The Etiquette Of Visiting The Sick by Lukgaf(m): 7:20pm On Dec 31, 2020
As human beings, we are bound to get sick. If a Muslim is sick, it is the right of other Muslims to visit and pray for the person. Below are some of the etiquette of visiting the sick.


All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

First of all, it should be noted that visiting the sick is something religiously encouraged and it is one of the rights of a Muslim on his Muslim brother. The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "Whosoever visits an ailing person or a brother in Faith seeking the Pleasure of Allaah, an announcer (angel) calls out: `May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you be awarded a dignified position in Paradise". [At-Tirmithi and Ibn Maajah]. Furthermore, the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "The rights of a Muslim on his Muslim brother are six, (and he mentioned) … if he gets sick, you should visit him." [Muslim].

The scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them stated some etiquettes of visiting the sick, among which are the following:

1- Choosing a suitable time for the visit.

2- Not sitting for a long time with the sick person.

3- Lowering one's gaze (whilst in his house).

4- Not asking the sick person too many questions.

5- Showing one's concern about the sick person.

6- Sincerely supplicating for the cure of the sick person. The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: “The one who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times: As'alu Allaah Al-'Atheem Rabbul 'Arsh Al-'Atheem an yashfiyaka (I beseech Allaah The Great, The Lord of the Great Throne, to heal you), except that Allaah will heal him from that sickness.” [Abu Daawood and At-Tirmithi].

7- To boast his morale by speaking good words to him, as it is reported that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said to a sick person: "It (your sickness) will be a purification from your sins, Allaah willing].” [Al-Bukhari]

8- Encouraging him to be patient as there is a great reward in being patient.

9- Warning him against being anxious and discontent, as one is sinful if he feels as such.

Allaah Knows best.

This issue of asking people to swear and pledge allegiance to a certain religion before commenting on topic on front page should stop with 2020

It's absolute rubbish for a topic to be pushed to front page then ban the audience from bearing their mind

Let Islamic thread remain solely in Islamic section of religion section if the general populace opinion is not needed on the matter, anyone that carry himself down to that section will have no complain if they ask him to swear with his life

Afterall same thing is done with sexuality section, you swear you are an adult and no one bring topic from there to front page, same thing should be done to Islamic thread or the swearing should be removed for topic coming to fp

There would have been no need to ask anyone to swear if you guys hadn't resorted to using uncouth language about the prophet and anything associated with islam. Kudos to the moderators for the policy. Not one person out of 1.2 billion muslims on earth will ever insult Jesus. Others should learn decorum from muslims.

My brother don't mind them. They always like to play the victim whenever possible. If declaration of one's religion is now a prerequisite to enter a thread, then the same should apply to all other groups. I dont know why they always feel like they have sole right to be protected.
