Developing Good Character

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)  emphasized the role of character in attaining success in the Hereafter:  “The heaviest thing on the scales on the Day of Judgment will be good character.” (Tirmidhi)

Key Traits to Cultivate

Patience (Sabr): Essential for enduring life’s trials and staying steadfast in worship. 

Say, “O My servants who have believed, fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.”’  (Quran, Az-Zumar 39:10)

Gratitude (Shukr): Recognizing Allah’s blessings and using them in obedience to Him. “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor].” (Quran, Ibrahim 

Humility: Avoiding arrogance and acknowledging one’s dependence on Allah. “And do not walk upon the earth exultantly. Indeed, you will never tear the earth [apart], and you will never reach the mountains in height.” 

(Quran, Al-Isra’ 17:37)

Forgiveness: Overlooking the faults of others as a means of earning Allah’s forgiveness. “… And let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you?” 

(Quran, An-Noor 24:22)
