Adab First, Qur’an Always. Good manners are the gateway to truly living the words of Allah. That’s why, in every Qur’an lesson, we weave in the Prophetic virtues of respect, kindness, and humility—helping students embody the verse, “And indeed, you are of an exalted character” (Q 68:4). By pairing proper recitation with adab, we nurture hearts as well as tongues, ensuring the Qur’an shapes not only how we read, but how we live and treat others every day.
