Adab
Adab is an Islamic Manner that reflects on the moral, ethical and behavioral qualities of an
individual and the relationships with others. Adab reflects on recognition and acknowledgement
of the reality that knowledge and being are ordered hierarchically according to their various
grades and degrees of rank, and of one’s proper place in relation to that reality and to one’s
physical, intellectual and spiritual capacities and potentials 1 .
At Al-Hamra Integrated School, adab is emphasised as one of our educational goals to be
guided and influenced through the process of education in all aspects including curriculum, cocurricular
activities, methods of teaching, relationship between teacher, educator and student
and the relationship between the educational institution and society.
