The Character of a believer

[أم بدر الدين]

Imam al-Ghazaali rahimahullah said: “A certain one of them (i.e. a certain righteous person), had gathered together the marks of ‘goodliness of character’. And he said that a person be:

- Abundantly modest, shy
- Rarely bothering (others)
- Abundantly righteous
- Truthful of tongue
- Rarely speaking
- Abundant in works (spiritual works)
- Rarely slipping (sinning)
- Seldom curious (nosy)
- Righteous
- Keeping one's ties
- Patient, steadfast
- Thankful
- *******, pleased
- Forbearing, clement
- Gentle, kind
- Continent, self-respecting, modest
- Tender
- Not cursing
- Not insulting
- Not carrying tales
- Not backbiting
- Not hasty
- Not hating (others)
- Not miserly
- Not envious
- Cheerful, easy-going
- Loving for the sake of Allah
- Detesting for the sake of Allah
- Accepting for the sake of Allah
- Anger for the sake of Allah

So all of this is good character.”

Welcome Sid ahmed

[أم بدر الدين]

we say that this person is not a believer when he totally ignores the pillars of Islam and does not behave as a Muslim

[hairless17]

But there is a difference between a muslim and a believer

[أم بدر الدين]

The difference between a muslim and a believer


A Prophetic hadith (tradition) makes the following statement: "The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe. The emigrant is one who abandons those things God has prohibited" (Al-Bukhari).
Let's briefly analyze this hadith:

In Arabic the presence of the definite article 'al-' (translated as "the") before Muslim is significant. This refers to true and ideal Muslims who leave their mark on all minds, not those who appear or claim to be Muslim, or whose birth certificate reads "Muslim." We understand this from the definite article, which points to a specific, definite one. This is derived from the Arabic grammatical rule that when something is described with a definite article, the item's highest and most perfect condition is indicated. So when "the Muslim" is aid, the first thing that comes to mind is the most perfect meaning of Muslim, and that is what is meant in the hadith.

True Muslims are people of safety and trust, so much so that other Muslims can turn their backs on them without doubt or suspicion. They can entrust a family member to such people without fear, for that person will be absolutely safe from the Muslims' hand or tongue. If they attend a gathering together, the person can leave in full confidence that no one will gossip about him or her, and neither will he or she have to listen to gossip about others. Such Muslims are as sensitive to the dignity and honor of other people as they are to their own. They do not eat; they feed others. They do not live; they enable others to live. They will even sacrifice spiritual pleasure for others. I derive all these meanings from the fact that the definite article also means hasr, an Arabic style that confines the meaning of a sentence to a certain person or object.

What Is A Believer?
A BELIEVER is “one who believes,” that is, one who has faith in something or someone. Faith can be legitimate (faith in what is true), illegitimate (faith in what is not true), or feigned (pretended faith). But there is something we need to understand as a fundamental axiom. Believing is not a choice. Only feigned, or pretended, faith can be chosen. Believing is not something a person can, or does, choose to do. Faith is something a person either has or does not have. It may be received through education or experience. It may develop over time as a result of the accumulation of evidence, or be received in an epiphany as evidence congeals in the consciousness, or, as we shall see, be given by God.
We learn many things in life. We come to many beliefs. Some knowledge, some belief, is universal; some cultural; some religious. Every field has specialized knowledge. But the faith we want to discuss is faith as it relates to the Scriptures, Scriptural truths, and saving faith.
