The Ramadan celebrations have officially begun. First and foremost, let us all thanks to Allah SWT for giving the opportunity to see and experiencing another month of fasting and worship. So, it is my fervent hope that this entry would become a good reminder for me and also to all my dearest Muslim reader friends. Perhaps I’m not late to wish “Ahlan Wa Sahlan Ya Ramadan Al Mubarak” for the arrival of this holiest month in the Islamic faith.
Ramadan : The Essence Of Faith And Manners
I have experienced in depth religious forum on how important to establish and maintain good morals and manners as an essential requisite of our faith. It was a good, intellectual and religious topic about character and manners in this holy month of Ramadan, as to be a pivotal time to ready our self, to reset our mind, heart and action for a new ‘us’. One that Allah SWT will be pleased with.. In Shaa Allah..
As according to the Prophet Muhammad ‘Peace Be Upon Him’ said;
“The best among you are the best in character and manners” – Al Bukhari
There could be many lists of character traits or qualities. In fact, if you and I were each to make our own list of character traits, it is likely that they would be somewhat different. One of the best ways for us to build good character and quality manners into our lives is to feed our minds with the wisdom of those who can say and do things in a way that reaches in and truly motivates us. According to one of the preacher, the character of the individuals manifests itself when we deal with other people. Therefore, it is a circle that is made of six vital components as Conscience, Compassion, Consideration, Courage, Control and Confidence.
It is also said that our character is made up by our words, actions and habits. Perhaps that is why the saying goes;
“Watch your thought,
as your thoughts become your words.
as your thoughts become your words.
Watch your words, as
your words become your actions.
your words become your actions.
Watch your actions,
as your actions become your habits.
as your actions become your habits.
Watch your habits, as
your habits formulate your character,
your habits formulate your character,
And your character
becomes your destiny.”
becomes your destiny.”
Improving Better Character And Manners
For me as far as my knowledge is concerned, “Character and Manners” is actually a common topic that quite synonym to “Hijrah” and usually discussed. However, only few of us including me with no exception, would really take it serious in life to really implement it through self-assessment as we look in the mirror, reflect on our past, look to the future and then imagine where we should be.
I must admit that in order to improve our character and changing who we are for the better devoted Muslims is not at all an easy task. But, perhaps Ramadan would be the best foundation, to set a plan for improvement and change by introduce rigorous self discipline, monitoring and education to reform, reset our entire way of thinking and acting in achieving the objective.
A Foundation To Enhance Good Manners
Let us make this holy month of Ramadan as the best foundation to enhance our good character and manners, also to clear our heads of bad ideas and interpretations. A way to establish a good moral code is to reformat or reset our mind, heart and actions, educate ourselves better ways to analyse ideas and events that we may come across with total belief, reliance and surrender ‘tawakkal’ only to Allah SWT.
May Allah SWT bless us with determination and His guidance towards excellence in life and living and in the hereafter.. ameen.
Till then.. Wishing you a blessed and happy Ramadan.
