➜ JOIN WAITING LIST NOWDo You Fight Back or Spread Salam?
You’re scrolling through social media, relaxed on the sofa, when you notice that an elderly uncle has started trolling you, throwing insults under your post about a trivial issue.
Deep inside, you feel the heat of anger boiling up. Do you erupt and tell him how it is?
Let’s rephrase the question. Do you give in to Shaytan’s whispers and write back evil words that result in the displeasure of Allah ﷻ?
Or do you restrain yourself and follow Allah’s guidance:
“And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say peace.” [The Qur’an 25:63]
You are Defined by Your Character
In every situation of your life, every relationship in your life, when you approach it with upright, moral character such as compassion, honesty and fairness, then you’re able to build deep, meaningful connections with the people around you, achieving their love and the love of Allah ﷻ. However, when you approach it with the opposite, such as oppression, false promises and disrespect, then you’re left with unresolved conflicts, depression and the displeasure of Allah ﷻ. That begs the question, what are these righteous manners and etiquettes and - more importantly - how do we implement them to earn the love, respect and trust of others and make them feel understood, valued and comfortable around you - all in a way that’s pleasing to Allah ﷻ?
Bring Out the Best in You
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “I have been sent to perfect good character.” [Al-Muwatta, Sahih]
The Quran and Sunnah have laid down the clear guidelines of what good manners are and what they are not. You simply need to pick up these guidelines, understand and implement them to build better relationships, stronger communities and ultimately please Allah ﷻ.
Under the influence of social media and all the other complexities of the 21st century, it’s easy to get confused as to what constitutes backbiting and what doesn’t, when to refrain from articulating your thoughts and when not to.
We designed this course on Akhlaq & Adab to help you put Allah and His Messenger above your ego and nafs. It will inspire you to live your life with integrity as you learn practical steps relevant to 2021 and what it truly means to respect yourself and those around you.

‘Behind the Apartments’ book (physical copy) by Shaykh Ahmed Hammuda
As a student of the Akhlaq and Adab course, you will receive a free physical copy of this insightful book that will act as your notes for this course.*
‘Behind the Apartments’ extracts a handful of universal and vitalising Quranic insights, revealing the indivisible interdependency between ethics and Iman.
It does so by exploring Surah al-Hujurat, a chapter which in of itself is a masterclass in ethics, manners and realities. This engaging and thought-provoking commentary shows how internalising al-Hujurat’s ethics is the key to unlimited personal and societal benefit, extending to Muslims in their homes, local communities and to the Ummah at large.
