MINDSET What makes Good character? How does one build the best of characters?

[adnanazmi]

Hi everyone!

Recently, I've embarked on a meaningful journey exploring ways to improve our character. As a follower of Islam, I naturally turned to the teachings of my faith for some insight. Here's what I found that Islam advises.

Building excellent character traits:

1. Truthfulness (Sidiq):

Quran: "O you who have believed, fear Allah and be with those who are true." (Quran 9:119)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise." (Sahih Muslim 2607)

2. Patience (Sabr):

Quran: "O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient." (Quran 2:153)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "No one is given a gift better and more comprehensive than patience." (Sahih Bukhari 6402)

3. Honesty (Amanah):

Quran: "Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice..." (Quran 4:58)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners." (Sahih Bukhari 2447)

4. Kindness (Ihsan):

Quran: "And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good." (Quran 2:195)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "None of you has faith until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself." (Sahih Bukhari 13)

5. Humility (Tawadu):

Quran: "And do not turn your cheek [in contempt] toward people and do not walk through the earth exultantly. Indeed, Allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful." (Quran 31:18)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Whoever humbles himself before Allah, Allah will elevate him." (Sahih Muslim 2588)

6. Forgiveness (Maghfirah):

Quran: "Show forgiveness, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the foolish [i.e., don't punish them]." (Quran 7:199)

Hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Show forgiveness, speak for justice and avoid the ignorant." (Abu Dawood 4337)

I'm eager to hear your thoughts too! Also, what are some other traits you believe contribute to improving one's character? Please give reasons and proof to why you say certain things. Your insights will be truly appreciated.

Building excellent character traits:

Would recommend not following the guidance of Andrew Tate then mate (or trash talking therapy for being "mainstream", or trash talking medication for things like depression, diabetes and cancer as you did in your previous replies)

Stop with the cynical views, not everything mainstream is bad, and stop letting idiots online like Andrew Tate shape your character. You're only fuelling conspiracy theories by sending out replies like those, especially when it was regarding a post where the OP was struggling with their mental health.

You're 21 years old, stop acting like a hero in one moment then sending out conspiracies in your replies.

Please be more aware of how your comments can affect others in this forum.

@MJ DeMarco something to keep an eye on.
