Islamic Etiquettes mean the behavior that Islam teaches us for dealing with elders, youngsters, and family members. A home environment becomes peaceful only when people treat each other with good manners; otherwise even siblings and parents can become like enemies. Today everyone is busy with social media “relatives,” and we don’t even know if our real family members are in difficulty. Below are some guidelines to improve the home environment for both parents and children:
For Parents
- Treat all children equally; show the same love to every child.
- If two children argue, listen to both sides before making a decision; deciding instantly is wrong and against Sunnah.
- Do not harshly beat your children thinking it’s “training.” Sometimes discipline is needed, but love and gentle advice should come first.
- If one child is smart in studies and the other is weak, don’t differentiate in love. Keep academics separate from affection you can get more details on given post link https://noorulilmonlinequranacademy.com/islamic-manners-akhlaq/
For Childrens
- Obey parents in everything except anything that leads to shirk.
- Speak softly with parents; the Qur’an forbids even saying “uff” to them.
- Love both parents equally and show respect to siblings.
- Boys should ensure that after marriage, their wife’s arrival does not reduce the love and respect they give to their parents.

Speaking Kindly and Gently
First of all, we must make the intention that we will speak gently with both our elders and youngsters. When a person breaks someone’s heart, they cannot remain happy either. Allah’s rule is: as you treat others, you will be treated in return.
We must promise ourselves never to speak harshly with our parents. They raised us with great hardship and love, and their displeasure becomes the cause of Allah’s displeasure. Even if a person owns the whole world, but his parents are unhappy with him, he can never achieve true success. Worldly success without parents’ happiness is temporary.
If either parent calls us, we should respond immediately and be ready to sacrifice anything for them—there is no act greater than this.
As parents, we should also speak with love and softness to our children. Call them kindly, add sweetness to your words, and keep your tone gentle. InshaAllah, this will fill every home with blessings and light.
Helping Siblings and Parents
Secondly, and most importantly, we must understand how to help our siblings and our parents. In my opinion, this is not a difficult question. When parents raise us, educate us, and take care of us, they naturally have some expectations—that their children will care for them in return. This is their right. Parents never demand anything for themselves; their love is such that they only wish to see their children happy and growing into good human beings.
It becomes our responsibility to take care of our parents and support our siblings as well. Help your younger brothers and sisters in their studies, teach them, guide them, and never misuse your authority over them. Do not mock them or hurt them just because they are younger. Remember, in this world many things can be gained again, but the opportunity to serve parents and siblings comes only once—don’t waste it.
In difficult times, always support your brother or sister.
May Allah grant us the opportunity to serve our parents and siblings. Ameen.

Daily Zikr and Prayers
We have already discussed the topic of good character, and now we must bring it into practice within our family. Every member of the house should strive to become someone who remembers Allah, prays regularly, and recites the Qur’an. First, each person should make a personal intention: “I will start practicing these actions myself, and then I will encourage my family as well.” With this intention, everyone will slowly become consistent in Salah, Qur’an recitation, and adhkar. The family should sit together for a few moments, speak about the greatness of Allah, share good words with each other, avoid bad and immoral conversations, and prevent one another from going towards the wrong path. Our responsibility is not only limited to practicing Deen within the family; the intention should be to first establish these actions at home and then spread the message of Allah to every person we can. May Allah grant us the ability to act upon this. Ameen.
