The role of Adab al-Islam in social relationship

The aim of ‘’Adab al-Islam’’ to help in establishing and maintaning healthy social relationship.

2 What is required of muslims toward each other is mutual responsibility and positive assistance.

3 Muslims are encouraged to meet each other-strengthen social bonds and defends the individual against the psychological consequences of social isolation.

4 Acceptance of any invitation and holding feasts- will make social ties stronger between members of a community irrespective of social status..


5 Social relations should be quite free of personal interest and engaged in wholly for the sake of God.

6 Social life is encouraged at a wider level-like performing congregational prayer in the mosque.

7 Personal cleanliness is an important factor when communicating with others..


Moral Crisis Among Muslims

1)Muslims are meant to be the role models of akhlaq for other people

2)They were made by Allah to be the best ummah (aali

Imran:110) 3)Unfortunately, some of them are not playing the

role. 4)They are facing moral crisis such as drug addict,

illegitimate children, disciplinary problems in schools, divorces e.c.t


The crisis actually happened because of several factors:

a) Some muslims do not understand the teaching of Islam(lack of knowledge)

b) Neglecting the responsibilities as Khalifah on this earth.

c) Drowning in world of amusement and entertainment

Whatever matters, every muslim must continue playing his role in propagating Islam to non -muslim


On the authority of Abu Said al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) , who said: I heard the messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h) say:

Whosoever of you sees an evil action , let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue, and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart..and that is the weakest of faith….(related by Muslim

some loss in goods or lves of fruits of your toil, but give glad tidings to those who patiently perserve, who say when afflicted with a calamity: to God we belong, and to Him is our return’ al-Baqarah 155-156:


The reasons are: First diseases are part of God’s pre destination (Qadar) for a patient and to seek treatment is reversing one qadar with another qadar.Secondly, illness may prove useful for the patient as an opportunity to reflect and remember God.
