In Islam good character and kind behaviour are highly valued. A kind word can win hearts while harsh behaviour can cause pain. As the best of creation humans should always strive to speak and act with kindness.

The Importance of Good Behaviour in Islam

Good behaviour includes

✅ Speaking politely and respectfully to others.

✅ Greeting people with Salam and asking about their well-being.

✅ Avoiding harsh language, insults and arguments.

✅ Not raising one's voice or being rude.

✅ Showing empathy and compassion for others.

✅ Smiling and spreading positivity.

✅ Helping others in times of need.

Islam teaches that a person’s true worth is reflected in their character. Those who treat others kindly earn love, respect and honour while those who behave rudely are disliked and avoided.

Good Manners Lead to Jannah (Paradise)

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said

- “On the Day of Judgment, nothing will be heavier in a believer’s good deeds than good character.” (Tirmidhi)

- “Allah dislikes those who use offensive words or behave rudely.” (Tirmidhi)
