Etiquettes of the Muslims

Introduction

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Beloved Brothers,

In the coming days, we shall, Allāh willing, put together some of the most important Akhlāq of the Muslim that we may fall in the band of those who encourage and in the category of people who exhort to patience and constancy in these morally bankrupt days of ours…

We ask Allāh His Tawfīq, His Sadād and Constancy, āmīn.

This installment shall be in 45 places, inshā Allāh, into 7 places:

1. The Foundation of Akhlāq – Niyyah and Taqwah
2. Personal Conduct and Self Discipline
3. Daily Routines and Private Life
4. Family and Kinship
5. Social Relations and Community
6. Public Life, Transactions and places of ‘Ibādah
7. Completion

We have relied on the works of the Salaf, and the Torchbearers of Guidance, taking copiously from several authorships. Of them, we have relied heavily on the master piece of Imām Abū Bakr Al-Kharā’itī (d. 327H) and adopted the methodology of Imām Ibn Abī Ad-Dunyā (281 AH) in his many books on Ādāb such as “Kitābu Al-Ādāb” and that of Al-Khatīb al-Baghdādī in Al-Jāmiʿ li-Akhlāq al-Rāwī wa Ādāb al-Sāmiʿ
(The Comprehensive Collection on the Ethics of the Narrator and the Manners of the Listener)

We ask Allāh for an abundance of His Guidance, a penetrating Light that shows us the way and a thorough insight that guides us amidst confusion, āmīn

Bārakallāhu Fīkum
