Today I’ll tell you how to be polite when receiving gifts, helping people, calling someone and when seeking permission to enter also when asking questions. Read this and you’ll be as polite as a princess.
When receiving gifts, it’s good to say thank you, or if you’re a muslim say ‘ Jazakallahu khairan’. The best way to do it is to say Jazakallah and smile to the person. Wait for her to give you the present, don’t just snatch it from her hands. Don’t just snatch and not say a word.
When helping people, be sincere. The best way is to be sincere and make sure the person we’re helping is okay and stay with the person until the problem is settled. Don’t just go away once you’ve helped her. For example, your friend was pushed over by a bully. You helped your friend to her feet. Then stay until the bully has said sorry to your friend. Make sure she’s fine then you can go.
When seeking permission to enter a house, ask politely and give salam if you’re asking a muslim. The best way to do this is to knock on the door and give salam. Then ask if you can enter. If there is no door then knock on a wall or anything to get attention. Don’t just barge into someone’s property. Even if it is your property, you still have to knock and give salam. For example, you just came home from work. You want to get inside, but first you knock, give salam and then enter.
When asking questions, ask politely. The best way to do it is to ask politely and ask important things only. Don’t ask things like ‘How much do you weigh?’ or ‘ How many times do you wash your hands in a day?’ When asking try to not hurt their feelings when asking about family problems or other relationships. For example, ‘ When did your great grandfather pass away?’ or ‘Why did your parents divorce?’. If you have hurt their feelings, then confort and reassure them.
When calling someone, call using a polite name. The best way to do it is to call politely and praise her. You can always just ask politely. Don’t call someone using an un-polite way. It can be very harsh and can hurt someones feeling or make the other people around you feel shocked. For example, you’re in your class and a girl wants to borrow something from you. She just says ‘ Hey, let me borrow your eraser,’. It could hurt your feelings and your other classmates would be shocked with her manners because she just said ‘hey’ and didn’t even say your name.
That’s all from me today. Bye.
