Etiquette with the Quran

About this book

Etiquette with the Quran is a translation of Imam an-Nawawi's at-Tibyan fi Adab Hamalat al-Qur'an, a short classical work on how a Muslim should relate to the Book of Allah.

An-Nawawi gathers verses, hadith and the sayings of the early Muslims on the virtues of reciting and teaching the Quran, the manners of the teacher and the student, how to recite (purification, facing the qiblah, reflecting, crying), memorising and reviewing, completing the Quran, and how to respect and handle the mushaf. He also addresses practical questions such as reciting while walking or lying down.

Musa Furber's translation is clear and accessible, and the book is short enough to read in an afternoon.
