Etiquette and Participation 

Etiquettes

Students are expected to maintain the etiquettes and conduct befitting a student of sacred knowledge. This includes observing appropriate dress, showing respect to teachers and fellow students, treating books and learning materials with care, and conducting themselves in a manner that reflects the dignity of the madrasah environment.

Students should strive to be punctual, attentive and courteous at all times, recognising that good character and proper etiquette are an important part of the learning process and not merely an addition to it.

Online Classroom Etiquette

Students attending classes online should also ensure that they adhere to the etiquettes of acquiring knowledge just as they would in a physical classroom. This includes sitting respectfully, dressing appropriately, remaining attentive throughout the lesson, and avoiding unnecessary distractions.

Students should be seated in a suitable learning environment and conduct themselves in a manner that reflects respect for their teachers, fellow students and the knowledge being studied. 

Respect for Classmates

Students should also show consideration and respect towards their fellow classmates. Questions should always be welcomed, and students should never ridicule or laugh at another person's question. What may seem obvious to one student may be genuinely difficult for another. Such behaviour can discourage others from asking questions and ultimately harms the learning environment for the entire class.

Learning is a collective effort, and students often benefit from the questions, explanations and insights of their classmates. A successful class is one in which students support and encourage one another in their pursuit of knowledge.

Participation 

Students are encouraged to participate actively in lessons and ask questions whenever they do not understand something. A student's understanding of future lessons often depends upon a proper understanding of the material currently being studied. Small gaps in understanding can gradually accumulate and eventually make it difficult to follow later discussions.

Teachers would much rather students ask questions repeatedly until they understand than pretend to understand and continue with uncertainty. Questions should therefore never be viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as an important part of the learning process.

Students should strive to engage with their lessons, participate in discussions and seek clarification whenever required. Experience has shown that students who actively participate in lessons derive far greater benefit than those who remain passive observers.
