believer continuously feels this superiority, he reflects it in
his attitudes, which also naturally impresses others.
A believer who serves only Allah also has a morality
similar to the character and morality of prophets. He has

great goals he always have noble thoughts. Therefore, he
does not engage in anything base or humiliating. This
nobility, together with his candid and pleasant manner,
leaves a positive impression over those who want to learn
about religious morality.
