Play fair in sports, as well as in all worldly matters. Justice is the cardinal law in Islam<\/p>\n

Share every thing with others \u2014 there is blissful joy in sharing and caring.<\/p>\n

Put things back where you found them, you will be happy to find it there when you need it.<\/p>\n

Clean your mess \u2014 how awful it is, if others see our dirty stuff!<\/p>\n

Do not take things that are not yours, beware taking anything without permission is thieving.<\/p>\n

Say you are sorry when you hurt anybody, bodily or mentally. Allah does not like it when someone hurts another person.<\/p>\n

Do not forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed and take a bath every day.<\/p>\n

Do not forget your prayers. It helps us keep God in our hearts.<\/p>\n

Always greet elders and young ones with As Salaamu Alykum when you get up in the morning.<\/p>\n

Do some physical exercise in the morning before breakfast. Yoga exercise is simple and good.<\/p>\n

Shabby exterior gives a bad impression, when you dress up make sure your clothes and are clean and ironed.<\/p>\n

Flush the toilet after use. Clean the mess wherever you find it. Cleanliness is half of the faith.<\/p>\n

Choose some good hobby to spend your leisure hours. Why not book reading? You will never be alone with a book in your pocket.<\/p>\n

Unless you make a public commitment, your faith will not take hold. You can not be a private Muslim.<\/p>\n

Make sure people know you are a Muslim and always be a good example.<\/p>\n

Time is your friend. Don\u2019t kill it.<\/p>\n

The best way to destroy an enemy is make them your friend.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be liberal in making promises, when you make any fulfill it as a word of honor.<\/p>\n

Respect is a matter of give and take, as love begets love.<\/p>\n

Talk politely even in disagreement \u2014 it is better to lose an argument than to lose a friend.<\/p>\n

Talk in even and low voice tones, whining and braying is a donkey\u2019s trait. Talking softly is a sign of being cultured.<\/p>\n

Always be humble. God does not like arrogance.<\/p>\n

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.<\/p>\n

Do not say I cannot, say God willing I will try. If you have a will to do \u2014 Allah will help you in your endeavor.<\/p>\n

It is better to have tried and lost, than not to have tried at all.<\/p>\n

You can accomplish anything under the sun, with determination followed by hard work.<\/p>\n

If you pray for anything pray for knowledge and wisdom.<\/p>\n

There is nothing that can defeat honesty and hard work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is said \u201cwise people talk less, eat less, and sleep less\u201d.<\/p>\n

Never eat anything unless you are hungry. And according to our Prophet when you do eat keep one third of your stomach for food, one third for water and one third empty.<\/p>\n

Oppression is the vilest manifestation of barbarism. Neither oppress anybody nor be oppressed.<\/p>\n

Any activity can be made creative by a dint of zeal and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

It is through passion that people achieve success. Find your passion.<\/p>\n

Read, Understand and live your life by the Quran.<\/p>\n
