COURTESY

Courtesy means excellence of manners or polite behavior. It, of course, springs from good breeding and kindness of heart. A courteous man is pleasant and polite to everybody. He observes good manners on all occasions and always respects the feelings of others.
When people meet, they greet one another saying "good morning" or "good evening" according to the time of the day . Muslims greet one another, saying "ASSALAM-o-ALIAKUM," and they often ask about each other's health and well being. A Muslim greeting is a kind of wish, a prayers for mutual happiness, peace and security. The Holy Quran lays stress on this form of greeting in sura  Al-Noor verse 61.
                        If you know two persons who happen to be strangers, it is your duty to introduce them to each other. If both are men, you introduce the younger to the older: "Please meet my elder brother...…."
If both are women, but one married and the single. You introduce the latter to the former. If one is a man and the a woman, it goes without saying that you introduce the man to the woman, and not the other way round. You pronounce both names clearly if they are males, and the two persons shake hands, saying "How do you do?"
                                                                    Good manners demand that you make no attempt to jump the queue. In a crowded bus, if you are physically fit, you give up your seat to an elderly person or to someone who is blind, disabled or sick. You have to say "Thank you" to those who are good to you. Courtesy really everyday life more pleasant, more friendly and more meaningful.
