The Adab of Keeping Ties
- Purify the intention. Keep your ties seeking Allah's face and reward.
- Begin with the nearest kin. The mother, then the father, then the closest and the closest.
- Reach out to whoever cut you off. The one who truly keeps ties is not the one who merely repays, but the one who reconnects after being cut off.
- Be consistent, even if little. The most beloved connection is the most constant, however small.
- Give them priority in kindness and charity. If they are in need, they have the first claim.
- Advise them gently. Enjoin good with softness and care.
- Bring them joy and hold back harm. A kind word is itself a form of keeping ties.
