If we must compare ourselves to others, we should do so with those who have less going for them than ourselves. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Look towards those who are beneath you and do not look towards those who are above you. This is better so that you do not belittle Allah’s blessings.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî and Sahîh Muslim]
"The intelligent person’s tongue is behind his heart: when he wants to speak, he first thinks. If [his words] will be in his favor, he says them, and if they will be against him, he does not speak. And the ignorant person’s heart is behind his tongue: when he merely thinks of saying something, he says it, whether it is for or against him." [Al-Hasan Al-Basrî]

It is haraam to imitate the Mushrikeen & kuffaar in their manner of dress, so it is not permissible to wear clothing that is unique to the kuffaar.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) saw ‘Ali wearing two garments dyed with safflower and said: These are garments of the kuffaar; do not wear them. (Muslim | 2077)
It is mustahab (Recommended) to wear white clothes
Wear white clothes, for they are the best of your clothes, and shroud your dead in them. (al-Tirmidhi | 994)
Thank Allah and make Dua when putting on new clothes - You get reward.
It is Sunnah for the one who is putting on a new garment to thank Allaah and make du’aa’.
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) put on a new garment, he would call it by its name, whether it was a turban, a shirt or a cloak, then he would say:
Allaahumma laka al-hamd anta kasawtanihi as’aluka khayrahu wa khayri ma suni’a lah wa a’oodhu bika min sharrihi wa sharri ma suni’a lah
(O Allaah, to You be all praise. You have clothed me with it. I ask You for the good of it and the good for which it was made, and I seek refuge with You from the evil of it and the evil for which it was made).
(al-Tirmidhi | 1767 | Abu Dawood | 4020)

The one who suffers from Migraines and severe headaches is in fact very fortunate.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) suffered very much from severe headaches and migraines. Sometimes, for days on end he would suffer extreme pain and would even deliver the khutbah (sermon) with his head covered in oily bandages.
Once, describing the People of the Fire (Jahannam). Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said: They are those who do not suffer from pain in their heads.
Just then a bedouin entered and he asked him: O Bedouin! Did you ever experience this type of headache?
He replied: What is a headache?
Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said: It is the throbbing of veins in the head of a person.
The man replied: I have never experienced this.
When the bedouin turned to go away, Rasulullah (peace be upon him) said: Whoever wishes to look at a person from the People of the Fire should look at this Man. (Ahmad)

The benefits and virtues of this Ayah are numerous and here are some of them:A Guarantee of Paradise inshallah!
It was narrated that Abu Umamah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi immediately after each prescribed Prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death.” (Reported by An-Nasa’i and Ibn Hibban.)
In it the Most Great Name of Allah (ismullahi al-’atham) is mentioned.
It protects one’s self, property and home from the shayatin (devils) and brings one relief from difficulties.
The believer who recites it following an obligatory salah is under the Care and Protection of Allah until the commencement of the next prayer.
It is the only place in the Quran where the Kursi (Footstool of Allah) is mentioned
It brings an abundance of blessings when recited and blown upon food and drink
Here are some hadith about the great benefits and virtues of Ayat ul Kursi:Hadhrat Ali (ra) says that the chief of the Ayats of the Qur'aan Kareem is Ayatul Kursi.
Hadhrat Ibn Masood (ra) says that Allaah the Lofty did not create any thing in the skies or on earth, in Jannat or Jahannam, loftier than Ayatul Kursi.
Hadhrat Ibn Masood (ra) says that no space in the sky or on the earth is loftier than Ayatul Kursi.
Hadhrat Ali bin Kaab (ra) remarks that Nabi (saw) asked him," Which is the most high ranking Aayat in the Qur'aan Kareem?" He said, " Allaah and His Rasul know best". Rasulallah repeated this statement very often. Hadhrat Ali (ra) stated, "Ayatul Kursi". Nabi (saw) said:"Oh Abul Munzar (family name of Abi bin Kaab). May you be blessed by this knowledge. I swear by that Being in whose Hands and Control is my life, that this Ayat has one tongue and two lips. It is by the threshold of Allaah's Arsh, Mentioning His purity".
It is reported from Hadhrat Askee Baqri that Nabi (saw) came to the abode of the Muhajreen when one person asked, "In the Qur'aan Kareem which is the most lofty Ayat?" Nabi (saw) repeated "Ayatul Kursi".
Hadhrat Hassan reports "Marfoonaan"," I have been given Ayatul Kursi. Nabi (saw) said," Surah Fateha, Ayatul Kursi and the two Ayats of Al-Imraan (Shaheedal Allaah - 18th Ayat), and "Qul Allaahumma Malekal mulk til Bi Ghairi Hisaab (Ayat 26/7) are attached to the Arsh and say, "Oh our Rabb, You are sending us onto earth to disobedient ones!!! Allaah says ," I have given you such status, whosoever from amongst my servants recites you after every Salaat, his resting place will be Jannat. And I will make his abode in Jannatul Quddoos and fulfill 70 needs of his daily needs, the least of which is forgiving him and saving him from all enemies of evils.
It is equivalent to a quarter of the Qur'aan.
Hadhrat Anas (RA) narrates that Rasulallaah (saw) asked one of his companions: "Oh, so and so are you married?" He replied: "No, I do not have enough wealth that I may marry.” Nabi (saw) said: "Do you know Surah Qul Huwallaahu Ahad?" The Sahaba replied: "I know". Nabi (saw) said: "It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'aan. Nabi (saw) asked: "Do you not know Qul Yaa Ayyuhal Kaafiroon?" The Sababi replied "I know". Nabi (saw) said ““It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'aan." Nabi (saw) asked, "Do you not know Surah "Iza Zul Zilzilaat " ?" The Sahaabi replied, "I Know". Nabi (saw) said: "It is a quarter of the Qur'aan". Nabi (saw) asked: "Do you not know Surah Iza Jaa a Nasrullaahi Wal Fath" The Sahabi replied "I Know" Nabi (saw) said, it is a quarter of the Qur'aan. Nabi (saw) asked: "Do you know the Ayatul Kursi?" The Sahabi replied "I know". Nabi (saw) said, "It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'aan. Marry, Marry, Marry."
The Benefits and Virtues of Ayat ul Kursi
Hadhrat Anas (ra) said that Nabi (saw) said, "The one who recites Ayatul Kursi after every fard Salaat will be protected until the next Salaat and this is constantly done by a Nabi or a Siddiq or a martyr.
Hadhrat Hassan bin Ali (ra) says, "A person once asked: "Oh Rasulallaah (saw) what does that person receive who recites Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salaat ? Nabi (saw) said: "That person remains under the protection of Allaah until the next Salaat."
Hadhrat Anas (ra) says: Rasulallaah (saw) asked; "Do you know which Ayat in the Qur'aan is most lofty?” I said, Allaah and his Rasul know more." Nabi (saw) read Ayatul Kursi
Hadhrat Efai bin Abdullah Kallee said that one person asked."Oh Rasulallaah (saw), which Ayat in the Qur'aan is the most lofty one?" Nabi (saw) said: " Ayatul Kursi". The person asked,"Which Ayat has those benefits which you desire for your Ummah, in the Qur'aan?" Nabi (saw) said: "The last Ayat of Surah Baqarah, for it is from the treasures of Allaah from underneath the threshold of the Arsh. It encompasses all the good of this world and the Aakhiraat".
Hadhrat Muhammad bin al Saumi bin Al Salsal bin Damasc narrates from his father, who in turn, narrates from his father that Prophet(saw) said: " Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every fard Salaat, there is only death between him and Jannat", he will enter into Jannat immediately when he dies.
Hadhrat Ibne Anas (ra) says that Rasulallaah (saw) said: "The one who recites Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salaat, Allaah will grant him a gratifying heart, actions of the truthful and reward like the prophets (ambiya) .Special mercies will descend upon him, and death is the only barrier from his entrance into Jannat. On dying he will enter Jannat". inshallahExtra Blessing upon food it is blown upon
Hadhrat Ayesha (R.A.) narrates that one person came to Nabi (saw) and said that there was absolutely no "Barakat" (blessings) in the things at home. Nabi (saw) replied, "Why are you neglectful of Ayatul Kursi."
Whenever Aayatul Kursi is recited upon food, Allaah will increase the Barakat in that food.
For protection of one’s self, wealth, property and home from Satan:Hadhrat Ali (RA) says "I have heard Rasulallaah (saw) say that person who recites Ayatul Kursi after every Salaat, only death prevents him from Jannat and who recites it whilst retiring to his sleeping place, Allaah will protect his house, his neighbours and even his surroundings.
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (ra) narrates this (above) Hadith from Rasulallaah (saw), with the addition that there is an Ayat in Surah Baqara, which is the chief ayat of the Qur'aan. Whosoever recites it in a house wherein Shaitaan is, he (Shaitaan) will leave.
Hadhrat Ibne Masood (ra) says that a person requested Rasulallaah (saw) to teach him something that will benefit him. "Nabi (saw) said,” Read Ayatul Kursi, it will protect you, your children, home and even those houses surrounding your house."
In times of difficulty:Hadhrat Abu Zar (RA) says that he asked Rasulallaah (SAW) which was the most (Arabic) (lofty, respectable) Ayat revealed to you? Nabi (SAW) replied, "Ayatul Kursi".
Aid at the time difficulty and Angels stipulated it for Protection
Hadhrat Abu Qatada (RA) narrates that Nabi (SAW) said."Whoever reads Ayatul Kursi and the last Ayat of Surah Baqarah when in difficulty, then Allaah listens to that plea."
Hadhrat Qatadah (RA) says,” Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi on his sleeping bed, Allaah Ta'aala nominates 2 angels to protect him until morning.
Easy child-birth
Hadhrat Fatima Zahra (ra) narrates,” When the time approached for her delivery, then Nabi (saw) ordered Hadhrat Umme Salama (ra) and Hadhrat Zainab (ra) to go to Fatima and recite Ayatul Kursi and "Inna Rabba Kumullaah" (the whole Ayat) and the last two Quls and blow on her.Ayatul Kursi is the Best Means of ProtectionHadhrat Ali (ra) narrates,” I cannot understand how a person, who is a Muslim and owner of reason (intellect), can spend the night without reading Ayatul Kursi. If you knew the benefits of it, then you will never discard it under any condition". Rasulallaah (saw) stated,"I have been given Aayatul Kursi from the treasures under the Arsh of Allaah and it was not given to anyone before me".
Hadhrat Ali (ra) says, "From the time I have heard this, I have never passed a night without reading it".
Hadhrat Abu Huraia (ra) said that Rasulallaah (saw) stated that whosoever reads "Haa meem al Mu'minoon" upto "al maseer" and Ayatul Kursi in the morning, will be protected until the evening and whoever reads both of these in the night will be protected until the morning.
Hadhrat Ibne Abbass (ra) narrated that the Bani Israeel asked Musa(A.S.), "Does your Rabb sleep?" Musa(A.S.) said, "Fear Allaah". Allaah ordered," Oh Musa, your nation has asked you whether your Rabb sleeps? Take two glasses in your hand and stand with it for the whole night." Hadhrat Musa (A.S) did as he was ordered. When on third of the night passed, he fell on his knees but stood up immediately. During the latter part of the night, sleep overcame him and the glasses fell and broke. Allaah said, "Oh Musa, if I sleep then the sky will fall on the earth and destroy it just as the two glasses fell from your hands and broke.” Then Allaah Ta'aala revealed unto Nabi (saw) Ayatul Kursi.
Fulfilling 70 needs and the Ayat which gives Jannat.
Hadhrat Ali (ra) narrates that Surah Fatiha, Ayatul Kursi and two Ayats of Al Imraan (Shahidallaahu Anahu la...... Azzizul Hakeem) and (Qul Allahumma...bi Ghairi Hisaab) are linked to the arch of Allaah and between them and Allaah there are no veils. These Ayats said to Allaah "You are sending us unto earth and amongst those who become disobedient." Allaah said,"By my Being, I say, that whoever of my servants reads you (addressing the Ayats) after every fard Salaat, I will make his resting place Jannat, irrespective of what action he may be involved in and will make him stay in "Blessed Peace" and view him with my hidden eye daily seventy times and fulfil seventy of his needs daily, amongst which the smallest is forgiveness and I will protect him from every enemy and assist him against the enemies".

The benefits and virtues of this Ayah are numerous and here are some of them:A Guarantee of Paradise inshallah!
It was narrated that Abu Umamah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever recites Ayat Al-Kursi immediately after each prescribed Prayer, there will be nothing standing between him and his entering Paradise except death.” (Reported by An-Nasa’i and Ibn Hibban.)
In it the Most Great Name of Allah (ismullahi al-’atham) is mentioned.
It protects one’s self, property and home from the shayatin (devils) and brings one relief from difficulties.
The believer who recites it following an obligatory salah is under the Care and Protection of Allah until the commencement of the next prayer.
It is the only place in the Quran where the Kursi (Footstool of Allah) is mentioned
It brings an abundance of blessings when recited and blown upon food and drink
Here are some hadith about the great benefits and virtues of Ayat ul Kursi:Hadhrat Ali (ra) says that the chief of the Ayats of the Qur'aan Kareem is Ayatul Kursi.
Hadhrat Ibn Masood (ra) says that Allaah the Lofty did not create any thing in the skies or on earth, in Jannat or Jahannam, loftier than Ayatul Kursi.
Hadhrat Ibn Masood (ra) says that no space in the sky or on the earth is loftier than Ayatul Kursi.
Hadhrat Ali bin Kaab (ra) remarks that Nabi (saw) asked him," Which is the most high ranking Aayat in the Qur'aan Kareem?" He said, " Allaah and His Rasul know best". Rasulallah repeated this statement very often. Hadhrat Ali (ra) stated, "Ayatul Kursi". Nabi (saw) said:"Oh Abul Munzar (family name of Abi bin Kaab). May you be blessed by this knowledge. I swear by that Being in whose Hands and Control is my life, that this Ayat has one tongue and two lips. It is by the threshold of Allaah's Arsh, Mentioning His purity".
It is reported from Hadhrat Askee Baqri that Nabi (saw) came to the abode of the Muhajreen when one person asked, "In the Qur'aan Kareem which is the most lofty Ayat?" Nabi (saw) repeated "Ayatul Kursi".
Hadhrat Hassan reports "Marfoonaan"," I have been given Ayatul Kursi. Nabi (saw) said," Surah Fateha, Ayatul Kursi and the two Ayats of Al-Imraan (Shaheedal Allaah - 18th Ayat), and "Qul Allaahumma Malekal mulk til Bi Ghairi Hisaab (Ayat 26/7) are attached to the Arsh and say, "Oh our Rabb, You are sending us onto earth to disobedient ones!!! Allaah says ," I have given you such status, whosoever from amongst my servants recites you after every Salaat, his resting place will be Jannat. And I will make his abode in Jannatul Quddoos and fulfill 70 needs of his daily needs, the least of which is forgiving him and saving him from all enemies of evils.
It is equivalent to a quarter of the Qur'aan.
Hadhrat Anas (RA) narrates that Rasulallaah (saw) asked one of his companions: "Oh, so and so are you married?" He replied: "No, I do not have enough wealth that I may marry.” Nabi (saw) said: "Do you know Surah Qul Huwallaahu Ahad?" The Sahaba replied: "I know". Nabi (saw) said: "It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'aan. Nabi (saw) asked: "Do you not know Qul Yaa Ayyuhal Kaafiroon?" The Sababi replied "I know". Nabi (saw) said ““It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'aan." Nabi (saw) asked, "Do you not know Surah "Iza Zul Zilzilaat " ?" The Sahaabi replied, "I Know". Nabi (saw) said: "It is a quarter of the Qur'aan". Nabi (saw) asked: "Do you not know Surah Iza Jaa a Nasrullaahi Wal Fath" The Sahabi replied "I Know" Nabi (saw) said, it is a quarter of the Qur'aan. Nabi (saw) asked: "Do you know the Ayatul Kursi?" The Sahabi replied "I know". Nabi (saw) said, "It is equal to a quarter of the Qur'aan. Marry, Marry, Marry."
The Benefits and Virtues of Ayat ul Kursi
Hadhrat Anas (ra) said that Nabi (saw) said, "The one who recites Ayatul Kursi after every fard Salaat will be protected until the next Salaat and this is constantly done by a Nabi or a Siddiq or a martyr.
Hadhrat Hassan bin Ali (ra) says, "A person once asked: "Oh Rasulallaah (saw) what does that person receive who recites Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salaat ? Nabi (saw) said: "That person remains under the protection of Allaah until the next Salaat."
Hadhrat Anas (ra) says: Rasulallaah (saw) asked; "Do you know which Ayat in the Qur'aan is most lofty?” I said, Allaah and his Rasul know more." Nabi (saw) read Ayatul Kursi
Hadhrat Efai bin Abdullah Kallee said that one person asked."Oh Rasulallaah (saw), which Ayat in the Qur'aan is the most lofty one?" Nabi (saw) said: " Ayatul Kursi". The person asked,"Which Ayat has those benefits which you desire for your Ummah, in the Qur'aan?" Nabi (saw) said: "The last Ayat of Surah Baqarah, for it is from the treasures of Allaah from underneath the threshold of the Arsh. It encompasses all the good of this world and the Aakhiraat".
Hadhrat Muhammad bin al Saumi bin Al Salsal bin Damasc narrates from his father, who in turn, narrates from his father that Prophet(saw) said: " Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every fard Salaat, there is only death between him and Jannat", he will enter into Jannat immediately when he dies.
Hadhrat Ibne Anas (ra) says that Rasulallaah (saw) said: "The one who recites Ayatul Kursi after every Fard Salaat, Allaah will grant him a gratifying heart, actions of the truthful and reward like the prophets (ambiya) .Special mercies will descend upon him, and death is the only barrier from his entrance into Jannat. On dying he will enter Jannat". inshallahExtra Blessing upon food it is blown upon
Hadhrat Ayesha (R.A.) narrates that one person came to Nabi (saw) and said that there was absolutely no "Barakat" (blessings) in the things at home. Nabi (saw) replied, "Why are you neglectful of Ayatul Kursi."
Whenever Aayatul Kursi is recited upon food, Allaah will increase the Barakat in that food.
For protection of one’s self, wealth, property and home from Satan:Hadhrat Ali (RA) says "I have heard Rasulallaah (saw) say that person who recites Ayatul Kursi after every Salaat, only death prevents him from Jannat and who recites it whilst retiring to his sleeping place, Allaah will protect his house, his neighbours and even his surroundings.
Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (ra) narrates this (above) Hadith from Rasulallaah (saw), with the addition that there is an Ayat in Surah Baqara, which is the chief ayat of the Qur'aan. Whosoever recites it in a house wherein Shaitaan is, he (Shaitaan) will leave.
Hadhrat Ibne Masood (ra) says that a person requested Rasulallaah (saw) to teach him something that will benefit him. "Nabi (saw) said,” Read Ayatul Kursi, it will protect you, your children, home and even those houses surrounding your house."
In times of difficulty:Hadhrat Abu Zar (RA) says that he asked Rasulallaah (SAW) which was the most (Arabic) (lofty, respectable) Ayat revealed to you? Nabi (SAW) replied, "Ayatul Kursi".
Aid at the time difficulty and Angels stipulated it for Protection
Hadhrat Abu Qatada (RA) narrates that Nabi (SAW) said."Whoever reads Ayatul Kursi and the last Ayat of Surah Baqarah when in difficulty, then Allaah listens to that plea."
Hadhrat Qatadah (RA) says,” Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi on his sleeping bed, Allaah Ta'aala nominates 2 angels to protect him until morning.
Easy child-birth
Hadhrat Fatima Zahra (ra) narrates,” When the time approached for her delivery, then Nabi (saw) ordered Hadhrat Umme Salama (ra) and Hadhrat Zainab (ra) to go to Fatima and recite Ayatul Kursi and "Inna Rabba Kumullaah" (the whole Ayat) and the last two Quls and blow on her.Ayatul Kursi is the Best Means of ProtectionHadhrat Ali (ra) narrates,” I cannot understand how a person, who is a Muslim and owner of reason (intellect), can spend the night without reading Ayatul Kursi. If you knew the benefits of it, then you will never discard it under any condition". Rasulallaah (saw) stated,"I have been given Aayatul Kursi from the treasures under the Arsh of Allaah and it was not given to anyone before me".
Hadhrat Ali (ra) says, "From the time I have heard this, I have never passed a night without reading it".
Hadhrat Abu Huraia (ra) said that Rasulallaah (saw) stated that whosoever reads "Haa meem al Mu'minoon" upto "al maseer" and Ayatul Kursi in the morning, will be protected until the evening and whoever reads both of these in the night will be protected until the morning.
Hadhrat Ibne Abbass (ra) narrated that the Bani Israeel asked Musa(A.S.), "Does your Rabb sleep?" Musa(A.S.) said, "Fear Allaah". Allaah ordered," Oh Musa, your nation has asked you whether your Rabb sleeps? Take two glasses in your hand and stand with it for the whole night." Hadhrat Musa (A.S) did as he was ordered. When on third of the night passed, he fell on his knees but stood up immediately. During the latter part of the night, sleep overcame him and the glasses fell and broke. Allaah said, "Oh Musa, if I sleep then the sky will fall on the earth and destroy it just as the two glasses fell from your hands and broke.” Then Allaah Ta'aala revealed unto Nabi (saw) Ayatul Kursi.
Fulfilling 70 needs and the Ayat which gives Jannat.
Hadhrat Ali (ra) narrates that Surah Fatiha, Ayatul Kursi and two Ayats of Al Imraan (Shahidallaahu Anahu la...... Azzizul Hakeem) and (Qul Allahumma...bi Ghairi Hisaab) are linked to the arch of Allaah and between them and Allaah there are no veils. These Ayats said to Allaah "You are sending us unto earth and amongst those who become disobedient." Allaah said,"By my Being, I say, that whoever of my servants reads you (addressing the Ayats) after every fard Salaat, I will make his resting place Jannat, irrespective of what action he may be involved in and will make him stay in "Blessed Peace" and view him with my hidden eye daily seventy times and fulfil seventy of his needs daily, amongst which the smallest is forgiveness and I will protect him from every enemy and assist him against the enemies".

A poor man complained to Hazrat Shahabuddin Ibn Arslan (radi Allahu anhu) about his illness. The disease was incurable. No doctor or physician could even suggest any medicine for his disease. Hazrat Shahabuddin (radi Allahu anhu), who was a very great Saint, listened patiently to this poor man and then told him to recite the above Durood Shareef. The poor man immediately did so and his illness disappeared so quickly as if it was never present. The poor man gladly returned to his house.

HOW TO YAWN IN ISLAM:
WHEN ONE OF YOU YAWNS, HE SHOULD TRY TO RESTRAIN IT;
Narrated by AbuSa'id al-Khudri(Radhiallaho anho): Allah's Messenger (sallAllaahu `alaihi wasallam) said: When one of you yawns, he should try to restrain it with the help of his hand since it is the Satan that enters therein. [ Sahih Muslim Number 7131 ]
----------------------------------------
The Prophet (S A W) said:
1) "When you yawn, cover your mouth with your hand." (Muslim)
2) "Try as hard as possible to overcome your yawns while you are in your prayers". (Muslim)
3) "Allah likes the sneeze and dislikes the yawn. When someone amongst you makes a sound like "aah aah" while yawning, the shaitan (satan) laughs in his open mouth." (Tirmidhi)
4) "Allah likes the sneeze and dislikes the yawn. When someone among you sneezes and says: 'Alhamdulillah' (All praise to Allah [for relieving me]), it is essential for all those who hear him to say: "yarhamukallah" (May Allah have mercy on you). While if someone feels that he is about to yawn, he should try to overcome it, as much as possible [and if it is not possible to overcome it] he must not make sounds like: "haah haah". These sounds are prompted by the shaitan (satan) and he laughs when you make such sounds [while yawning]". (Tirmidhi)
CLIPPING NAILS ACCORDING TO SUNNAH:
A Muslim has to remain clean and tidy and the time. Growing nails is a detested act and may lead to various diseases. The Holy Prophet (SAW), therefore, urged the Muslims to clip their nails at regular intervals.
Abu Hurayra (RA) reported that the Glorious Prophet (SAW) said: “Five things are from the traditions of the Prophets of the old: circumcision, removing the hair below the navel, trimming the moustaches, cutting the nails and removing the hair from armpit.” (Bukhari, Muslim).
The Holy Prophet not only prescribed the duration but the mode of cutting nails as well. The glorious Prophet (SAW) and the pious companions (RA) would clip their nails every week. Nail clipping every Friday is desirable if it may be inconvenient, then once in a fortnight. In any case, nails should not be allowed to grow more than forty days at a stretch. (Reported by Muslim and narrated by Anas (RA).
Durr-e- Mukhtar quoting the most revered Prophet (SAW) reports a simple method. “Start cutting the nails from the pointer of the right hand and finish with the little finger. Then start cutting the nails of the left hand beginning from the little finger and finish with the thumb and finally cut the nails of the right thumb.”
A Muslim should not clip his nails when taking a bath has become obligatory for him/her. Similarly a woman should not clip her nails during periods. It is Makrooh (not desirable).
Clipping nails is necessary. Abu Hurayra (RA) reported that the Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “He who does not shave off the hair from the abdomen and does not cut his nails and does not trim his moustaches, is not of us” (Muslim).
This hadith applies to women as well as far as clipping nails is concerned. The women by and large grow their nails. According to them long nails add to their beauty. The hadith must serve as an eye opener for them. Conceding one’s faith for long nails is not a good bargain.
Some people eat their nails. This has been strictly forbidden by the most revered Prophet (SAW). According to Alamgiri it may cause leprosy. It also makes others sick.
However, a person should not clip his nails while in Ahraam or during the first ten days of Dhul Hajj if he intends to offer sacrifice. "Once the ten days start, for those of you who have the intention to sacrifice, let them not cut any of their hair or nails (until they sacrifice)." (Al Muslim).
Cutting the nails is part of the fitrah and a person may cut his nails whenever he wants, at any time of day or night. Also there is no specific rulings as to bury it or dispose it or throw it away. Perhaps some Muslims Scholars have preferred Friday since this day every Muslim is to take a bath, clean bodies and do most of the fitra activities. (Allah knows best)
Whoever does not cut his nails is going against the fitrah. The reason behind this is cleanliness and hygiene, because dirt can gather under the nails. It also serves the purpose of making us different from those among the kuffaar who allow their nails to grow long, and from animals that have claws and talons.

3) Recite "Bismillah" before drinking.
4) After drinking say " Alhamdullilah" .
5) Drink in 3 breaths removing the utensil from the mouth after each sip.
6) Do not drink directly from the jug or bottle. One should pour the contents into a glass first and then drink.
7) Drinking Zam Zam water while standing is Sunnah.
