Character and Morals
Introduction
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds,
and peace and blessings be upon His last
Messenger, Prophet Muhammad, and on his family
and his companions.
This book, Character and Morals, is the
thirteenth volume of a series of authoritative
Islamic books entitled Islam: Questions And
Answers. The overall series discusses issues
relevant to Islam, and present accurate and
reliable information based on the true beliefs
and practices of the Prophet (Peace and
Blessings of Allaah be upon Him) and his
companions. The objectives of the various books
include:
to teach and familiarize Muslims with various
aspects of their religion
to be a source for guiding people to Islam
to assist in solving the social and personal
problems of the Muslims in an Islamic context
The books are directed towards Muslims and
non-Muslims alike. Subject areas include, but
are not limited to, Islamic fiqh and
jurisprudence, Islamic history, Islamic social
laws (including marriage, divorce, contracts,
and inheritance), Islamic finance, basic tenets
and aqeedah of the Islamic faith and tawheed,
and Arabic grammar as it relates to the Qur'an
and Islamic texts.
The books are compilations of questions and
responses about Islam, from both Muslims and
Non-Muslims. The responses are handled mainly by
internationally re-nowned Islamic shaykhs and
scholars, including Shaykh al-Islam Ibn
Taymiyah, Ibn Katheer, al-Albaani, Shaykh Ibn
Baaz, Ibn al-Jawzi, Ibn al-Qayyim, Al-`Izz ibn
`Abd al-Salaam, al-Nawawi, Shaykh `Abd
al-Kareem, al Khudayr, Al-Dhahabi, al-Qurtubi,
Al-Sindi, al-Shawkaani and al-Bastawi using only
authentic, scholarly sources based on the Qur'an
and sunnah. References, which include Haashiyat
Ibn Maajah, Sharh Saheeh Muslim, Fataawa
al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth
al-Da'eefah, Al-Mawsoo'ah fi Ahaadeeth al-Mahdi
al-Da'eefah wa'l-Mawdoo'ah, Al-Manaar al-Muneef
and Fataawa Islamiyyah, are provided where
appropriate in the responses. The book provides
the reader with cross references of other
pertinent responses not necessarily in the same
volume, but also in other volumes of the series.
However, each volume is complete in itself. The
book records accurately the answers the
contributing Sheikhs and scholars gave to the
questions put to them. These are not necessarily
the answers which other sheikhs and scholars
would have given. Depending on circumstances,
for example, Islam permits different solutions
to some questions
The book also provides the reader with
cross-references to other pertinent responses
not necessarily in the same volume, but also in
other volumes of the series. However, each
volume is complete in itself.
It is intended that this present series of
Books will cover the following subject areas
(insha-Allah):
Aqeedah (Basic Tenets of Faith); Usool
ul-Fiqh (Science of evidence that serve as basis
for Fiqh), Fiqh (Jurisprudence and Islamic
Rulings), Da'wah (Inviting others to Islam),
Aadaab (Manners), Akhlaaq (Character and
Morals), Tareekh wa ul Seerah (Islamic history
and biography), Tarbiyyah (Pedagogy, education,
and upbringing) and Mashakil Nafsiyah wa
Ijtimaa'yah (Psychological & Social
Problems).
May Allah reward the owners and maintainers
of www.islam-qa.com for granting me full,
exclusive, assignable and transferable rights to
use and display all the questions and answers
needed for the compilation of these books. May
Allah grant everyone involved in the promotion
of this project good in this world and the
Hereafter and protection from the fire of hell.
