Some people consider performing wudu (ablution) while standing to be Makruh (disliked), whereas the correct view is that performing wudu while standing is not Makruh, rather it is contrary to etiquette (Adab). This is because the respected jurists (Fuqaha) have counted performing wudu while sitting on an elevated place among the etiquettes of wudu, and going against etiquette does not necessitate it being Makruh. (Aham Masail / Vol: 5 / Pg: 67)
The Lethal Power of a Broken Promise
A man had been sleeping comfortably through many nights of severe cold. One day, a passerby walked past him and said: "I will bring you a warm quilt!" The passerby went on his way towards his destination and forgot his promise to bring the quilt. The old man died from the cold while waiting for him. People found a written note near his body, on which these words were inscribed: "Before your arrival, I endured the cold for many nights because I had no other support. But your words gave me a glimmer of hope and made it my support, and by pinning my hopes on you, I lost my inner strength. Consequently... the cold killed me." ................ Always fulfill your words and promises. And when you speak, choose your words carefully. If your hope can give someone comfort and support, it can also shatter them completely.
