Islamic Manners

Etiquette holds an esteemed place in Islam. In Surah Taha, Allah Ta’ala instructed Musa (Alaihis Salaam) to adopt the correct etiquette when he arrived at the blessed valley of Tuwa. (Surah 20 Verse 12)

So important is its role that some Ulama have said, “Our entire Deen is based on etiquette.”

Passing on etiquette as insignificant generally leads to the abandoning of deeds that are sunnah, which leads to the discarding of a wajib (compulsory act) and so on.

Imam Abdullah ibn Mubarak (Rahimahullah) said, ” If I leave out a single etiquette of Islam, I fear that Allah will deprive me of all that He has bestowed me with.”

In this booklet, the honourable Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (Rahimahullah) has listed a few pertinent but often neglected Islamic manners. The manners of Islam are many and are therefore impossible to be encompassed in a brief booklet as this one. However, if the few that are mentioned in here are implemented, one could then endeavour to progress further, Insha Allah.
