work and I didnt miss the work environment much except for a
Hadith of the Day 12 Tips from the Sunnah to Communicate Effectively with Others
The school where I used to work, being an Islamic one, had the
full Islamic greeting instilled in its students from an early age, so
whenever I used to enter any classroom and utter the greetings of
peace, the entire class would reply, waalaykum as-salaam
warahmatul laahi wa barakaatuh (and may the peace and
blessings [of Allah] be upon you) in unison.
It was so beautiful, so pleasing to the ears and I had taken it for
granted! Though I knew I could not have that many duas
showered over me now that I was at home, I made a mental note
to use every talking/meeting opportunity (provided the kids
werent crying or in tantrum-mode) to say the full greeting to
everybody with the hope of receiving the same beautiful greeting;
a small decision with much to yield, In sha Allah.
We meet our brothers and sisters day in and day out. The sunnah
of the Prophet
(http://productivemuslim.com/building-productiverelationships/#utm_source=ProM-Website&utm_medium=ProMWebsite&utm_campaign=Website-Interlinking)and etiquettes of
communicating with people in meetings, gatherings and
elsewhere. If we were to follow the sunnah when communicating
with people, we would be earning ourselves a great deal of
reward, In sha Allah.
So, lets recall some fantastic communication tips from the
sunnah. But before proceeding, remember that our intentions
must be pure and sincere, and unnecessary communication with
non-mahrams of the opposite sex should be avoided as much as
possible:
1. Smile: The Prophet
said:
Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity. [Jami` atTirmidhi (http://sunnah.com/tirmidhi/27/62)]
Before you start talking, smile! This is an instant ingredient to start
any conversation positively and to remove any past ill feelings that
could be present.
Smiling brings joy to the giver and the receiver (imagine being
both!).
2. Pay attention to the tone and volume: Beware of your tone and
the volume of your voice. Your tone determines whether you will
said:
A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which pleases Allah without
giving it much importance, and because of that Allah will raise him
to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter a word
(carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its gravity
and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire. [Sahih alBukhari] (http://sunnah.com/bukhari/81/67)
9. Choose simple, concise words: Avoid complex language and
sophisticated terminologies. Instead, try to stick to concise words
and phrases that are of eloquence and seek to be understood.The
Prophet
said:
another) lest you lose courage and your strength depart, and be
patient. Surely, Allah is with those who are As-Sabirin (the patient
ones, etc.). [Quran: Chapter 8, Verse 46
(http://quran.com/search?
q=and+do+not+dispute+%28with+one+another%29)]
If you realize you are already in a dispute, be wise and argue with
that which is better. Allah
says:
And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that
[deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you
and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted
friend. [Quran: Chapter 41, Verse 34 (http://quran.com/41/34)]
If you find the argument going nowhere positive, stop before you
get angry, smile and retreat after trying your best to reconcile for
when a man said to the Prophet
get angry. He repeated his question several times and again the
Prophet
(http://sunnah.com/urn/2118020)]
11. End with the greeting: Before departing, smile, shake hands
and greet people warmly with the salam.
12. In writing, start with Allahs Name: If you were to communicate
in writing, in addition to the points above that are relevant, it is
desirable to start your written communication with Bismillaahir
Rahmaanir Raheem [In the name of Allah, the Continuously
Merciful, the Especially Merciful]. This was done by the Prophet
numerous times when he dispatched letters to kings and
heads of peoples and tribes.
So that was a list of the basic etiquette from the sunnah on
communicating effectively with people. Smiling and starting with
the salam, speaking kindly and gently, showing warmth by shaking
hands or a hug, giving due respect and/or showing love by
considering the position of whom you are addressing, saying only
have ten times the like thereof [to his credit], and whoever comes
with an evil deed will not be recompensed except the like thereof;
and they will not be wronged. [Quran: Chapter 6, Verse 160
(http://quran.com/6/160)]
