EXCERPTS FROM: LESSONS ON ISLAMIC LESSONS ON ISLAMIC CONCEPT OF ADABCONCEPT OF ADABBy: Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj IsmailBy: Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail

TASAWWUR ISLAM



Among the most glaring weakness of Muslims being exposed to

contemporary “secular-materialist-liberal” post-modernist era is the

confusion in knowledge and loss of ADAB.

And the topic of ADAB is rarely emphasized today in Muslims’

education, whereas the Western, secular, atheistic, materialistic, profit-

driven motivational model are seen as the norm, etc. the impact upon

human loosing their primordial identity (what as Muslims we understand

as FITwRAH) is indeed critically grave.

Even if Muslims recognize this, their vague understanding of what ADAB

means and entail, need to be corrected.


“ …. it is very much related to the Islamic concept of Education - for

ADAB is recognition and acknowledgement of the Reality, and knowing

of one’s place in the order of things; capable of putting the right thing

in their rightful place, in their rightful manner; rendering just due to

whomsoever has the right, and in our acquisition of rightful things to

be in accordance with the right proportion and under the right

circumstance …. It is very closely related to the Islamic concept of

al-’Adl (the justice)*, the upholding of which leads to TAQWA (the

consciousness of Allah)”

* Including al-QISTw –higher form of justice (tampered with IHSAN)

ASSIGNMENT


“O you who have attained to faith! Partake of the good things

which We have provided for you as sustenance, and render

thanks unto Allah, if it is [truly] Him that you worship.”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 172)


We in Nusantara, as non-Mujtahid, are already taught to (TAQLEED) adhere in

FIQH matters to the Islamic jurisprudential-legal school of SHAFI’-IE Madzhab

and the Fatwas of succeeding scholars, Mufti etc.. Yet, there may be issues

(although few) especially in our contemporary time, which may present to us

different rulings and views (IKHTILAF) from other MADZAAHIB.

Our exercise here is to learn and understand some of the basis and principle

of jurisprudence used, which should make us be respectful of differences

among the MADZAAHIB , to remove confusion and avert contentious

disputations which may lead to dissension - disunity in the UMMAH.

general address here, and similarly [the consumption of] what follows, [all

[prescriptions of] the Law; to this the Sunna adds [as also constituting

by a fall, or gored to death, or savaged by a beast of prey, save that

which you [yourselves] may have slaughtered while it was still alive;

“This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the

and your food is lawful for them.”

(Qur’an: Maa-idah: 5: 5)


Yet whoever is constrained, forced by dire need to eat of the above-

mentioned, not desiring, to rebel against Muslims, nor transgressing,

committing aggression against them by waylaying them, no sin shall be on

him, for eating it.

Allah is Forgiving, to His friends, Merciful, to those who are obedient to Him,

for He has granted them wide berth in this matter.

The aggressor and the transgressor are excluded from this [dispensation],

and to these two [categories] one should also add every person that sets out

on a journey in disobedience, such as the fugitive or the excise collector, for

whom it would be unlawful to eat any of the mentioned, unless they repent

[of their disobedience]; this is the opinion of al-Shāfi‘ī.Tafsir al-Jalalayn
