Friday evening

The beautiful behavior

Whose prayer won’t be heard from Allah?

The one who is not humble towards Allah

The one who feel superior toward others

The one who can’t admit if he was wrong

The one who is not merciful towards the poor

“Oh Muhammad, take donations from the believers to cleanse them and to teach them beautiful behavior” since giving donation teaches you to be merciful towards others.

“And the smile in your brother’s face is a donation.”

The aim of Islam is that the people have a beautiful live and have beautiful character treats.

Many Muslims think that it is sufficient to limit their religiosity on hijab or learning to recite the Qur’an.

How can we profit from knowledge if we don’t have appropriate character traits to apply that knowledge?

How do we benefit from a woman that seems to be practicing on the outside but talks badly about others?

Good behavior and beautiful character traits are just so essential in Islam!

Allah says: “And when I love him, ill be the eyes he sees with and the hands he deals with!”

Muhammad, peace be upon him: “who ever is on his way to prayer, he already is in his prayer.” So when you are on your way to the mosque, be aware that it is like you already are in the prayer.

Muhammad, peace be upon him: “Who are the people that are at the lowest level at judgement day? Those other people avoid because of their bad behaviour!”

Iman (faith) and good behaviour belong together.

Especially for Muslims in the western world, it is very important to behave in an exemplary manner since we represent our religion and whenever a non-believer sees us doing something he will think: “Ah, that this is Islam.”

How do we benefit from good behaviour?

At judgement day it will worth more and has more value than any other good deeds we did.

Who are the people Allah loves the most? The ones with the most beautiful character traits!

This does ofcourse not mean that as long as you behave good you can neglect religious commandments. It rather stands for itself that religious practice and beautiful behaviour belong together and if you if your Iman (faith) is strong you will automatically aspire after establishing beautiful character traits in order to please Allah and vice versa.

But how can we gain knowledge and improve our behaviour?

You can gain knowledge through learning and practicing and the same gilt for character traits. Your character is changeable and beautiful behaviour is learnable.
