When passing by a fellow believer or meeting someone addressing him firstly with the greeting of Islam 'As salamualaykum warahmatulahi wabarakatuh'. For it is narrated in a prophetic tradition "The person who initiates the Salaam is free from pride "it is also narrated "spread salaam amongst one another"

Along your way in pursuit of your business if you are unfortunately confronted by a disputer you don't argue with him getting into a bitter quarrel or exploit each other's vulnerability by getting into a brawl but he wards him away saying salaam "its not in my temperament to argue."

"And when the foolish (ignorant) address them (abusively) they reply back with mild words of gentleness"

When it is time to spend he goes about it moderately. "And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor niggardly (miserly), but hold a medium way between the two extremes. "

It appears in another verse of the Qur'an:

"Verily the spendthrifts are brothers of the devils and the devil was ungrateful to his Lord. "Allah also says,

"And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift) so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty."

They spend their entire time with faith and full conviction in Allah but also remain with hope in Allah s Mercy and in fear of His punishment, therefore constantly supplicating these words:

"Our Lord! Avert from us the torment of Hell, verily its torment is ever an inseparable, permanent punishment."

Throughout their day of chaos and congestion they will not forget the rights of others over them and when dealing in business if they are not busy in their occupation they will indulge in idol and baseless pursuits:

"And those who do not bear witness to falsehood (failing to fulfil other rights, neglecting rights, conning, cheating etc.) and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity (saving their self-respect)."

If someone advises them they will take heed from it and try to rectify any error found within them, and ponder over whatever has been said to him:

When they are reminded of the Ayat (verses, signs, revelation) of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat. But have ears that retain what they hear and hearts that tremble out of awe for His Majesty. "

After a long, hard day full of activities he retires thanking his Lord and commits some quality time to his Lord in the portion of the night to express his utmost gratitude upon His innumerable favours, bounties and blessings. He seeks forgiveness for the shortcomings in fulfilling the rights of the Creator created and in interacting with them:

"And those who spend the night in worship of their Lord, prostate and standing. "

When they have finally settled and concluded regarding themselves and their Lord and the people they concern themselves and focus their worries and thoughts with regards to the future progeny's supplicating:

"Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders of the Muttaqin (pious). "

KNOWLEDGE - A DIVINE LIGHT

Knowledge is a deep ocean without an ocean bed - the deeper a person dives the more mysteries of knowledge will open up for him.
By diving in the heavenly ocean he will be gifted with pearls and corals, the fruits of the ocean of knowledge.
Knowledge is a divine light which shades it's radiance on the path of life, guiding its followers through every phase of life. Knowledge is divine - it differentiates between good and evil.
So O Muslims! - Take up this quest - the quest for the search of knowledge.
Grasp it while you are healthy and fine.
Gain it with zeal and crave.
Gain it from the cradle to the grave...
