What is Adab in Islam
Adab means etiquette, good manners and good behavior. It is the external manifestation of our internal faith. The Quran and Sunnah are full of teachings on adab. This is why Muslim parents must teach adab deliberately and progressively. Adab is not just superficial politeness, but deep respect for oneself, others and Allah. A child with solid adab becomes an adult of character and positive influence.
