Adab, in the context of behavior, refers to prescribed Islamic etiquette: "refinement, good manners, morals, decorum, decency, humaneness". While interpretation of the scope and particulars of Adab may vary among different cultures, common among these interpretations is regard for personal standing through the observation of certain codes of behavior. To exhibit Adab would be to show "proper discrimination of correct order, behavior, and taste."
Islam has rules of etiquette and an ethical code involving every aspect of life. Muslims refer to Adab as good manners, courtesy, respect, and appropriateness, covering acts such as entering or exiting a washroom, posture when sitting, and cleansing oneself. According to Sahih Bukhari, Muhammad refrained from bad language; neither a 'Fahish nor a Mutafahish. He used to say "The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character."

Abadin Tadia Tjoessoep (1626–1699), more commonly known as Sheikh Yusuf, was an Indonesian muslim of noble descent. In 1693 he was exiled to the Cape of Good Hope which resulted in his establishing Islam in the Cape.
Yusuf was born in Makassar, Indonesia, the nephew of King Biset of Gowa. In 1644 he embarked on the Hajj to Mecca and spent several years in Arabia learning under various pious scholars. During this period the Dutch and British East India Companies were fighting for control of the region due to its lucrative trade in spices and gold. When Yusuf left Arabia in 1664, Makassar had been captured by the Dutch, and he was unable to return home. Instead, he headed for Bantam on the island of Java, where he was welcomed by Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa. Ageng gave Yusuf the hand of one of his daughters in marriage, and made him his chief religious judge and personal advisor. Yusuf stayed in Bantam for 16 years until 1680, when Ageng's son, Pangeran Hajji, rose against his father, possibly at the urgings of the Dutch East India Company. Ageng rallied his forces, including Yusuf, and in 1683 besieged Hajji in his fortress at Soerdesoeang. Ageng was defeated but managed to escape capture, along with an entourage of about 5,000, among them the 57-year-old Yusuf. Ageng was captured later that year but Yusuf managed to escape a second time and continued the resistance.
Yusuf Estes (born in 1944) is an American Muslim preacher and teacher who converted from Christianity to Islam in 1991.

Active in Islamic missionary work in the United States, Estes is often featured as guest presenter and keynote speaker at various Islamic events as well as frequently appearing on various Islamic satellite TV channels. Estes takes a dim view of today's public school system in the United States for any children, and highly recommends schools where they might receive a religious education combined with more advanced scholastic education.
Yusuf Estes was born in Ohio, and was raised in Houston, Texas in a Anglo-Saxon Protestant family. From 1962 to 1990, his career was in the music, entertainment and marketing fields. He also taught music and served as a music minister. He owned several musical instrument companies including the Estes Piano and Organ Company. He produced and directed live entertainment programs in the United States from the mid 1960s until his last endeavor for cable TV in Florida, entitled 'Estes Music Jamboree'.
When I look at my strange behavior
Well I think I understand
Why those broken bones
Led me to an evil ghost
I followed it to any hole,
It said, "Look at me,
I'm nothing but a shadow
What you thought was fear -
Well it was hollow,
Look at you,
You've been chasing shadows."
And then I woke up,
WAKE UP!
Woke up in you...
I still don't get all my strange behavior
Can't believe what I thought
Would save me
Pretty girl
I followed her around the world
And when I caught her she said to me
"Look at love,
It's nothing but a shadow
Where you saw a heart -
That was hollow
Look at you,
You've been chasing shadows."
And then I woke up.
WAKE UP!
Wake up in you...
You're like an angel with the sweetest smileBut when you
use it you're one evil child
But that's what brings me back again
We get along but only half the time
The other half you're just a friend of mine
And that's what brings me back again
I love you on your best behavior
I love you more when you are doing something wrong
But nothing's wrong with me
You said you liked it yesterday
Now you're telling me I can't stay (no way)
It's all your crazy f*cked up ways
That bring me back
And when you speak its such a lovely sound
Although your words they only put me down
And that's what brings me back again
I heard a rumor and I think it's true
You kill the people that get close to you
Let the reputation slip away, what do you say?
Oh baby doll...
