With the “loss of Adab”, even the knowledge of who the

true leaders and scholars is lost, and the confusion compounded.

Actually this confusion in knowledge can be corrected

through Education ,

Yet, education in man cannot be truly done without his

having basic “Adab” itself.

Thus the importance of restoring the “Adab” in every

Muslim.

It may even have to begin by correcting their misuse of

“terms” (istilah) and clarifying wrongly assumed “definition”

Tarbiyyah ( ) – although used by many Islamist

to refer to education (perhaps influenced by the Western

methodology), it’s use to refer to ‘education’ is not appropriate

due to its narrow and limited scope when applied to the Islamic

approach to education, because our Islamic worldview regarding

man is unlike those from the Western outlook that still regards

man as an animal specie (although evolved).

Thus,“ Adab” in the original basic sense (in Arabic) is the “inviting to

a banquet.”

The idea of a banquet implies the host is a man of honour and

prestige, and that many people are present; that the people who

are present are those who in the host’s estimation are deserving of

the honour of the invitation, and they are therefore people of

refined qualities and upbringing who are expected to behave as

befits their station, in speech, conduct and etiquette.” [1]
