"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.
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.
Adab is a concept situated at the heart of Arabic and Islamic civilization. What became of it, towards modernity? The question of the civilising process (Norbert Elias) helps us reflect on this story.
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.

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.

This volume explores the relation between ethics and spirituality in Islam through an examination of the genres of Sufi adab, including manuals and hagiographical accounts, from the formative period of Sufism until modernity.
Islam is a practical religion dealing with the warring traits of human nature and bending them to the Straight Path. It has discarded the law of jungle and the motto of might is right. Islamic concept of justice is positive. It does not stop at negation of the wrong but goes forward to promote the right, so that there remains no incompatibility between the so-called justice and what is really just and equitable. The concept of Islamic justice does not permit prejudice against anyone. The Quranic Injunction is: "...and let not the hatred of any people seduce you that ye deal not justly...." [TMQ Surah Maidah: 8] Under Islam, justice is the sum total of life. To do injustice is sinful. To suff...
