Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Islamic Moral System: Commentary of Surah al-Hujurat Humility When Speaking ( Verses 2 – 5 ) يٌا أَيُّهٌا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاٌ تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوٌاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ وَلاٌ تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَنْ تَحْبَطَ أَعْمٌالُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لاٌ تَشْعُرُونَ.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوٌاتَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللٌّهِ أُوْلٌئِكَ الَّذِينَ امْتَحَنَ اللٌّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَى لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ. إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُنٌادُونَكَ مِنْ وَرٌاءِ الْحُجُرٌاتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لاٌ يَعْقِلُونَ. وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكٌانَ خَيْراً لَّهُمْ وَاللٌّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ “ O’ you who have true faith!

Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet (Muhammad, blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) ***and do not be loud in speaking to him (as you speak to one another) for (if you do this) then all of your (good) deeds will be made devoid of all virtue while you do not realize it.

The hearts of those who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (* Muhammad, blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) are tested by Allah through consciousness (of Allah) - they will have forgiveness and a great reward (given to them by Allah). Unquestionably most of those who call upon you (O’ Muhammad, blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) from behind the private chambers (of your house) do not have any understanding.

Had these people exercised patience until you (Muhammad, blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) had come out (from your house) then it would have been better for them and Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful .” One of the most important discussions in the science of Akhlaq relates to the method of speaking with people and the way that one interacts with individuals of various classes and strata, and in addition, observing the principles and manners of etiquette related to other people.

There are even some thinkers in the West that have carried out research projects and studies and have developed ways to influence people. These researchers have written manuals and books in relation to how people should live with others. It is interesting to note that most of the information that these experts have compiled have actually already been explicitly mentioned in the Islamic narrations!
