Recognition of the Companions

  Do not forsake certainty for doubt, and what is clear for what
  is hidden. Do not pass judgement on what you cannot see because
  of something you are told about it. Allah (SWT) despises slander and
  bad opinion of your believing brothers?what then does He
  think of boldness in attributing a false statement, false belief or
  lie to the Companions of the Messenger (s.w.a.s.)of Allah (SWT)?

  As He said,


        When you welcomed it with your tongues, and
        spoke with your mouths that which you had no
        knowledge of, and you deemed it an easy matter
        while with Allah it was grievous. (24:15)

  As long as you can find a way to speak well and act well of
  people whether or not thev are Dresent. do not do anvthinz else.
  Allah (SWT) said,

                       Speak to men good words. (2:83)

  Know that Allah (SWT) chose companions for His Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.), honoured
  them with the noblest mark of honour and robed them in the
  robe of support, victory and the correct keeping of his company
  in desirable and undesirable situations. He made the tongue of
  His Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) speak about their virtues, excellent qualities and
  marks of honour; so believe in their love, mention their excellence,
  and beware of the company of people of innovation, for it will
  make disbelief and clear loss grow in the heart. If the excellence
  of some of them is not clear to you, then leave them to the
  Knower of the Unseen, and say, 'O Allah (SWT), I love anyone You and
  Your Messenger love, and I hate anyone You and Your Mes-
  senger hate.' There is no obligation beyond that.

               

The Honour and Sanctity of the Believers

  No one respects the honour of the believers except the person
  who respects the honour and sacred claim of Allah (SWT) over the believ-
  ers. The person who best fulfils this sacred claim with respect
  to Allah (SWT) and His Messenger is he who is the most particular in his
  respect for the believers' claim to honour. Whoever thinks little
  of the believers' honour has rent apart the raiment of his belief.
  The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) said, 'Part of esteem for Allah (SWT) is to respect those
  who are near to Allah in belief.' And again, 'Whoever is not
  merciful to a young person nor respectful to an old person is not
  one of us. Do not call a Muslim an unbeliever when repentance
  can make up for it, unless he is someone that Allah (SWT) has mentioned
  in His Book.'

  Allah (SWT) said,

      The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the Fire. (4:145)

  Occupy yourself with your business about which you will be
  questioned.

                        

Dutifulness to Parents

  Dutifulness to one's parents comes from the bondsman's correct
  knowledge of Allah (SWT), since there is no act of worship which will
  bring the person performing it more quickly to the pleasure of
  Allah (SWT) than being dutiful to believing parents for the sake of Allah (SWT).
  This is because the right of the parents is derived from the right
  of Allah (SWT), as long as they are both on the path of the faith and the
  sunnah, and do not prevent a child from obeying Allah (SWT) for the
  sake of obedience to them, or move him from certainty to doubt,
  or from abstinence to the desires of this world, or call him to
  anything which is in opposition to faith and the sunnah. If the
  situation is like that, then it is an act of obedience to rebel against
  them, and an act of rebellion to obey them.

  Allah (SWT) said,

        If they contend with you that you should associate
        with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not
        obey them. Keep company with them kindly in
        this world, but follow the way of him who turns
        to Me, then to Me is your return! (31:15)

  As far as companionship is concerned, keep their company
  and be gentle with them. Endure their hardship just as they
  endured yours when you were young, and do not withhold from
  them that which Allah (SWT) has made plentifial for you in the way of
  food and clothes. Do not turn your face away from them nor
  raise your voice above theirs. To respect them is part of Allah (SWT)'s
  command; speak to them in the best possible way and be kind
  to them. Allah (SWT) will not let the reward of those who do good go
  to waste.
