Imams called on Muslims to apply good manners and morals in their daily life such as being gentle and kind to neighbours, fulfilling promises and smiling.
In the Friday sermon, imams said manners and morals are very important in building and developing religious life, community and national harmony.
Imams said Islam emphasises on manners and morals and prioritises them even before acquiring knowledge.
“It is pointless if one acquires high knowledge but lacks in manners and morals,” imams said.
“Decent values must be inculcated in an individual. Conditioning and improving one’s manners and morals are highly recommended in Islam if a person wants to be respected, and enjoy life.”
Imams added, “Manners cover various aspects including manners towards Allah the Almighty, towards Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), towards parents, teachers, neighbours, friends and community as well as towards all creations of Allah the Almighty.”
Muslims are urged to live with Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as well as to hold firm, emulate and practice the Prophet’s morals. – Azlan Othman
