How can a Muslim be positive with himself and with people, and does enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong fall under positivity?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The understanding of positivity derived from revelation is the one that is authoritative. Surah Al-Asr summarizes this concept in four qualities that distinguish a positive Muslim personality: faith, righteous deeds, enjoining the truth, and enjoining patience. Through faith and knowledge, followed by righteous deeds, a person perfects themselves. Through enjoining the truth and enjoining patience, they perfect others. By achieving these four matters, a person is saved from loss and achieves great profit. Enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong is considered part of enjoining the truth.
