Islamic Ethics & Manners — اسلامی اخلاق و آداب

This course is taught in Urdu by DUNY faculty and draws on the chapter of mu'asharat — the etiquette that governs how a Muslim deals with the people closest to them.

Each session works through a numbered list of duties, grounded throughout in Quran and hadith, with the Arabic evidence cited and explained.

WHAT THE COURSE COVERS

Session 1 — آدابِ والدین: The Etiquette Owed to Parents Fourteen duties a child owes their parents. Obedience and the one limit the Shariah places on it, service, how you speak to them, spending, their relatives, seeking their pardon, the daily supplication, guarding the tongue — and what remains owed after they die, including isal-e-thawab, fidya for missed prayers and fasts, and settling their debts.

Session 2 — آدابِ اساتذہ و طلبہ: Between Teacher and Student The lesson runs in both directions. Fourteen duties a student owes their teacher, who is described as a spiritual parent — from rising to receive them to never backbiting them, and honouring them long after your student years end. Then fifteen duties a teacher owes their students: gentleness over harshness, correcting privately rather than publicly, equal treatment regardless of background, and saying "I do not know" rather than guessing.

Session 3 — ازدواجی زندگی کے آداب: The Etiquette of Married Life Both sides of the marriage, opening from the Quranic image of husband and wife as a garment for one another. Thirteen duties a wife owes her husband and nine a husband owes his wife — gentle speech, sharing the housework as a sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, moderation in spending, and correction that never wounds the other's dignity.

WHO IT IS FOR

Urdu-speaking students and DUNY alumni who want the practical adab of daily life set out clearly, with its evidence. No prior study is assumed.
