THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 19th day of Zul Hijjah (Sunday 9th August 2020).
MANNERS OF ASSEMBLY AND GATHERING. BismilLaah.
Because Islam is a complete way of life, it has guidance for all aspects of life for those who chooses to follow the Qur'an and sunnah. If we don't learn from the Salaf books (predecessors after the Messenger of ALLAH, the companions and their students till date), we will end up following what our forefathers said which are mostly the sources of religious innovations as ALLAH and HIS Messenger warned us against in the Quran not to follow our forefathers footsteps unless those who were strict on following the sunnah. Among the complete ways of life are the etiquette or manners when we gather anywhere which
Imam An-Nawawi records in his book Riyad us-Saliheen:
Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Do not ask someone to give up his seat to another, but rather make it easy and provide accommodation.
Sahih Muslim 2177.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessings be upon him, said, If a man stands from his seat and later returns it, then he is more entitled to it. Sahih Muslim 2179.
This sunnah teaches us NOT to request someone to give up his or her space to someone who attend a gathering late unless if the person voluntarily decide that.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
