Chosen Islamic Manners

*One should perform the night prayer.
*One should not rest, sleep or talk for excessive periods of time. They should try their best to seek knowledge.

*A student of knowledge should be keen to:

a. Help take care of the needs of people. The Prophet () said:

'Intercede on behalf of others (to make their affairs easy) and you will be rewarded.' (Bukhari)
b. Fulfill their promises. Allah, the Exalted, praises his Prophets and Messengers, and says:

Indeed he was true to his promise. (19 : 54)

c. Be kind and compassionate. Allah, the Exalted, says:

Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant. (7:199)

Imam As-Sam'aani, may Allah have mercy on him, in his book 'Al-Ansab' and Imam Adth-Dhahabi, may Allah have mercy on him, in his book 'Tajreed as-Sahabah' mentioned in the biography of Auf b. Nu'man that he said: 'A man during the pre-Islamic era would contemplate on dying out of thirst and not be one who breaks his promises.'
d. Be humble. The Prophet () said:

'Indeed Allah has revealed to me that you should humble yourselves. No one should boast about himself to the other. No one should transgress against the other.' (Muslim)
