The spiritual and moral state of the believer constantly needs to be refined and re-evaluated by every believer. The Prophetic model for self-reform and rectification is the only way to achieve such positive change and development. His statements and actions serve as a role model for humanity to achieve such spiritual & moral bliss.
This course will be based upon the classical work, Bulugh al Maram by Ibn Hajar al ‘Asqalani (a collection of prophetic statements) from the section: Kitaab al Jaami’ (The Comprehensive Book) and will deal with the following topics: Good Character, Joining the Ties of Kinship, Asceticism & Piety, Good Manners, Bad Manners, Remembrance of Allah and Supplications.
In this course you will learn the following:
- What did the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم mean when he said he was given 'comprehensive speech'?
- Why are good manners essential to being a believer?
- What are the dimensions of good manners in one's life?
- Is it permissable to greet a non-Muslim with Salam?
- Why is dragging one's clothes considered a sign of arrogance?

Biography of the Author:
Imam Al Hafiz Abul Fadl Shihabuddin Ahmad Ibn Ali Ibn Muhammad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al Kinani Al Asqalani Ash Shafi'ee, best known as Al Hafiz Ibn Hajar Al Asqalani. He was born on the 10th of Sha'baan in the year 773 A.H. in Egypt.
As was the custom of the scholars, he memorised the Qur'an at a very young age before going on to studying other subjects in the Islamic sciences and memorising key texts. He was most interested in the science of Hadith and so occupied himself with this by studying with the greatest scholars of his era, until he became a Hafiz of Hadith and Muhaddith in his own right.
He authored many books in various fields, most notably his compendious explanation of Sahih Al Bukhari, 'Fat-hul Bari', a work unsurpassed and utilised by every scholar of note to this day.
He died in the year 852 A.H. All who knew him, were well versed with his piety, good manners, vast knowledge and humility. May Allah shower him with his blessings.

"I have been studying at Tayyibun Institute since 2008 and last year I moved to Saudi Arabia. Although I was very happy, I soon realized that I could not seek knowledge without first learning the Arabic Language. Whilst learning Arabic I also wanted to seek Islamic knowledge. I saw some online courses but felt that it would not be as good as Tayyibun Institute, so I was very happy when I found out that they have online courses. Even though one might think that their online courses are not as good as the centre, it turned out to be better than going to the centre, not only because I live in Saudi Arabia but mainly because you will be able to study in your own time. From what I have experienced I can say that the courses at Tayyibun Institute (and online) are very much practical. Jazaahum'Allahu Khairan"
