Take the quizWhy
The source connects faith and good character. It quotes the hadith stating that the most perfect believers in faith are those who are best in attitude.
Why
‘Aishah described the Prophet’s character as mirroring the Quran. This means he acted according to it, followed its etiquette, observed its limits, and loved what it praised while avoiding what it condemned.
Why
Permissible joking must not involve lying. The source warns against saying false things merely to make people laugh.
Why
Joking must not involve mocking Islam, Allah’s signs, or the Messenger. The source treats this as extremely serious and says that religious matters must be respected.
Why
The source distinguishes light, appropriate joking from excessive joking. Excessive and persistent joking can harden the heart, distract from remembrance of Allah, hurt feelings, generate hatred, and reduce dignity.
Why
Kindness, generosity, and upholding family ties are emphasized. If a sister regrets giving up her share, it is better to return it and relieve her distress, especially if she is in difficulty.
Why
Exchanging gifts with non-Muslim family members may be allowed and can soften hearts, but the gifts should not be connected to their festivals, especially religious festivals.
Why
A mother’s disbelief does not justify disobedience or bad treatment from her child. A Muslim should continue treating a non-Muslim mother kindly, pray for her guidance, and remain firm upon Islam.
