Ten Adab of Seekers of Knowledge

February 2, 2018 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

Recently, I’ve been taking an interest in learning about manners that every person, Muslim or Non-Muslim should adopt.

What piqued my interest in this area was my interest in the topic of Tazkiyyah, which I have been interested in for a number of years.

Not only is it an imperative to familiarise oneself with all the rules of grammar, but to be able to apply them into real literature and produce one’s own prose is of more importance. Therefore, it would not be incorrect to say the ability to read Arabic poetry and prose without diacritical marks is a skill acquired, not a science studied.
