What does the Quran Kareem say about manners:

The Qur’an places great importance on good manners and character, emphasizing kindness, humility, justice, patience, forgiveness, and respect for others. While it does not use the single word “manners” (آداب, adab) often, it repeatedly instructs believers to act with good conduct in every aspect of life.

Here are some key Qur’anic teachings on manners:

 1. Speak kindly and respectfully

 “And speak to people good [words]…”

 Surah Al-Baqarah (2:83)

 “And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah].”

— Surah Ta-Ha (20:44)

The Qur’an urges believers to use polite, kind, and wise words—even when speaking to those who oppose them.

 2. Be humble, not arrogant

 “And do not walk upon the earth arrogantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.”

— Surah Al-Isra (17:37)

 “And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace.”

— Surah Al-Furqan (25:63)

 Humility and calmness are signs of a true believer.

 3. Show kindness to parents and others

 “And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents…”

 Surah Al-Isra (17:23)

 “Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbor, the neighbor farther away, the companion at your side, the traveler, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are arrogant and boastful.”

— Surah An-Nisa (4:36)

 The Qur’an stresses kindness, generosity, and good treatment toward everyone.

 4. Be just and fair

> “Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice…”

— Surah An-Nisa (4:58)

 “O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives…”

 Surah An-Nisa (4:135)

 Justice and honesty are central to good manners in Islam.

5. Forgive and control anger

“Those who spend [in charity] in prosperity and adversity, who restrain anger and pardon people — and Allah loves the doers of good.”

 Surah Aal-Imran (3:134)

 Controlling one’s temper and forgiving others are hallmarks of noble character.

 6. Avoid bad manners such as mockery, backbiting, or suspicion

 “O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people... nor defame one another, nor insult one another by [offensive] nicknames...”

 Surah Al-Hujurat (49:11)

 “And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it!”

— Surah Al-Hujurat (49:12)

These verses set a moral code of social respect and dignity.

The Qur’an teaches that good manners are a reflection of true faith. Manners are not just social niceties—they are acts of worship and signs of sincerity toward Allah.
