Is it a religious obligation for a Muslim student to respect teachers and fellow students at school?
A Muslim's respect for his fellow Muslim is a religious obligation, as evidenced by texts from the Quran and . This respect is particularly emphasized for teachers, students, and colleagues. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim; he does not wrong him, nor does he abandon him, nor does he despise him." And: "It is enough evil for a person to despise his Muslim brother." And: "Every Muslim's blood, wealth, and honor are sacred to another Muslim." He, peace and blessings be upon him, also said: "He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young and does not acknowledge the honor of our elders." Respect is even more crucial between a teacher and a student of knowledge, and books have been written on the etiquette of the student and how they should interact with their teachers and colleagues.
