Belief in Allah, Angels, Books, Messengers, Last Day, and Qadr
This hadith teaches us etiquettes of eating food.
The Prophet (SAW) never criticized any food — he ate what he liked and left what he disliked.
Etiquettes of calling or texting someone.
Do not call/text them multiple times. If they pick up, ask if it's ok to speak at this time.
This is how we should react when we hear something bad about someone.
We should not spread it without verifying its truth.
Your friend uses their phone while your teacher is speaking. What do you say?
Remind them that the Prophet (SAW) gave his full attention to whoever he spoke with, and advise them to put the phone away as a sign of respect.
Difference between Qada' and Qadr
Qada' is Allah's knowledge of all things, and Qadr is Him bringing it into existence.
The Prophet said this is the distinct characteristic of Islam.
Modesty. 'Every religion has its distinct characteristic, and the distinct characteristic of Islam is modesty.'
This is the proper order for serving food to guests.
Begin with the eldest or highest in merit (e.g., a scholar), then serve from their right. If all are equal, serve from the right.
Why should we seek knowledge?
Allah & Prophet(SAW) encouraged it. Any hadith about knowledge would be correct.
Your Muslim friend tells you, "Omg she is so pretty! I wish I had her hair!" What would you advise her to say?
MashaAllah, La Hawla wa la quwatta illa bilAllah

We send blessings upon the Prophet (SAW) for this reason.
Because Allah and His angels send blessings upon him; sending salawat earns us Allah's blessings in return
Your friend tells u they made a dua months ago and nothing happened, so they've stopped making dua altogether. What do you tell them?
Remind them that an accepted dua can be answered in this life (immediately or later), used to avert a misfortune, or stored as a reward in the Akhirah. As long as they don't ask for something sinful and aren't hasty, Allah always responds in one of these three ways.
What is Illiyin and Sijjin?
Illiyin is the highest station - for the righteous souls. Sijjin is the lowest station - for the evil souls.
How to stop others from evil.
Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith
Using Allah's name casually in conversation is problematic for this reason.
Swearing by Allah (e.g., 'Wallahi') is very serious and should not be taken casually. Violating an oath taken in Allah's name is a sin and among the major sins.
