#manners The scholars of the past were, when young, told to learn manners from their teachers before they learnt knowledge. Abdullah ibn Mubarak (RA) said “We are in more need of little manners than more knowledge”. The religion of Islam has rules of etiquette and a moral code involving every aspect of life, and are applicable to society as a whole, regardless of age and gender. There is a difference between correct manners in Islam and the customs and traditions that people follow. There is a difference between etiquettes and manners: etiquettes – these are superficial, they belong to a certain position a person holds in society, and they promote inequality… how? they reinforce your place in society, and that affects the behaviour you portray to the person in question; e.g. a person’s etiquettes towards the rich are different to his etiquettes towards the poor… etiquettes do not necessitate respect, but necessitate a certain behaviour. manners – these are deep, they belong to everybody, and they promote equality… how? you behave with everyone in a certain way, in a good way, irrespective of their position in society AND THIS IS ISLAM.
