The One with the HighestMoral Character

“I have been sent to perfect excellent moral character,” the
Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) said. Showing good character and
excellent moral behaviour was extremely important to the
beloved Prophet of God a. His whole life was a practical
demonstration of good character and excellent morals. God
praised him in the Quran saying: In truth, in (the sacred
person of) God’s Messenger (Muhammad(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) ), there is for you
a most perfect and beautiful model for every such person
that expects and aspires to (meet) God and the Last Day and
remembers God abundantly. [Q.33:21.]
Such is the importance of good character and morals that
the Prophet Muhammad(صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) a said: “Indeed the most beloved
among you to me, and the nearest to sit with me on the Day of
Judgment is the best of you in character. And indeed, the most
disliked among you to me, and the one sitting farthest from me
on the Day of Judgement … is the arrogant.”
