Abstract

In this article we studied and avaluated ‘Manners of conversation from perspective of the Holy ‎Quran and the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)’. We studied the importance of dialogue and its ‎place in the Quran, emphasizing on its quality of being natural, various types of conversation ‎and harmful aspects of conversation.‎ The significance of this research was due to finding answers for the question put forward; that ‎is: Why do we, sometimes, face problem in the dialog and conversations with others? What are ‎the proper manners and rules? What are the principles set by the Quran in this regard? Which ‎practical method the Prophet (PBUH) used to adopt? What are harmful aspects and damages of ‎conversation?‎ Some of the results obtained in this study are : manners such as good speech, truthfulness, good ‎behavior, gentleness, humility, beneficence to family, people and needy ones, and avoiding ‎backbiting and talking loudly etc. are mentioned in Quranic verses and sayings of the Prophet ‎‎(PBUH). In debates, behaviors such as listening to the claims of the opponent, choosing the best ‎words, avoiding controversy, speaking softly, avoiding aggressiveness... are considered good. ‎As for the harmful aspects of dialogue, Quran and the holy Prophet (PBUH) condemn prattle, ‎talkativeness, flattery, backbiting, anger etc. The final result is that to reach an amicable, ‎efficient and pleasant conversation , one should follow the above mentioned rules and should ‎also stay away from the stated harmful aspects of dialogue.‎
