RECAP PREVIOUS LESSON
LESSONS ON ISLAMIC ADAB
By: 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 mannerAnd 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.”
