As-salaamu `alaykum

This thread has popped up, perhaps for the third or fourth time now. Each time it has been closed, as threads of this title lead to us praising one another. The Messenger of Allaah, sall-Allaahu `alayhi wasallaam, discouraged this so severely, saying that whoever praises his brother has "cut his neck", and in other narrations, "destroyed him". Other narrations command/urge us to throw dust in the faces of thse who praise us. These ahaadeeth can be found in Al-Bukhaaree's Al-Adab Al-Mufrad.

It is good to say something nice about someone, but it is better to be said in their absence, since this is what is preferred and allowed in Islaam. If you praise someone, do it in their absence, so that inshaa' Allaah, your speech will accumulate rewards and be of benefit to the one being praised; people will think better of them and harm is less likely to be done. Yet when we praise each other to our faces, we are making each other feel vain, proud and a sense of pride and other such thoughts. The proof for this is the happiness of the one being praised, if he or she were to shows signs of happiness, it more so indicates a lack of humility and humbleness.

I understand that this praising culture has been embedded in us like many other habits from the kuffaar. Let's try to excel in our Islamic character, which is not accompanied with these harmful traits. In the west, we are taught that when someone praises us we should say thank you. These words, whether you mean them or not, indicate acceptance of praise, and that is exactly what the ahaadeeth are warning against, that we accept the praise we receive, since it completely opposes humility.

Was-salaam
