YESTERDAY’S pre-dawn talk titled, Prinsip dan Adab Berkomunikasi Menurut Perspektif Islam (An Islamic View on the Principles and Conventions of Communication), focussed on how current technology and social media have dominated the way we communicate with one another.
It was held at the Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Mosque.
Judge at the Syariah Subordinate Court Mohd Shah bin Haji Taip outlined the main three components of communication: the sender, the medium (the method being used) and the receiver.
“Islam has outlined the principles and etiquette to be observed in communication, which include speaking honestly, using the right words, refraining from hurtful or vulgar speech, avoiding disputes, speaking courteously and being a source of integrity,” he said.
