PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT IN ISLAM :)) One of the greatest aspects of Islam is that Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala (exalted is He) has not only sent us guidance in the form of a text, but also guidance in the form of people. It is from the sunnah (way) of Allah that He sends men that He has chosen to mankind to guide them and teach them, and to become role models and examples for them. >>> Repentant and Kind. Allah describes Ibrahim (AS) : إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَأَوَّاهٌ حَلِيمٌ “Indeed Abraham was compassionate and patient.” [9:114] 1) [He was] awwaah meaning: He was continually returning and turning back to Allah in all of his affairs and he was one who supplicated to Allah, remembered Him, repented to Him and sought forgiveness a lot. 2) [He was] haleem meaning: very merciful and kind to the creation and in overlooking the wrongs they committed against him. Their ignorance did not faze him, nor did their crimes affect him. Rather when his father said to him, “I will surely stone you!” [19:46], he replied to him, “Peace be upon you, I will seek my Lord’s forgiveness for you.” [19:47] Ibrahim (as) worshipped Allah in every way he could, and he was also a man of great character. Many times we find Muslims who do many acts of worship, but at the same time, they are harsh and rude to the people. This is not the way of the Prophets! We should give more importance to improving our character as the Prophet ﷺ said, “The best of you is the best among you in conduct.” [Bukhari and Muslim] He also said, “Bad character ruins good deeds just as vinegar ruins honey.” [At-Tabarani] We learn from these traits that worshiping Allah and having good character are equally important to a Muslim, and we should strive in attaining both good character and being an obedient slave of Allah.
