![t is an obligation that every Muslim should treat others, deal with them, and interact with them in a good manner. Ibn Rajab says in his commentary:<br />“Having good character is a characteristic of Taqwa. Taqwa cannot be complete without it. It was mentioned here by itself due to the need for explicitly explaining that point. Many people think that Taqwa implies fulfilling the rights of Allah without fulfilling the rights of humans. Therefore, the Prophet, sallallahu \'alayhi wasallam, explicitly stated that he/she must deal with people in a kind manner.”<br /><br />This ruling is stressed in many other hadiths, of which the following are some:<br />Benefits of Having Good Character<br /><br />“Piety and Righteousness is being of good character.” [Recorded by Imam Muslim]<br /><br />“The believer with the most complete Iman (faith) is the one with the best behavior.” [Recorded by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud]<br /><br />“There is nothing heavier in the scales than good character.” [Recorded by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud]<br /><br />The Prophet sallallahu \'alayhi wasallam, made Iman (faith) and good character as the main basic criterion whether or not to accept a man for marriage.<br /><br />\'Aa\'ishah (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “ When Allah (SWT) wills some good towards the people of a household, He introduces kindness among them.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad,6/71; Saheeh al-Jaami\', 303)<br />According to another report: “ When Allah loves the people of a household, He introduces kindnessamong them.” (Reported by Ibn Abi al-Dunya and others; Saheeh al-Jaami\', no. 1704)<br /><br />In other words, they start to be kind to one another. This is one of themeans of attaining happiness in the home, for kindness is very beneficial between the spouses, and with the children, and bringsresults that cannot be achieved through harshness, as the Prophet (SAW) said: “ Allah loves kindness and rewards it in such a way that He does notreward for harshness or for anything else.” (Reported by Muslim, Kitaab al-Birr wa\'l-Sillah wa\'l-Aadaab, no. 2592)<br /><br />Helping one\'s wife with the Housework<br />Many men think that housework is beneath them, and some of them think that it will undermine their status and position if they help their wives with this work.<br /><br />The Messenger of Allah (SAW), however, used to “sew his own clothes, mend his own shoes and do whatever other work men do in their homes.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/121; Saheeh al-Jaami\', 4927).<br /><br />This was said by his wife \'Aa\'ishah (RA), when she was asked about what the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to do in his house; her response described what she herself had seen. According to another report, she said: “H e was like any other human being: he would clean his clothes, milk his ewe and serve himself.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad in al-Musnad, 6/256; al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 671)<br /><br />She (RA) was also asked about what the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to do in his house, and she said, “ He used to serve his family, then when the time for prayer came, he would go out to pray.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/162).<br /><br />Affection to Children<br />The ways in which the Prophet (SAW) showed affection towards youn children are too famous to need mentioning. He often used to show his affection towards Hasan and Husayn, as mentioned above. This is probably one of the reason why the children used to rejoice when he came back from travelling; they would rush to welcome him, as reported in the Saheeh hadith:<br />“ Whenever he came back from a journey, the children of his householdwould be taken out to meet him.” He (SAW) used to hug them close to him, as \'Abd-Allah ibn Jafar (RA) said: “ Whenever the Prophet (SAW) came back from a journey, we would be taken out to meet him. One day we met him, Hasan, Husayn and I. He carried one of us in front of him, and another on his back, until we enteredMadeenah.” (Saheeh Muslim, 4/1885-2772) <br /><br />Compare this with the situation](http://www.justquran.com/tmp/thumb/1_2124.jpg)
![Another great video to benefit the Ummah with InshAllah.<br /><br /><br /><br />Topic: Fear Allah<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hadith:<br><br /><br />Abu Dharr relates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Fear Allah wherever you are. Follow up a bad deed with a good deed and it will blot it out. And deal with people in a good manner. [ Sunan al-Tirmidh]<br /><br /><br /><br />Quran:<br><br /><br />O you who believe! Fear Allaah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islâm (as Muslims) with complete submission to Allaah.<br /><br /><br /><br />Aal-E-Imran 3:102<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

![Allah says (in the interpretation of the meaning): `Certainly, We shall test you with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits; but give glad tidings to the patient - those who, when afflicted with calamity say, `Truly to Allah we belong, and truly to Him shall we return.` It is those who will be awarded blessings and mercy from their Lord; and it is those who are the guided ones.` [Surah Baqarah, 2:155-157]
SubhaanAllah, The life of this world is nothing but a Big Test, one after another... but the believer stays strong and never gives up. The Believer shows gratitude and thankfulness for all the wonderful blessings Allah gives him and displays patience and submission during sickness and hardships, hunger, or other afflictions.
O My Muslims, Never give up, remain patient and know your reward is with Allah, To Him we belong and surely to Him is our Return.
