Manners (Adab) Come Before Knowledge (Ilm) (Class 1)

Imam Adam Anwar of Qalam Institute introduces a weekly series on Islamic manners (adab), based off of the book Islamic Manners by Shaykh ʿAbd al-Fattāḥ Abū Ghuddah, emphasizing that good character is an essential part of practicing Islam and should be reflected in how we treat Allah, ourselves, and others. It highlights practical etiquette—such as being presentable, respectful, considerate of others’ cultures, and kind in everyday interactions—and argues that manners often communicate Islam more powerfully than words or outward religious practice.
