While mentioning the purpose of his arrival and highlighting the importance of good character, our Noble Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘بُعِثْتُ لِاُتَمِّمَ حُسْنَ الْاَخْلَاقِ’ i.e. I have been sent to complete the beauty and excellence of good character. (Muwatta Imam Maalik, vol. 2, pp. 404, Hadees 1723)

تِرے خُلق کو حَق نے عظیم کہا         تِر ی خِلق کوحق نے جمیل کِیا

کوئی تُجھ سا ہُوا ہے نہ ہوگا شَہا!        تِرے خالِقِ حُسن واَدا کی قسم

Brief explanation of the couplet: Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has mentioned your blessed character to be great in the Holy Quran. Moreover, your blessed birth was also blessed with grace and beautification. By the Lord who created your beauty and beautiful character! No one graceful like you has ever come or can ever come in future.

Therefore, all Muslims, especially youth, should make the Seerah of Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم their guide and should make beautiful qualities like honesty, good character and truthfulness a part of their lives. Because the one who has these qualities, then whether it is one’s own acquaintances or strangers, they all praise him, trust him, love him and incline towards him. Furthermore, such person becomes the apple of eyes of everyone due to the blessings of these qualities. Whereas contrary to this, dishonesty, ill manners and lying are such accursed evils that the one who has these ill qualities in him faces the displeasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, gets deprived of sincere friends, and fails to build a trust upon people and to please them. In short, such person faces disgrace and humiliation. Let’s listen to three sayings of Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on dishonesty, ill mannerism and lying and attain admonition. Therefore,

1.         Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: accursed is the one who harms a Muslim or cheats him. (Tirmizi, vol. 3, pp. 378, Hadees 1948)

2.         Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Those who are miser, disobedient and ill-mannered, will not enter Paradise. (Masawi-ul-Akhlaq, pp. 168, Hadees 361)
