How often have we not heard our elders say-look these days youngsters have no etiquettes and manners. Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) always advised his companions on discipline and good manners. One should constantly strive to adorn their lives by translating the etiquettes and manners to gain respect and gratitude, They should adopt these as conventional rules of social behavior and professional conduct. The basic manners and etiquettes come from parents who pass it on to their children. A successful person is one who has the best of etiquettes and manners both in the personal as well as the professional life. As Muslims, it becomes all the more important for us to follow the guidelines of the Prophet (Pbuh).

Here are some tips to follow while conversing with a person

Always speak politely. Wear a smile on you face and a sweet tone in your speech.
Always say what is just and fair regardless of any loss to you, friend or relative.
Be soft spoken, reasonable and sympathetic in your conversation.
When a woman talks to a man, she should be straight and clear rather than using a sweet tone lest the listener misunderstands.
Always be brief and to the point in your talk. It is unfair to prolong discussion without reason.
Never indulge in flattery, mind your honour, dignity and respect
Do not interrupt in other people’s conversation without their permission.
When you talk to someone older to you, talk to them with warmth and affection.
With parents- talk to them in a soft way and never be harsh in your speech as it is a sin if you do so.
Speak slowly and patiently so that your words are understood by all.
Most youngsters rush through their answers when they are questioned- so… think before you speak.
It is wise to be a good listener and use your sense of humour in a conversation cautiously as one never knows it could hurt someone unintentionally.
In Surah Hujurat, the believers are ordained not to raise their voices above the Prophet (Pbuh). So gentleness seems to be the core of all conversations we have with each other in our day -to- day life. Relationships remain harmonious when our conversations are gentle, to the point, polite and focussed. So be the best when you converse!
