About This Book:
This book is a translation of Ibn 'Aqil al-Hanbali's (d. 513/1119) essay on Islamic manners, Fusül al-ādāb wa makārim al-akhlāq al-mashrū'a. It presents a significant number of commendable etiquettes Muslims are required to observe for everyday living and dealings. Ibn 'Aqil's essay is considered to be the shortest, and the earliest extant work from the Hanbali 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.
