Refining Character through Qur’anic Ethics & Prophetic Manners

This course explores the foundations of character development through selected Ahadith from Sunan Abu Dawood, specifically Kitab al-Adab (The Book of Manners), alongside relevant Qur’anic guidance from Surah Hujurat, which provides essential principles on social conduct and improving character.

Through guided discussions, reflective exercises, and supplementary readings, participants will connect classical Islamic teachings with real-life situations, enabling meaningful personal and social transformation. The course will also review contemporary scientific and academic research from behavioral sciences, Islamic sciences and professional ethics to better understand foundations and the process of improvement of ethics and moral behavior.

• Learn key character traits taught in the Ahadith (Kitab ul Adab from Sunan Abu Dawood) and the Qur’an (selected verses)
