Etiquette of the learner is a work extracted from Qadi Ibn Jama’ah’s major contribution to the literature of: Tadhkirat as-Sami -Mutakallim fi Adab al-'Alim -Muta'allim (A Memorandum to the Listener and the Speaker on the Etiquette of the Scholar and the Learner).
Through it, he provided a detailed guide for both students and teachers to follow in order to bring their endeavours in line with the example depicted in the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Whether they are embarking upon the rigorous quest in pursuit of command of the Islamic sciences, or simply seeking to enhance their understanding of the religion, this work will impress upon readers the indispensable but oft-forgotten principle: etiquette comes before seeking knowledge, thus enabling them to benefit from their studies truly.
This abridged version of the text is aimed specifically at students of knowledge, focusing on the etiquette required for one to excel.
