In a time when the West pushes its deficient values and misguided moral codes on the cultures of the world, it is imperative that Muslims realise the completeness of the guidance of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), and realise that our true honour and distinction among the nations, as well as our success in the Hereafter, lies in embracing his fine and noble guidance, in all affairs of belief and action.

Based on the scholars’ continual advice to the Muslim youth, combined with the specific need that Muslims in the West have to understand and implement upright moral character, the importance of this book becomes crystal clear. And what better guidebook than one based on the character of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ ), authored by an exemplary scholar like Shaykh Ibn al-ʿUthaymīn, known for his outstanding manners.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ليس الشديدُ بالصرَعَةِ إِنّمَا الشديدُ الذي يَمْلِك نَفْسَهُ عَنْدَ الفَضب The strong man is not the one who can physically overtake others. Rather, the strong man (in truth) is the one who can control himself when he is angry” …So the strong man is not someone who can wrestle people and physically overtake them; rather, the strong man is he who can control his anger. He who manages himself well and remains in control when angry is a truly strong person. Maintaining control of oneself during a time of anger is a kind of upright moral character.
