How can a Muslim emulate the ethics of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and make them firm in his heart, including the abandoned Sunnahs, following the example of Aisha's, may God be pleased with her, saying, "His character was the Qur'an"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The morals of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, are many and great. The Holy Quran described them as "a tremendous character." The Mother of the Believers, Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, explained this by saying that his character was the Quran, meaning that he exemplified its commands and prohibitions and adorned himself with its manners. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, combined every virtue and beautiful trait, such as noble lineage, abundant intellect, modesty, extensive worship, generosity, courage, patience, humility, justice, forgiveness, good companionship, and others. To learn more about his morals, it is recommended to refer to books such as "Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyyah" by At-Tirmidhi, and "Ash-Shifa bi Ta'rif Huquq al-Mustafa" by Qadi Iyad.
