Manner(s)


Explanation:
.... worship and manners
Or
..... Worship and proper manners. I guess it's better to translate it into the plural form: "manners," because in general Islam talks about it as a whole entity, which is composed of different conducts/behaviours.

The Definition of MANNERS:

A way of doing something or the way in which a thing is done or happens.A way of acting; bearing or behavior.The socially correct way of acting; etiquette.The prevailing customs, social conduct, and norms of a specific society, period, or group, especially as the subject of a literary work.Practice, style, execution, or method in the arts.a way in which a thing is done or happensa person’s outward bearing or way of behaving toward otherspolite or well-bred social behavior:   didn’t your mother teach you any manners?

Thanks, Daniel, for the observant comment. Your suggestions are definitely good and they convey the meaning, but I thought that “social behavior” is a modern term that is related to sociology, while “معاملة” (معاملة الآخرين) is an archaic religious term. I have also endorsed “Good manners/ Good behavior” and “Manners”. However, I wasn’t aware of the negative connotations in “dealing” that might make me withdraw my answer.

neutral  Daniel Wieber: This seems like a decent standard translation in most contexts. I wonder if you could simply say "social behavior" or "good social behavior." To me, "dealing with others" can have negative connotations because of other common English idioms using "deal."
