Shaykh's points on HOW TO IMPROVE CHARACTER ?
1. Increase knowledge on rewards of having good character & consequences of having bad character.
2. Mindfulness: Identify & reflect daily on your actions & ask why I acted the way I acted.
3. Talk to yourself/ preach to yourself (saying I will be doing that or I won't be doing that)
4. Make deliberate intention to work on particular bad character that you have.
5. Be easy on yourself and keep trying to improve.
6. Apologize to people if you have wronged them.
7. Learn from your mistake/take responsibility.
8. Try to be around good influence.
9. Allow yourself to try humbleness (see what's the worst that can happen if you are humble)

Amazing lecture Masha'Allah… We need to practice self-awareness at all times, stop and think before speaking, before acting
🗝️ Takeaways
🔹Allah praises those who restraint their anger and channel it. Higher in status are those who can pardon the ones who have wronged them and even higher in degree are the ones who continue doing good to the ones who have wronged them.
🔹A sin is something that scratches at your conscience and you would hate that people know that about you. Prophet SAW said true piety and closeness to Allah involves excellence in character.
🔹 Prophet SAW said the ones who mostly enter Paradise are the ones who are God fearing and have God Consciousness paired with high good character.
🔹Hadith: There is nothing heavier on the scale of a believer on the Day of judgement than goodness of character and Allah dislikes the ones who is foul mouthed, uses indecent words and insults and swears.
🔹Hadith: I guarantee a house in the mediocre parts of Paradise for the ones who disengage in non sensical and non beneficial argumentation, even if they are right, and a house in the heart of Paradise for whoever avoids all forms of lying even as a joke ( joke that brings hurt or harm), and guarantee a house in the highest place of Paradise for the ones who have excelled in character.
🔹 Religion/Iman are separate to good character. But having religious knowledge of what punishment or reward an action entails, act as a reminder & motivator for improving character. Good character does not necessarily equate to good deen and vice versa. But a person practicing deen is most likely to have a good character.
🔹Do not generalise and judge a group of people because of a few wrong ones.
🔹People vary in character because of two reasons. Firstly, they are born imprinted with certain genetics with a psychological, behavioural & personality tendencies. Secondly, some behaviour is acquired from the environment you are born in, upbringing, influence of people around you, experiences etc.
🔹We can't control people's behaviour but we can control our response.
🔹Do not judge person's good character as an ultimate sign of being religious while they display religious shortcomings and are publicly sinful. Vice versa, do not judge a person's outward religiosity as a definite sign of good character.
