    Always be Honest

    The Prophet ﷺ was called 'Al-Ameen' — the Trustworthy — even before he became a prophet. Everyone trusted him because he never lied.

    Truthfulness leads to goodness, and goodness leads to Paradise.

    Don't get Angry

    A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'Advise me!' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not get angry.' The man asked again, and got the same answer.

    When you feel angry, take a deep breath, sit down, or get a drink of water.

    Bukhari #6116

    Share with Others

    Keep Your Promises

    Be Generous — Karam

    The Prophet ﷺ never said 'no' to anyone who asked. He gave away food, clothes, even a sheep between two mountains!

    The Prophet ﷺ told us not to sit on roadsides — but if we must, we should lower our gaze, return greetings, and remove harm.

    Stay safe, look down out of respect, help others on the way.
