Ibn Aqil al-Hanbali's Essay on Islamic Manners
DESCRIPTION:
Fuṣul al-Adab wa Makarim al-Akhlaq al-Mashruʿah
This book is a translation of Ibn ʿAqīl al-Ḥanbalī’s (d. 513/1119) essay on Islamic manners, Fuṣul al-Adab wa Makarim al-Akhlaq al-Mashruʿah. It presents a significant number of commendable etiquettes Muslims are required to observe for everyday living and dealings. Ibn ʿAqīl’s essay is considered to be the shortest, and the earliest extant work from the Ḥanbali school on Islamic manners.
The language employed in the translation has been kept simple, straightforward, and modern to make the work accessible to everyone. This bilingual edition, with its parallel Arabic text, will allow readers to access the original Arabic and hopefully help with vocabulary building, oracy, and future translations. In Islam, good manners (ādāb) are required and admired; and it’s developed through study and practice. It is hoped the translation, Ibn ‘Aqil al-Hanbali’s Essay on Islamic Manners becomes a means to refine manners better.
