The Book of Manners

I really enjoyed reading "The Book of Manners". It taught me how to remember Allah always follow the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w).  The sahaba (companions) r.a would have their tongue constantly moist in remembering Allah. When anyone of them would use the restroom, they would put a stone in their mouth to stop themselves from making dhikar. They were so focused in worshiping that remembering Him came naturally. It was second nature for the sahaba to think about Allah and thank Him and praise Him night and day.
As I read further into the book, I realized that following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) always connects us with Allah and wins us good deeds.  And if ou think about it, when you are doing a sunnah act, you will smile because you know that the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) did the exact same thing. He was such a great man! And the great things that he used to do, now you are doing them too. This is such a good feeling. It makes you feel special and then you remember Allah and say alhamdulillah.
