The answer

The pure has encouraged most virtuous values and noble morals, and prohibited their vices. Allah praised His Prophet (peace be upon him), saying: "And indeed, you are of a great moral character" (Al-Qalam: 4). Allah Almighty loves His servants to be adorned with virtues and avoid vices. Reviewing books on manners and ethics clarifies much in this regard. Whoever does so with a sincere and pure intention for Allah Almighty will be rewarded. As for whoever does it for a worldly purpose or to show off to people, he will not be rewarded, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, actions are by intentions, and indeed every person will have what he intended." And whoever dies patiently, seeking reward from Allah, sincerely for Allah's sake, because of these morals, he is upon great good.
