not call you to account for that which is unintentional in your oaths, but He will call you to account for that which your hearts have earned. And Allah is Oft-
Forgiving, Most-Forbearing.” (Al-Baqarah: 224 - 225)
The Messenger of Allah (SAWS) said:
“Whoever finds it necessary to take an oath should either take it in the Name of Allah
or keep silent.”

ه� ﴿ ر# ش� ك�ان� ا ي�و�م� اف�ون� ي�خ� و� ب�الن!ذ�ر� ي�وف�ون� � ت�ط�يرا : ﴾م�س� [7اإلنسان]

د� و�ق� ا ت�و�ك�يد�ه� ب�ع�د� ان� ي�م�األ� وا ض� ت�نق�
� يال ك�ف� ع�ل�ي�ك�م� الله� ع�ل�ت�م� ج�ع�ل�ون� ت�ف� ا م� ي�ع�ل�م� الله� ﴾إ�ن!
: [91النحل]

after you have confirmed them, and indeed you have appointed Allah your surety.
Verily! Allah knows what you do.”

but it makes a miser spend his property.”
(Reported by al-Bukhariyy and Muslim)
