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”

(ta’rifat) that may have caused whatever misunderstandings.13

for ADAB is recognition and acknowledgement of the Reality, and

knowing of one’s place in the order of things; capable of putting

the right thing in their rightful place, in their rightful manner;

rendering just due to whomsoever has the right, and in our

acquisition of rightful things to be in accordance with the right
