There are two ways of conveying one's good charac-
ter to others: through words and through moral behavior.
The second way is far more effective and valuable, for it is
the genuine way and cannot be imitated. One's life and be-
havior can reflect one's belief only if it is genuinely alive in
one's heart.
Mary displayed this superior morality and became a
role model and a living invitation to religion through her
faith, behavior, and character. Her genuine call is an-
swered in the best possible way, Allah willing. The believ-
ers' faith continues to deepen as they follow Mary's exam-
ple and try to emulate her character.
