..Salam..
Without knowing, there are many rights that muslims should be aware of in treating our sisters and brothers. Sometimes, there are rights that we are unaware of.
Sometimes, unintentionally we have hurt our sisters. Oh, we have made them sad which we are not supposed to.
Hopefully, this guidelines will help us in becoming the pious young muslims.
Let us together try to practice hard all of these in our daily life for the sake of mardhatillah..
Haa!! Jangan lari2 yee. Stay there untill you have finished reading n remembering these..
Happy digesting =)~
