-Key Objectives for Taaruf

Introduce the university’s mission, vision, and culture.

Build friendships, teamwork, and sense of belonging.

Strengthen Islamic values, discipline, and adab.

1. Definition of Adab

Root word: أدب – to refine, educate, discipline.

Meaning: manners, etiquette, conduct, refinement, morals, good breeding, and proper behavior.

In Islam, Adab refers to good manners and appropriate actions based on Islamic teachings.

It is both a quality and a process that can be learned and established.

Imam Ibnul Qayyim: Adab reflects good character (akhlak) in both speech and actions.

2. Adab vs. Akhlāq

Akhlaq = moral philosophy (the “why” behind actions).

Adab = practical manners (the “how” of actions).

Adab is the practice of proper or improper behavior, while akhlaq explains the reasons behind it.

3. Adab with Parents (based on Surah Maryam 19:41–50)

Example: Prophet Ibrahim A.S. with his father.

Key lessons:

Address parents with respect and love (“Yā Abatī” – O my father).

Invite them gently to truth without insulting or belittling.

Avoid harsh words (e.g., infidel, sinner).

Share knowledge humbly without arrogance.

Advise against following Satan and warn of Allah’s punishment.

Maintain respect even when rejected or threatened.

4. Ibrahim A.S.’s Response to His Father

Despite threats, he responded with peace and promised to pray for his father’s forgiveness.

Chose to separate peacefully and rely on Allah.

Allah rewarded him with a better family (Isaac, Jacob – both Prophets).

5. Core Message

All prophets were sent to every nation with the same fundamental message of Al-Tawhid (worshipping Allah alone). Believers must accept and make no distinction between any of the messengers. Disbelieving in one messenger's message is considered disbelief in all of them.

* Clarify the purpose of life (worshipping God).

* Show the path to Paradise and salvation.

* Establish proof against humanity for the Day of Judgment.
