TRAITS OF A GOOD PERSONALITY
Well-wishing and Benefitting

THE concept of ensuring safety for others through one’s actions and words, as well as being nonviolent and considerate in society, is deeply embedded in the teachings of Islam. It emphasizes the moral and ethical responsibilities that every Muslim has towards their fellow human beings.

Islam places great importance on the principle of ensuring the safety and well-being of others through one’s actions and words. This includes refraining from causing harm, whether physical or emotional, to others. Islam teaches that believers should be a source of peace and security in society.

While refraining from causing harm is a fundamental aspect of being a responsible member of society, the highest standard of humanity in Islam is to actively support and benefit others. This includes acts of charity, kindness, and compassion towards one’s fellow human beings, regardless of their faith or background.

The Quran says, “And they give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan, and the captive, [saying], ‘We feed you only for the countenance of God. We wish not from you reward or gratitude.’” (76: 8-9)

True humanity, according to Islamic teachings, involves being sensitive to the impact of one’s actions on others. This quality of empathy is exemplified in the way Muslims are encouraged to treat others with kindness, patience, and understanding. If a person unintentionally harms someone, Islam emphasizes the importance of feeling remorse and taking responsibility for one’s actions.

Islam encourages Muslims to not only avoid causing harm but also actively contribute to the well-being of society by supporting and benefiting others. This ethos of empathy, accountability, and a commitment to ensuring the safety of others reflects the essence of true humanity as taught in Islamic principles.
