Social Etiquette in Islam is a practical and spiritually enriching course that explores the timeless principles of Islamic manners (adab) as presented by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah in Min Adab al-Islam. Drawing on the beautiful Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, the course guides students through everyday tasks—from simple actions like opening a door to meaningful interactions such as conversing and socializing—emphasizing that every act can reflect one’s character and faith.

Through this course, students will learn the Sunnahs related to personal conduct, social gatherings, and interactions in both private and public settings. Key topics include personal appearance, entering and leaving the home, visiting and hosting, conversation etiquette, table manners, and the etiquette surrounding weddings. The course also encourages self-reflection, helping students recognize areas for improvement and understand the wisdom behind Islamic etiquette.

By integrating these teachings, students will not only refine their behavior and strengthen their relationships but also cultivate a life marked by gentleness, respect, and spiritual mindfulness.
