The signs of good character are in ten qualities

 *Yūsuf ibn Asbāṭ رحمه الله said:*


*علامة حسن الخلق عشرة أشياء:*


١ - قلة الخلاف.  

٢ - وحسن الإنصاف.  

٣ - وترك طلب العثرات.  

٤ - وتحسين ما يبدو من السيئات.  

٥ - والتمـاس المعذرة.  

٦ - واحتمال الأذى.  

٧ - والرجوع بالملامة على نفسه.  

٨ - والتفـرغ بمعرفة عيوب نفسه دون عيوب غيره.  

٩ - وطلاقة الوجه.  

١٠ - ولطـف الكلام.


*The signs of good character are in ten qualities:*


1. Rarely arguing.  

2. Treating others fairly.  

3. Abandoning seeking out others’ faults.  

4. Seeking to rectify and improve any evil qualities which appear.  

5. Seeking excuses for people.  

6. Bearing harm.  

7. Blaming oneself.  

8. Occupying yourself with awareness of your own faults and not with the faults of others.  

9. Having a cheerful face.  

10. Being mild in speech.


*[فيض القدير لأحمد عبد الرؤوف المناوي (4/413)]*  


1. *Avoid unnecessary disputes* – Arguing often brings more harm than good. Peaceful interactions reflect wisdom and maturity.


2. *Practice fairness* – Treating others justly, even when it’s difficult, shows strong moral character.


3. *Don't look for others’ mistakes* – Being preoccupied with others’ faults leads to arrogance and division.


4. *Work on your own flaws* – Constant self-improvement is a sign of sincerity and humility.


5. *Give excuses to others* – Don’t rush to blame; assume the best and find reasons to excuse others' behavior.


6. *Be patient with harm* – Enduring harm with patience strengthens the soul and builds resilience.


7. *Hold yourself accountable* – Instead of blaming others, look inward and take responsibility.


8. *Focus on your own faults* – Awareness of one’s own shortcomings leads to humility and personal growth.


9. *Smile and be cheerful* – A pleasant face lifts hearts and strengthens relationships.


10. *Speak gently* – Kind speech calms tensions and builds connection.


These are timeless qualities of good character, deeply rooted in Islamic adab and prophetic guidance.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

Friday and it's dignity.

 Friday and it's dignity. Alhamdulillah, Allah says, Al-Jumu'ah 62:9 يَآأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew. Friday is the best day of the week because it was the day Adam was created, the day he entered paradise and the day he was removed from paradise. it was also the day he died and the hour(qiyaamah) will not come except on this day. Sahih. It was narrated from Aws bin Aws that: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Whoever washes (ghassala) and performs ghusl, comes early to the masjid and sits near the imam and does not engage in idle talk, he will have for every step he takes (the reward of) a year's worth of good deeds, fasting it and...
