Good Character
|
Good conduct and noble character are the most valuable and
precious assets of any human society. They are the treasures of pride for any
individual. Courtesy
is a virtue, because a refined mind cultivates good habits, performs good
deeds, and avoids all that is bad and corrupt.
PROPHET
MOHAMMED’S (Sallallahu-A’layhi-Wasallam’s) CHARACTER
1) Allah, the Exalted, says:"And verily, you (O Muhammad
(PBUH)) are on an exalted
(standard of) character." (Quran Surah 68/4)
2) The Holy Quraan states: "Surely there is for you the best example in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam), for whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often (much)." (Surah Al-Ahzaab 33/21)
3) Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) was thebest of all the people in
behavior.
[Al-Bukhari volume 8/221 book 73 and Muslim]
4) Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I never felt any
piece of velvet or silk softer than the palm of the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH), nor did I smell any fragrance more pleasant than the smell of
Messenger of Allah (PBUH). I served him for ten years, and he never said 'Uff'
(an expression of disgust) to me. He never said 'why did
you do that?' for something I had done, nor did he ever say 'why did you not
do such and such' for something I had not done.
[Al-Bukhari volume 8/64 book 73 and Muslim Chapter 13-Book 030 #5720].
WHICH TYPE OF CONDUCT IS DESIRED FROM HUMAN BEINGS
1) "The Jannah is prepared for those who spend during ease and
hardship, who repress
anger,and who pardon the people." (3/133-134)
2) Abdullah bin 'Amr mentioned Allah's Apostle saying that he was
neither a Fahish nor a Mutafahish. Abdullah bin 'Amr added, Allah's Apostle
said, 'The best among you are those who have the best manners and character.' (Bukhari 8/56 Book 73)

not merciful to
others, will not be treated mercifully. (Bukhari

is not permissible for any Muslim to desert (not talk to) his brother
(Muslim) for more than three days." (Bukhari
8/73 Book 73)
5) Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet said "Gabriel continued to
recommend me about treating theneighbors kindly and politely so much so that I thought he would order me to make them as my
heirs. (Bukhari

asked Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about virtue and sin, and he said,
"Virtue is noble
behavior, and sin is that which creates doubt and you do not like people
to know about it."[Muslim Bk 032 #6195].
