sincerely devoted to Allah and who is aware that he will be judged can be
listed as follows:
Reliability,
Forgiveness,
Repelling evil with good,
Having mercy for believers,
Not being led astray by rage,
Engaging in good deeds for no price or reward,
Remaining consistently temperate in one's approach to people
Avoiding ridiculing people because of jealousy and selfishness,
Speaking graciously to people,
Keeping promises and trusts,
Being a reliable witness,
Avoiding vain talk and trifling,
Being generous,
Settling matters wisely
Being patient,
Being modest…
The attributes of believers listed above are only the basic ones. On the
Day of Judgement, man will be judged according to what actions he has
done and these attributes. Those who have these attributes in this world and
who have acted according to the Book, on the other hand, will be rewarded
with a beautiful life. Allah gives the good tidings to those who believe:
When those who have taqwa of Allah are asked, "What has your Lord sent
down?" their reply is, "Good!" There is good in the world for those who do
good, and the abode of the Hereafter is even better. How wonderful is the
abode of those who have taqwa: Gardens of Eden which they enter, with
rivers flowing under them, where they have whatever they desire. That is
how Allah repays those who have taqwa. (Surat an-Nahl: 30-31)
Not so! All who submit themselves completely to Allah and are good-doers
will find their reward with their Lord. They will feel no fear and will know
no sorrow. (Surat al- Baqarah: 112)
No matter under which circumstances you are, it is essential for your
eternal life that you never plead ignorance of the fact that you have to live
up to the values of the Qur'an.
