Good manners are part of the deen of Allah. Here are some the mannerism
of a good Muslim.

•  Drinking
   You should take at least three sips. Do not gulp.
   

•  Showing Compassion
  You should always show compassion and helpfulness to all living creatures. Especially the elderly, children and animals.

  When we see something wonderful, beautiful, or when we are impressed by something that is owned by someone else we say:
  
  Allah's Decree
  Ma Sha' Allah

•  Greeting
