Importance of Courteous Behaviour

This post is inspired by the book Be Courteous Be Blessed by Shaykh Zulfiqar Ahmad

Many of the Muslims complain that with modern education and media Muslims in particular have forgotten ethics and Courteous behaviour that the very Islam taught which is what our society needs today.
Islam is a perfect and complete Deen( Religion) and it has declared the Seerat e Nabwi, way of life of Prophet sws as the origin and source of faith, worship, conduct and manners. This is the very reason that when Islam came in Arabia the most Barbarian and uncivilized community was made civilized in matters of no time. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: that my Lord taught me manners- and best manners indeed.
Thus every momin( believer) should add elegance to his deeds by adopting courteous behavior in every aspect of his/her life. Remember, than a deed that is devoid of courteous behavior is actually devoid of elegance and is thus displeasing with Allah Almighty. It is mentioned in Hadis e Qudsi : Allah Talla is beautiful and likes beauty.
Some Quotes:
1) Hazarat Umar ( RA): First learn courteous behavior then gain knowledge.
2) Hazarat Ali( RA): Everything carries a price- a human price is his knowledge and courteous behavior.
3) Hazarat Abdullah bin Mubarak( RA) : If I come to know of a person who possesses the knowledge of the ancient and the modern times, but is deprived of courteous behavior- I do not feel sorry if I miss a meeting with him. And when I come to know of a person who is said to possess courteous behavior - I feel sorry if I fail to meet him.
