Emphasis of Good Character and Manners in Islam
Tumblr media
Islam is not just a set of rituals or beliefs; it is a comprehensive way of life that emphasises the importance of good character and manners. The teachings of Islam, as conveyed through the Quran and Hadith collections, provide invaluable guidance on how to conduct oneself with integrity, kindness, and compassion.
The Prophet Muhammed said: “Nothing is heavier upon the scale of good deeds on the day or judgement than Good character, truly Allah hates the vulgar and the obscene.”
Good character and manners hold a central place in Islam, reflecting the inner beauty of a person’s heart. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasised the significance of good character, stating, 
“The best among you are those who have the best manners and character” (Sahih Bukhari).
Islam encourages its followers to be kind and compassionate towards all beings, whether human or animal. 
There is no Muslim who plants a tree or sows seeds and then a bird, or a person, or an animal eats from it except that it is regarded as a charity for him. “ — Sahih Bukhari
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith” (Sahih Muslim). 
This teaching showcases the importance of showing mercy and empathy in all interactions as well as being a good caretaker of our earth we share with other creatures of God. 
Respect for Others
Respect for others, regardless of their background or beliefs, is a fundamental principle in Islam. The Quran instructs Muslims to “speak to people kindly” (Quran 2:83) and to “repel evil with that which is better” (Quran 41:34), promoting an understanding and harmonious society.
“You have your way, and I have my Way.” Quran 109:6
Honesty and Integrity
Honesty and integrity are highly valued virtues in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise” (Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 79). Muslims are encouraged to be truthful in their words and actions, even when faced with challenges or difficulties.
“The honest and trustworthy merchant will be with the prophets, the truthful, and the martyrs.” Sunan al-Tirmidhī 1209
Prophet Muhammed (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” (Narrated by Ibn Majah, 2340)
He also said: “By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself of good.”
Patience and Forbearance
Patience and forbearance are qualities that Islam encourages its followers to cultivate. The Quran describes the believers as those who “restrain anger and pardon people” (Quran 3:134) and advises, “Be patient over what befalls you” (Quran 31:17). Through patience, Muslims learn to navigate life’s trials with grace and resilience, having faith and certainty that whatever bad befalls a believer, through patience and perseverence, good will come out of that test.
“We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure..” Quran 2:155
Humility and Modesty
Humility and modesty are characteristics that Islam promotes as essential for spiritual growth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah will elevate him” (Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith 6264). Humility allows individuals to recognise their own shortcomings and seek improvement with sincerity.
The emphasis on good character and manners in Islam, as reflected in the Hadith collections and Quranic verses, serves as a beacon of guidance for Muslims seeking to embody the teachings of their faith and emulating the character of the best man to walk the Earth. By practicing kindness, compassion, respect, honesty, patience, and humility, Muslims strive to fulfil their role as ambassadors of Islam, contributing to a more harmonious and strong community with good family and societal ties.

Eid al-Fitr: Celebrating the End of Ramadan
Tumblr media
Eid al-Fitr, also known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast, is a joyous occasion celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan. This festive day holds deep cultural and religious significance, bringing families and communities together in a spirit of unity and gratitude.
Traditions and Customs
Eid al-Fitr is a time of joy, reflection, and giving thanks for the strength and patience shown during the month of fasting. One of the key traditions of Eid is the special prayer known as Salat al-Eid, which is performed in congregation at mosques or open prayer grounds. This prayer is a symbol of unity among Muslims, holding among the largest gatherings of prayer worldwide, regardless of their background or nationality creating a colourful tapestry of cultures on display.
Global Celebrations
The beauty of Eid al-Fitr lies in its universal celebration across the globe. Muslims from diverse cultures come together to celebrate those days with traditional foods, decorations, and clothing. The atmosphere is filled with happiness as families gather for meals and share gifts with loved ones and the less fortunate.
Eid al-Fitr is a time for Muslims to strengthen bonds with their families and loved ones. From early morning prayers to festive meals shared together, the day is marked by joyous gatherings and quality time spent with family members. This emphasis on family values reflects the teachings of Islam, which prioritise unity, compassion, and love within the community.
Prophet Muhammed (may peace be upon him) said: “Give presents to one another for this would increase your mutual love.”
Payment of Zakat al-Fitr, Allowing Those Less Fortunate to Enjoy Eid Too
One of the beautiful aspects of Eid al-Fitr is the payment of Zakat al-Fitr, a form of charity given by those who can afford it to help the less fortunate enjoy the celebrations. This act of giving highlights the Islamic principle of caring for the needy and ensuring that everyone can partake in the joy of Eid. As mentioned in the Quran, 
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain that sprouts seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains. Thus Allah multiplies the action of whom He wills” (Quran 2:261).
Eid al-Fitr is a time of spiritual renewal, gratitude, and compassion, showcasing the beauty of Islam through its traditions of generosity, unity, and compassion for those less fortunate. The message of Eid resonates with people of all backgrounds, promoting peace and harmony in our diverse world.
