God Wants You to Build a Strong Personality

There are some with strong personality and others with weak personality. A strong personality means to be a man of word, one who does what he says, has no hypocrisy and no difference in his head and heart. Suppose a person makes mistakes and doesn’t say I was wrong. Instead he starts to patch up and gives explanations to prove he is right. Even after making a mistake, he doesn’t clearly say I was wrong. All this makes a weak personality.

A hadith says: المؤمن القوي أحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف (Musnad al-Bazzar 8835). The words used in the hadith are الضعيف and القوي. An aspect of this is that there are some with strong personality and others with weak personality. A strong personality means to be a man of word, one who does what he says, has no hypocrisy and no difference in his head and heart. Suppose a person makes mistakes and doesn’t say I was wrong. Instead he starts to patch up and gives explanations to prove he is right. Even after making a mistake, he doesn’t clearly say I was wrong. All this makes a weak personality. The hadith means that if a person makes a promise and fulfils it, admits his mistakes when he is wrong, doesn’t speak manipulatively, rather says the right thing. Then he will build a strong personality. In another case, he will have a weak personality. A meaning of this hadith is that God likes a person to build a strong personality, not a weak personality. Why? One who has weak personality will not receive God's blessings. One with strong personality receives God's blessings. God likes such a person. Every moment, God sends down inspiration to people through angels.
