Praising a fellow Muslim is an act of goodwill that promotes love and harmony in mutual relationships. In fact, praising other people for their good traits and abilities is an act of kindness that should be encouraged in the cruel and harsh world of today. However, one must remember that there are conditions for praising a fellow Muslim. Along with the dua, make sure to avoid exaggeration or excessive praising that involves or leads to lying, and the praising of another one must also not be for a forbidden purpose, such as appreciating the beauty of a non-mahram woman.
When you are praising a fellow Muslim, make sure to be honest sincere, and do not praise a sinful or forbidden act, trait, or ability. Moreover, another dua to say when praising another Muslim is ‘’Allahumma barik.’’
Ibn Majah narrated the Prophet (ï·º) to have said: “If one of you sees something with his brother that he admires, let him pray for blessing (barakah) for him.” Therefore, upon praising someone, you can also say Allahumma barik as a gesture to pray for further blessings to be bestowed upon your fellow Muslim.
Good Etiquette Duas
The Prophet (SAW) said: "If any of you praises his companion then let him say: "I deem so-and-so (person's name) to be... And Allah is his Assessor and I don't praise anyone, putting it forward, in front of Allah's commendation, however I assume him so and so ...if he knows that of him".
As believers of Islam, it is important for us to remember Allah in everything we must say or do. The dua that signifies the etiquettes of praising one’s fellow Muslim emphasizes the power of Allah in blessing and providing a human being with every good thing that is worthy of praise. Therefore, when we praise a human being, we must emphasize the power of Allah, who provided the person with a good trait or ability.
