This book is a new translation of Imam al-Ghazali's Adab fi al-Din, a concise yet thorough guide to proper Islamic conduct and character in various life situations. While numerous works discuss adab - translated here as "etiquette and manners" - this text stands out for its practical approach, structured in the manner of a handbook for quick and easy reference when the need appears.

The core of the book is a sort of practical manual of adab and includes sections on such everyday issues as:

• The Adab of the Scholar, Student, Reciter of the Qur'an, Muhaddith, Khatib, and many other roles related to worship and seeking knowledge
• Adab of fasting, eating, drinking, giving and receiving charity, giving and receiving gifts, and of being wealthy or poor
• Adab of sleep, waking, being in public and in social gatherings, and other ordinary life situations
• Adab of husbands and wives, parents and children, and other relationships
• Adab of some common professions
