The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most perfect believer in respect to faith is he who is best of them in manners." Without 'adab, a person's faith becomes empty. When your ego is inflamed, subdue it, put it down and aside, and demonstrate intelligence. To let one's ego dominate is understood as a mark of stupidity and deficiency of intellect. Argumentation leads to ruin, there is no winner. Keep debates civil and in the spirit of learning.

Do not make personal attacks against each other or use ad hominem during debates. Do not demean one another or insult each other's intelligence by devaluing each other's point of views and arguments. Disagreement is fine, but do so respectfully.

And do not insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do. — Qur'an [6:108]

Profanity is lowly language. If you require a way to express yourself more deeply, read philosophy, poetry, and anything that will expand your vocabulary. This is a place of learning, not debasement.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The believer does not taunt others, he does not curse others, he does not use profanity, and he does not abuse others."

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and the believer is the one who is trusted with the lives and wealth of the people."

Do not harass or hound others. If you feel animosity towards someone to the extent that you need to constantly message them or respond to their posts, then take it as a sign that you need to subdue your ego and take a break.

Keep the conversations with others limited to the post you engage in and refrain from submitting counter-posts in response. Avoid posting excessive personal rants. Do not publicly shame others for having a different opinion, or repost their deleted content.

Regardless of a person's beliefs or belief system, whatever it relates to, whether it is along the lines of religion, culture, sex, gender, race, and so on, there is no room for the expression of hatred.

Healthy disagreement and discussion is allowed, but as many of these topics and issues are sensitive, people must be mindful of the other rules that require good manners.

Do not label a person as a disbeliever. Regardless of what you think or believe, there is a system that exists for this, and nobody here has the legal right to make such a judgement.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Every way of life has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty."

Do not post pornographic material, whether hard or soft categories of pornography. Do not post gruesome content that may portray human remains or violent actions being committed. No NSFL posts of any kind.

You can refer to and cite rulings by linking to recognized scholarly websites, publications, or books.

For easy reference, a person should use "ﷺ", but other honorific references are also acceptable.
