W
e need to show adab (etiquettes) to all
the signs of Allah , and all those things
which have a connection with Him. Examples
of the signs would be The Quran, the Messenger
of Allah etc.
Allah says in The Quran,
َ َو َمن ُي َعظم ش َعا� الل َفإ نَّ�ا ِمن َت ْق
َ ِ َّ َ ِ ِّ ْ َ ئ
وى
ِ ُ ْ
ُ
القلوب
ِ
“Whoever does adab of the signs of Allah it is
because of taqwa in their hearts.” (22:32)
One of the ways to show taqwa(to abstain from
sins) is to do the proper adab of the signs of
Allah and whoever does not do the adab of
the signs of Allah and he feels that he is a
person of taqwa, his claim is wrong.
Adab of the Quran
It is the book of Allah and He has mentioned
the adab of the Quran in His book. The first
adab is:
َ ُ ْ َّ ُّ َ َّ
ل َي�س ُه ِإل الط َّه ُرون
“Nobody touches this Quran except the people who
are pure.”(56:79)
NISBAH 86
If someone wants to touch Quran, the adab is
that they have to be in a state of complete purity,
from minor impurity and major impurity.
Somebody told Sayyiduna Umar bin
Al-Khattab that your sister has accepted
Islam. When he found her, she was reciting the
Quran. She had written it on something, and
when he wanted to see it, Sayyidah Fatima said
‘Go and take a bath first because you are impure.
Purify yourself and only then, am I going to give
you this.’
All four Imams have agreed upon this, that to
touch the Quran, it is necessary to be free of all
sorts of minor and major impurity.
Adab of The Kabah
(House of Allah )
It is a place about which Allah has said that
this is His house. He ordered Ibrahim and
Ismail u,
َ
ِّ َ
َأن ط َرا َب ْي ِ ت ي
�
“That they purify My House.” (2:125)
He is saying this is my house; just imagine what
sort of importance this place has. The worst lack
of adab, people can show to the house of Allah
