92 Akhlaq or Character

The Prophet (Sm) said:


Meaning: "The person who does not show affection to the


youngers and respect to the elders does not belong to our


group." These deeds and qualities are called Akhlaq.


On the other hand the bad deeds or the bad character is: to


disobey parents, to behave with guest, badly to be cruel to the


animals. To tell lies, not to honuor the elders and not to be


affectionate to the youngers. To break promises, to misbehave


with orphans, beggars, poor. Not to be neat and clean, to cause


sufferings to somebody. Oppression, terrorism, drug addiction


etc. are always considered as bad practices to people. But we


shall acquire the best qualities of the character and abstain from


the blamable sides.
