RECAP PREVIOUS LESSON

LESSONS ON ISLAMIC ADABBy: Ustaz Zhulkeflee Hj Ismail


“To be as witnesses in attesting Tauhiid, we are commanded to

uphold Justice. By justice, we have the terms “qistw ” and

“‘adalah” with their profound significations quite different from

the English word “justice” generally understood.

Thus our understanding of Adab connotes this imperative

towards Justice, tampered with Ihsan and generosity.




Also defined as – “sense of proportion and knowledge

of their rightful place in the order of things, the

absence of which indicates injustice (zulm).”




“OUR RELATIONSHIPS”




In our existence, we have to be mindful of our life and

all our responsibilities and commitment which we are

commanded to bind ourselves to, or have taken upon

ourselves towards those whom we have covenanted

(made contract / agreement) with.

Placing them in their rightful place, fulfilling or giving

them their just due.




“And interact with people in the best manner And interact with people in the best manner

of disposition (i.e. adopt a noble character).”of disposition (i.e. adopt a noble character).”

(Hadith reported by at-Tabrani)

In interacting with people, our Prophet s.a.w. commands us to

adopt the best manner in our disposition, which when applied

would require knowledge with “Adab.”
