Make Your Inner
Existence Virtuous

The true human being is one who proves himself virtuous by his deeds: who is a positive thinker, his life is based on principles and he adheres to moral values.

The Prophet of Islam once observed: “God does not see your appearances or your wealth. He sees your heart and deeds.” (Sahih Muslim 2564)

In the view of nature, who is important and who is unimportant? The answer is that one who is good as regards his inner personality is a good person in the real sense. One who is bad regarding his inner personality is bad, even if he has assumed a very pleasant appearance.

One kind of appearance is achieved by clothing and other embellishments, while another kind of appearance is that which is projected by propaganda. Both kinds of appearances are in reality valueless. Those who depend on appearances of this kind are of value neither to themselves nor to society.

A very different kind of person is one who possesses noble human qualities. He is a person of principle, who adheres to moral values. He is a positive thinker, whose heart is filled with positivity. Such a person is the one desired by nature. It is people such as these who are the mainstay of a successful society in the real sense.

One who is lacking in such values cannot be a doer of good deeds solely on the strength of his appearance. He may look very pleasant but in actuality he will be an evil person. Good actions can be performed only by one whose inner existence is also virtuous.

A person incapable of good actions is like a statue carved in stone. The true human being is one who proves himself virtuous by his deeds.
