5 more values espoused by Islam.



1. Smile. Its an act of charity. Smile. Its contagious. Smile. It will inevitably affect your mood and that of those who behold you. :)

2. God is Beautiful and He loves beauty. So be beautiful. Foster those qualities that will beautify you; when you are beautiful on the inside, you will also exude outward beauty.

3. Remember your manners. The Prophet (pbuh) said: "The most beloved of Allah's servants to Allah are those with the best manners." So, get that chip off your shoulder and remember please, thank you, your welcome and the rest.

4. Give, give then give some more. And do so for no other reason than to seek the pleasure of God. Do so discreetly, and without any expectations. The Quran emphasises charity 150 times. And it is one of the 5 pillars of Islam. So its importance cannot be overstated.

5. Always be just in your dealings, even if it is to your detriment. It will not go unnoticed or unrewarded where it matters most, with God.
