▪ Show as much ihsan as you can to the creation. This requires great struggle. Always think good of others, push all negative thoughts away. Change yourself and you will see everything around you change as well. ▪ Make du’a to Allah to guide you to the best manners and deeds, and remove the faults from you. ▪ Memorize and remember the hadith which tells us about the weight of the good manners on the Day of Judgement. ▪ Find the ayaat which tell us about the importance of good manners from the Qura’an.
