Poem: What Is Good Character?

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Allah the Almighty loves those with good character,
Those believers who strive to maintain proper manners,
Who try their best to behave decently with others,
Striving to pass Allah's tests with Sabr and Shukr.
~*~ 
Those blessed with fine conduct know when to be fair and kind,
So they're not taken advantage of by the unkind.
Kindness doesn't mean you give others gifts all the time,
But you treat them well, as you avoid gossip and lies.
~*~ 
If you have nothing nice to say, you remain quiet.
Good character inspires you to defend and protect,
Like a defender of the weak, bullied and oppressed.
With Akhlaaq, you're not the type of friend who gets jealous.
~*~ 
Upon noticing someone's flaws, you first check yourself,
Understand you're not perfect, then advise them to help.
Your advice is one-on-one. You never mean to hurt.
Mistreating others only makes one's self-hatred worse.
~*~ 
From good character is wanting others to succeed,
To thrive for Allah in both worlds, through faith and good deeds.
You enjoin right, forbid wrong, remind generously,
And welcome criticism to improve eagerly.
~*~ 
You dislike what Allah hates: Dhulm, rumors, backbiting,
Gossiping, kibr, laughing at others' shortcomings,
Stealing, breaking promises without valid reasons,
Suspicion, and looking down on Allah's creation.
~*~ 
From traits that Allah loves: Patience, courage for His sake,
Gentleness, gratitude, truth in what you do and say,
Mercy, not envying others for what Allah gave,
And knowledge that Allah is our Judge on Judgment Day.
