This work, entitled Etiquette of the Learner, is extracted from Qāḍī Ibn Jamāʿah's major contribution to the literature of adab: Tadhkirat as-Sāmiʿ wa'l-Mutakallim fī Adab al-ʿĀlim wa'l-Mutaʿallim (A Memorandum to the Listener and the Speaker on the Etiquette of the Scholar and the Learner). It provides a detailed guide for students of knowledge to the attitude and practice they should cultivate in order to bring their endeavour in line with the instructions and example of 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 truly benefit from their studies.
