مؤمن‌‎ ‎Ḥasan al-Baṣrī said: Verily, from the character of the believer is: • Strength in religion. • Determination with leniency. • Faith with certainty. • Eagerness for knowledge. • Sympathy with understanding. • Moderation in worship. • Mercy with effort. • Giving to those who ask. • Not wronging the one he hates. • Not sinning over the one he loves (i.e. not allowing your love for someone to blind you and make you do haram things). • Dignified in turmoil. • Grateful in ease. • Content with what he has. • Speaking to impart understanding. • Being silent out of caution. • Affirming the truth as a witness over him. Source: Jami’ Bayan al-‘Ilm (622) Shaikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah: The believers encourage people to: • Reconcile relations with those who have cut them off. • Give charity to those who have deprived them. • Forgive those who have oppressed them. • Be kind with parents. • Uphold family ties. • Be kind with neighbors. • Be kind with orphans, travelers, and the poor, and to be gentle with servants. • They forbid bragging, arrogance, and transgression. • They discourage people from feeling superior over others, rightly or wrongly. • They enjoin people to use lofty manners and prohibit them from pursuing trifles. • All that they say or do from these virtues and other teachings, in all of it they follow the Qur’an and the Sunnah. • Their path is the religion of Islam with which Allaah has sent Muhammad.
