What are the characteristics of a Muslim?
In the following lines, we will describe the characteristics of a Muslim in detail:
Honesty
- The creation of honesty is one of the complements of belief in Allah – the Highest – and the Messenger of Allah – may Allah bless him and grant him peace – has commanded us to seek honesty, which is the conformity of news with what it is in reality.
- A Muslim must be truthful in his words and truthful in his actions, and he must treat all people as honesty.
- Lying is one of the characteristics of hypocrites, and it is telling what is contrary to reality
Trust
- Trust is a character urged by Islam and it is against betrayal.
- It is one of the duties of a Muslim that must be characterized.
- The elements of trust are three:
- To forgive a Muslim for what he has no right to.
- To perform the rights of others that he has.
- Not to waste the secretariats by neglecting them, neglecting their preservation, and not maintaining them.
Modesty
- The best and highest type of modesty is modesty from Allah Almighty, and it is one of the branches of faith.
- And modesty does not return to its owner except with good.
- It is a morality that prevents its owner from doing the disgraceful thing.
- The relationship between modesty and faith is one of constant growth.
- The more faith increases in the heart of the believer.
- The more his shyness from Allah Almighty increases and his shyness from people increases.
- Modesty is one of the attributes of the Prophet.
The vineyard – characteristics of a Muslim
- Giving and generosity are characteristics of faith, for Allah is generous and loves generosity.
- And the generous one is close to Allah and close to people.
- But scarcity and prevention is a disease of the heart.
- It is one of the sins and doomsdays, for generosity attracts the hearts of people to the generous spender.
- Miserliness alienates people from its owner.
Justice
- Allah – the Highest – has commanded justice, which is to give everyone who is entitled his due.
- He did not send a prophet but He sent down the scale with him to judge between people with truth and justice.
- Justice has many benefits, including:
- Allah Almighty has made it the scale by which He judges between people.
- Whoever is characterized by justice receives the love of Allah.
- Justice is the cause of intimacy between the ruler and the ruled.
- Justice is the reason for the cohesion of societies.
- One of the reasons for non-Muslims to enter Islam.
Chivalry
Virtues: It is “the use of every good character, the avoidance of every ugly character, the use of what beautifies the servant and adorns him, and the abandonment of what defiles and disgraces him.” There are three levels of chivalry:
Virility with the right
Reforming the relationship between the servant and his Lord, for Allah bought the souls, so it is necessary to reform the thing sold.
Virtue with oneself – characteristics of a Muslim
Gentleness is with the self by accustoming it – even if it is forced – to every character that beautifies it, and keeping it away from everything that makes it ugly until it becomes one of its nature.
Virility with character
To treat people with the manners that you would like others to treat you with, with good morals, and keeping away from immorality.
Altruism
It is giving what you love and what you need and giving it to others.
Because it is giving that leads to deprivation of the soul, the giver deprives himself in order to be blessed by others.
Chastity
To prevent oneself from doing what one loves, not out of shortcoming, nor for the sake of worldly gain, nor for inability, but for the sake of Allah – the Highest – with the ability to do it, and they are types of them:
Chastity of the tongue
And be imprisoned for obscene.
Eye chastity
Not looking at people’s private parts.
Hand chastity
To avoid theft, oppression, and others.
Belly chastity
Preventing him from eating and drinking haram.
Vulva chastity
By leaving fornication and other taboos.

Gentleness and gentleness
- Gentleness is the opposite of violence, and softness is the opposite of harshness, so the Muslim should be gentle on the side, not quick to anger and revenge.
- He offers mercy and love, so he is gentle in his words and actions, and he takes things as easy as they are.
- Gentleness and kindness are not limited to people but extend to animals, beasts, and birds.
The dream
The dream is to restrain oneself from anger, the noblest of dreaming with knowledge, and forgiveness with ability.
And the dream removes the grudges and makes the sinner apologize to those who sinned with him and becomes his friend.
Humility
It was said that humility is: “Do not see anyone in need of yourself, neither in religion nor in this world.”
And it is one of the best acts of worship, so the Muslim is humble, gentle, without arrogance or coercion, accepts criticism, and accepts the truth upon himself. May Allah has mercy on those who said:
Humility, be like a star looming over the water while it is sublime and does not be like smoke that rises by itself to the layers of the atmosphere while it is lowly.
Courage – characteristics of a Muslim
- Courage consists in removing fear from the heart and taking risks.
- It is an instinct in the human being, so he has the composure to support the truth in word and deed.
- With no fear of anyone but Allah Almighty.
- It is the courage to possess oneself at the time of anger so that the brave person does not take any action that is caused by anger.

- Preserving the tongue from immorality and abomination, and safeguarding the limbs from evil and aggression.
