Speech and Silence Manners

Abstract

The etiquette is one of the Islamic teachings. The speech manner is very important. The speaking in Islam can be investigated from two aspects: content and form of speech. The first roots in knowledge, insight, and ideas of speaker and the latter roots in his/her decorum. The Islamic speaking manners include how to talk to God, religious leaders (especially the Prophet and the Ahlul-Bayt), parents, teachers, and public.
