Question

Describe the contribution of Muslims to literature

Answer 1

ne term for this is adab. Although today adab denotes literature generally, in earlier times its meaning included all that a well-informed person had to know in order to pass in society as a cultured and refined individual. This meaning started with the basic idea that adab was the socially accepted ethical and moral quality of an urbane and courteous person'; thus adab can also denote the category of Islamic law dealing with etiquette, or a gesture of greeting.[1] More recently, studies have been done on the novelization of contemporary Islamic literatures[2] and points of confluency with political themes such as nationalism.[3]
