Etiquettes of Social Interactions

About this lecture

In this lecture on *Surat al-Hujurat* (Chapter 49), the speaker walks through the four core etiquettes outlined in the surah: with Allah, with the Prophet ﷺ, and — most extensively — within the Muslim community itself. Key themes include verifying news before spreading it, avoiding backbiting, suspicion, mockery, and spying, and understanding that true honor lies in *taqwa* (God-consciousness) alone. The lecture closes with a lively Q&A covering practical questions about backbiting, slander, and the compilation of the Quran.
