Moral Conduct and Authority
"The essays in this volume explore adab, the Muslim ideal of the harmonious life of a person who knows the proper relationship to God, to others, and to oneself, and who, as a result, plays a special role among his or her fellows."--Jacket.
L’adab, toujours recommencé
The notion of adab is at the very heart of the Islamicate cultures. Born in the crucible of the Arabic and Persian civilisations of the Late Antiquity period, nourished by Greek, Syriac and Indian influences, this polysemic notion could cover a variegated range of meanings, ranging from good behaviour, good manners, etiquette, proper knowledge of the rules, to belles-lettres, and finally, literature. This volume addresses the notion of adab through four perspectives, which correspond to the four parts into which it is divided: “Origins”; “Transmissions”; “Metamorphosis” of the “Origins” and finally “Origins” through the lens of modernity.
Morals and Manners in Islam
Morals and Manners in Islam is a brief yet comprehensive handbook for Muslims and those non-Muslims interested in acquiring a broad knowledge of the Muslim way of life. The book’s contents, derived mainly from the Qur’an and the Sunnah, the main sources of jurisprudence, are listed in points format.
Social Etiquette: Adab al-Mu'asharat
Social Etiquette (Adab al-Mu'asharat) by the erudite sub-continent scholar, Mawlana Ashraf Ali Thanawi (may Allah be pleased with him) is a brief treatise on on nurturing and perfecting our social conduct. The esteemed author presents anecdotes and practical examples from personal experience, critiquing scenarios and interactions that are often overlooked and seemingly harmless but contradict the spirit of Islam. Whilst this publication is an easy read, it calls for practical expression; to uplift the Islamic requirements in the domain of social life and interactions, to develop healthy communities and foster peace, harmony, love and cohesion. In order to make this translation accessible to the many millions of Muslims living in Western countries, examples (not in the original work) have been added in the footnotes discussing contemporary contexts relevant to our current times and places.
Adab and Modernity
Adab is a concept situated at the heart of Arabic and Islamic civilisation. Adab is etiquette, ethics, and literature. It is also a creative synthesis, a relationship within a configuration. What became of it, towards modernity ? The question of the "civilising process" (Norbert Elias) helps us reflect on this story. During the modern period, maintaining one's identity while entering into what was termed "civilisation" (al-tamaddun) soon became a leitmotiv. A debate on what was or what should be culture, ethics, and norms in Middle Eastern societies accompanied this evolution. The resilient notion of adab has been in competition with the Salafist focus on mores (akhlāq). Still, humanism, poetry, and transgression are constants in the history of adab.

MANNERS IN ISLAM (AL ADAB AL MUFRAD) [English-Arabic]
إن الإمام البخاري قد ضمن صحيحه كتابا للأدب وهو الكتاب الثامن والسبعون من صحيحه لكنه لم يكتف بذلك حتى أفرد للأدب كتابا مستقلا سماه : " الأدب المفرد " لأنه قد جعله مقصورا على موضوع الأدب دون غيره فجاء فريدا في نوعه، جامعا للآداب الإسلامية، فهو بحق موسوعة إسلامية في الآداب، جدير بكل مسلم أن يقتنيها لينتفع بما تحويه من كنوز نبوية شريفة وهذه طبعة مخرجة الاحاديث وعليها حواشي مهمة مترجما باللغة الانكليزية
