A believer never abuses, mocks or talks inappropriately

Messenger of Allah S.A.W.S said
"A believer is never a person who scoffs at others, calls them (offensive) names, or utters vulgar and obscene phrases."
(Tirmidhi)

"A believer is not a fault-finder and is not abusive, obscene, or coarse."
(Bukhari)

Prophet S.A.W.S. said: Do not abuse anyone. He s.a.w. said that he did not abuse a freeman, or a slave, or a camel or a sheep thenceforth.
(Sunan Abu Dawood)

"In Muhammad s.a.w you have a good example to follow" (Qur'an 33:21)

لَّقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ۬ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرۡجُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلۡأَخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرً۬ا
"Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much"
(Qur'an 33:21)


قُلۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡ ذُنُوبَكُمۡ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬
Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "If you love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
(Qur'an 3:31)

"Don't wish for things that Allah has given more to others" (Qur'an 4:32)

لَا تَتَمَنَّوۡاْ مَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦ بَعۡضَكُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ۬‌ۚ لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ۬ مِّمَّا ٱڪۡتَسَبُو
"And wish not for those things in which Allah has bestowed His gifts more freely on some of you than on others"
(Qur'an 4:32)

Commentary: Do not wish for things that other people are endowed with more than you, for this is a decision that will come to pass, and wishing does not change its decree. However, ask Allah of His favor and He is the Most Generous and Most Giving.

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهِۦۤ أَزۡوَٲجً۬ا مِّنۡہُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لِنَفۡتِنَہُمۡ فِيهِ‌ۚ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَبۡقَىٰ

"And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them, the splendour of the life of this world that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting."


(Qur'an 20:131)



Messenger of Allah Posted Image said: "When one of you looks at one who stands at a higher level than you in regard to wealth and physical structure he should also see one who stands at a lower level than you in regard to these things (in which he stands) at a higher level (as compared to him)."
[Sahih Muslim]

"Prophet (S) never beat anyone, neither a woman nor a servant.."

'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger :saws: never beat anyone with his hand, neither a woman nor a servant, but only, in the case when he had been fighting in the cause of Allah and he never took revenge for anything unless the things made inviolable by Allah were made violable; he then took revenge for Allah, the Exalted and Glorious.

[Sahih Muslim]

"Leave all sin, open or secret" (Qur'an 6:120)

وَذَرُواْ ظَـٰهِرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَبَاطِنَهُ ۥۤ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡسِبُونَ ٱلۡإِثۡمَ سَيُجۡزَوۡنَ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَقۡتَرِفُونَ
"Leave all sin, open and secret. Verily, those who commit sin will get due recompense for that which they used to commit"

(
Qur'an 6:120)

"Whatever Allah takes away or gives, belongs to Him"

The daughter of the Prophet (SAWS) sent for him as her child was dying, but the Prophet (SAWS) returned the messenger and sent her good wishes saying,
"Whatever Allah takes away or gives, belongs to Him, and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world), and so she should be patient and anticipate Allah's reward."

[Bukhari]

The amazing story of Prophet Ibrahim's wife, Sara ad the cruel kingn

Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) came in a land inhabited by haughty and cruel men along with Sara. She was very good-looking amongst the people, so he said to her: If these were to know that you are my wife they would snatch you away from me, so if they ask you tell that you are my sister and in fact you are my sister in Islam, and I do not know of any other Muslim in this land besides I and you.

And when they entered that land the tyrants came to see her and said to him (the king): "There comes to your land a woman, whom you alone deserve to possess". So he (the king sent someone towards her) and she was brought and Ibrahim (peace be upon him) stood in prayer.

And when she visited him (the tyrant king) he could not help but stretch his hand towards her and his hand was tied up.
He said: " Supplicate Allah so that He may release my hand and I will do no harm to you." She did that and the man repeated (the same highhandedness) and his hand was again tied up more tightly than on the first occasion and he said to her like that and she again did that (supplicated), but he repeated (the same highhandedness and his hands were tied up more tightly than on the previous occasion).
He then again said: "Supplicate your Lord so that He may set my hand free; by Allah I shall do no harm to you." She did and his hand was freed.

Then he called the person who had brought her and said to him:" You have brought to me the satan and you have not brought to me a human being, so turn them out from my land" And he gave Hajira as a gift to her. She returned (along with Hajira) and when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) saw her, he said: "How have you returned?" She said: "With full safety (have I returned). Allah held the hand of that debauch and he gave me a maid-servant.
"
