The primary mission of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) having brought Islam to the Muslims was to instill good character within them in every aspect of their lives. Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه‎) reported: The Messenger of Allah, (صلى الله عليه و سلم), said: Verily, I have only been sent to perfect righteous character. [Musnad Aḥmad 8729, Grade: Sahih]


Good character is the result of a pure heart that is free from spiritual diseases like envy, malice, and arrogance. A person with good character has integrity and is not overly attached to worldly things at the expense of righteousness. Abdullah ibn Amr (رضي الله عنه‎) reported: It was said to the Messenger of Allah, “Which of the people is best?” The Messenger of Allah, (صلى الله عليه و سلم), said: Everyone who is pure of heart and truthful in speech.

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf talks about the ways to perfect your character.
