Developing a Quranic personality, how to be and
what not to be.
We focus tonight on on the concept of.
A concept that appears 14 times in the
holy Quran
and in Islamic terminology
implies
a variety
of positive behaviors and positive attitudes.
In Fati, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said,
Bil
is good character and good conduct.
And part of the mission and part of
the primary mission of the Rasul
was the improvement of human character and human
behavior.
But we could also imply cordiality
or respect to others. It's a verse in
the Quran where Allah says, Allah does not
prevent you from being kind and friendly with
people.
To show bir, to manifest bir to those
who don't fight you in your faith, and
to be kind to those people.
Bir is also the criterion
of social engagement.
Cooperate with each other, cooperate with others, with
one another on the basis of of that
which leads to righteousness and Allah consciousness.
And there's a particular verse, a conditional verse
in the Quran, that evokes our conscience. In
fact, it'll be the first verse that he
said tomorrow night.
It says, the attainment of is preconditioned. You
will never attain unto and to that level
of righteousness.
Until and unless,
you avail for others that which you yourself
symbolizes
righteousness
coupled with the concept of and
in fact, of generosity of spirit, and that
of empathy for human beings.
When you look at the prophetic example, salallahu
alaihi wasallam,
his nature was one of righteousness.
Not only that, he motivated other people towards
righteousness.
Do you not see the prophet sitting on
the street of Medina,
listening to an old woman and her plea?
Do we not see him,
responding to people or insulting him with kind
words? Do we not see how he has
mercy on those who may be opposing him?
Do we not see how he exhorts the
believers to feed the hungry, to care for
the orphans?
And therefore, the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam, his
righteousness
the society around him. His etiquette of social
interaction, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, was empowering
rather than controlling.
He was a person inspiring
rather than dictating,
uplifting
rather than belittling or denigrating.
He was seeking commitment
rather than *
over them. And he ignited the moral imagination
and the spiritual consciousness
of those around him. And therefore, he could
take a shepherd boy like Abdulai ibn Mas'ud,
a noble woman like Khadija,
a slave like Bilal.
A nurse like Eiman.
A foreigner like Salman. A wealthy man like
Abu Bakr. A Jew like Abdullah Alaihi Salam,
an outcast like Juleibib,
and embrace them equally into his companionship
with the one
The prophet therefore taught us, righteousness
by his example.
That to be good, you do not have
to be judgmental.
To be equal, you don't have to be
exactly the same. To be tough, you don't
have to be mean.
To be strong, you don't have to be
cruel. To be united, you don't have to
be identical. To be right, you don't have
to be rude. And to be religious,
to be of the
to be of the righteous,
not to be of those who are self
righteous. As Allah warns us in the Quran,
Do not be self righteous.
Only Allah knows truly those who are righteous.
May Allah make us of the righteous.
