Syllabus Waqf-e-Nau - Part 2 (Years 7-15) — Page 31
• You should not embarrass others by pointing to their shortcomings and weaknesses. Similarly, do not expose your own faults in public. • If someone is being accused or slandered then the correct response is to minimize the discussion. • You should make it a habit to talk about Allah and His commandments in a meeting. • Lighthearted humor enhances the enjoyment and interest of the participants. • One issue should be resolved and concluded before another is raised. • Do not leave a meeting without a pressing need, which may leave you deprived of its full benefit. • If you must leave, then first obtain permission from the chairman. • If something is being distributed in a gathering, then the distribution should begin from the right hand side. • In a gathering, abstain from belching, yawning, dozing off or flatulating. You should not make fun of someone who does. • Do not always try to occupy the place of honor. • Try to be well dressed. • Try to be in the company of righteous people by going to such meetings. • If you find that signs of Allah are being ridiculed then leave such a meeting until at least the subject changes. 8-9 31
