ABOUT THE BOOK

The Book of Manners (originally Al-Adab al-Islami) by Fuad Ibn Abdul Azeez Ash-Shulhoob is a popular and highly practical guide that distills the essence of Islamic etiquette and social conduct. In Islam, Adab (manners) is considered an inseparable half of the religion, and this book serves as a roadmap for embodying the character of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It covers a vast array of daily situations—from the etiquette of eating, sleeping, and dressing to the more complex nuances of visiting the sick, honoring parents, and the rights of neighbors.

What makes this work particularly accessible is its organization. The author backs every point with authentic evidence from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, providing the reader with a clear understanding of the "why" behind various Islamic traditions. It isn't just a list of "dos and don'ts"; it is a manual for developing a refined, compassionate, and disciplined personality. Whether it's the ethics of speech (avoiding backbiting and lying) or the manners of the mosque, Ash-Shulhoob presents the information in a concise, structured format that is easy for both adults and children to follow.
