Among the practices of the people of Sunnah is to be cautious in matters of food, drink, marriage, and to avoid major sins and abominations. They exhort one another to love for the sake of Allah, to avoid arguing and disputing over the fundamentals of religion, to keep away from the people of desires and misguidance, to shun them and to distance themselves from them.
They are committed to fulfilling agreements and trusts, to avoid injustices and dubious matters, to lower their gaze from doubtful and forbidden things, to restrain the self from desires, to refrain from bearing false witness and slandering chaste women, to hold back the tongue from backbiting, slander, and unnecessary talk, to suppress anger, to overlook the faults of brothers, to hasten in doing good deeds, to abstain from dubious matters, to maintain family ties, to help the weak and needy, to give sincere advice for the sake of Allah, to show compassion towards Allah's creation, to perform night prayers, especially for those who have memorized the Qur’ān, and to be prompt in performing the prayers.
