adab politeness in interaction molded class differentiation between the literate and non illiterate, thereby validating discrimination toward the lower classes.
Late 19th century and early 20th century revival reformists promoted women's education, but their advice literature centered on making women better equipped for household management.
Modern times
According to Jakob Guhl and Milo Comerford research, the main objective of content through modern online media is to provide brief and straightforward life advice to Muslims, certain preachers attempt to integrate such advice into their larger narratives.
In their search for the one authentic interpretation of Islamic scripture, .. followers ultimately look for comprehensive guidance political and spiritual queries, as well as a sense of belonging. Notably, the desire for unambiguous answers extends to seemingly mundane aspects of everyday life as well, for example like participating in certain recreational activities like playing games, picking one’s eyebrows, attending public swimming pools is permissible or not for Muslims .
Guhl and Comerford (2021) says that while most of regular life advice literature is mundane, at times significant part of it also can suddenly move on the verge of toxic hate speech.
The short time it takes for some of the preachers to shift from public swimming pools to mass violence and the end times suggests that the preachers seek to present small transgressions against their religious advice as a precursor to more serious infringements.
