Beautiful Sunnahs To Do Everyday of Our Lives! 1. Wrong doing: If any news of a persons wrong doing reached Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) then he never said the name of the person like “What has happened to that person why are they indulging against such and such wrong.” but without mentioning the names of the person he would say it in general terms like for e.g. “What has happened to people that they are indulging in such and such wrong.” (Tirmidhi) 2. When Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) walked: He never caused anyone to move from his path. When walking Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to lift his feet with so much vigour’s as if ascending a high place and when placing the feet on the ground he used to lower it in such a manner as if descending. (Tirmidhi) 3. Whilst sneezing: Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would cover his face with his hand or cloth. (Tirmidhi) When you sneeze, and then say: (i) Alhamdu lillaah All praises and thanks are to Allah. Your companion should say: (ii) Yarhamukallaah May Allah have mercy upon you. When someone says Yarhamukallaah to you then you should say: (iii) Yahdeekumul-laahu wa yuslihu baalakum. May Allah guide you and set your affairs in order. (Al-Bukhari 7/125) 4. On a very windy day: Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)would read the following: Allaahumma innee a’udhu bika minsharrimaa arsalthu feehaa “Oh Allah I seek refuge in you from the evil of that which you have sent in it”. (Tabarani) Also: Allaahumma innee asaluka khayrahaa, wa aoothu bika min sharrihaa. O Allah, I ask You for the good of it and seek refuge in You against its evil. (Abu Dawud 4/326, Ibn Majah 2/1228) Also at the time of heavy winds sit in the position of attahiyat and recite: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا رَحْمَةً وَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا عَذَابَاً اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا رِيَاحَاً وَلَا تَجْعَلْهَا رِيحَاً Allaahummaj ‘al haa rahmathan walaa thaj ‘al haa ‘adhaaballaahummaj ‘al haa riyaa ha an walaa thaj ‘al haa riyaa O Allah let it be a mercy and not a punishment. O Allah make it a beneficial and not a destructive wind. (Mishkat) If there is darkness with the heavy wind, recite Surah Falaq and Surah Naas. (Mishkat) The Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: The Wind is of the Mercy of Allah. It brings mercy, and it brings torture. So when you see it, do not curse it, and ask Allah for its good, and solicit Allahs protection from its evil. (Abu Dawood and Ibn Mãjah) 5. When yawning: it is Sunnah to prevent it as far as possible. (Bukhari) If the mouth cannot be kept closed despite making an effort to do so, and then place the back of the left hand over the mouth. While yawning, any sound should not be allowed to emanate as this is forbidden in the hadith. (Bukhar-Vol.2, pg.919, Muslim-Vol.2, pg. 412, 413) 6. When hearing a good name: then to regard it as a good omen is Sunnah and to become pleased with this is also Sunnah. To regard anything as a bad omen is strictly prohibited. For example, when someone sneezes, to think that you will not succeed in your work or to regard the cawing of a crow or the sight of a monkey or the hooting of an owl as an indication of an impending calamity is baseless and a result of ignorance and incorrect beliefs and superstitions. In the same manner to regard someone as a means of bad luck or to regard any day as bad is a very evil act. (Mirqaat-Vol.9, pg. 2, 6. etc) 7. When bidding farewell: to anyone to any person or group of people then Rasulallah read the following dua: Asthawdi’ullaaha deenakum wa amaa nathakum wa khawaa theema a’maa lakum “To Allah I hand your deen, your trust and the consequence (result) of your actions”. (Abu Dawood) 8. At the onset of winter: Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) would begin sleeping inside the house on a Friday night and similarly his sleeping outside the house in summer, would also commence on a Friday night. (Ibn- Asakir) 9. When looking into the mirror say: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ حَسَّنْتَ خَلْقِي فَحَسِّنْ خُلُقِي Allaahumma antha hassantha khalqee fahassin khulqee “Oh Allah, you have made perfect my body, so also make perfect my character.” (Darami) 10. At the time of rain: اللَّهُمَّ صَيِّبَاً نَافِعَا Allaahumma Sayyibann Naafi’aa “O Allaah, (bring) beneficial rain clouds.” (Bukhari – Fathul-Bari 2/518) After it has rained: مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللهِ وَ رَحْمَتِهِ Mutirnaa bifadhlillaahi wa rahmatihi “It has rained by the bounty of Allaah and His Mercy” (Bukhari 1/205, Muslim 1/83) 11. At the time of thunder: سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةٌ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ SubhanAllaahil ladhii yusabbihur ra’du bi hamdihi wal malaa-ikatu min kheefatihi “Glory is to Him Whom thunder and angels glorify due to fear of Him.” Whenever Abdullaah bin Zubair would hear thunder, he would abandon all conversation and say this supplication. (Muwatta 2/992) Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) also used to read at the time of thunder: اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ Allahumma laa thaqthulnaa bighabika walaa thuhliknaa b’adhaa bika w’aa finaa qabla dhaalik “Oh Allah do not kill us in your anger, do not destroy us with your punishment, and grant us safety before that”. (Tirmidhi) 12. Caring for orphans: It is narrated on the authority of Sahl bin Sad (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said: I and the carer of the orphan are like this in paradise.

Visiting one another for the sake of Allah: It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurraira that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said: A man visited a brother of his in another town and Allahappointed an angel to guard him on his way.

He said, No, it is only that I love him for the sake of Allah Almighty. He said, I am the messenger of Allah to you to tell you that Allah loves you as you love this man for His sake. (Muslim 6549) 15.
