Watch Your Character – by Shaykh Mufti Saiful Islam

Many a times, those who falsely accuse others of harbouring evil are themselves in the possession of countless vices and in this case, there was also no exception. This was exactly what happened when Allāh Subhanahu wa ta’ala revealed the innumerable vices possessed by Walīd ibn Mugīrah, the person who accused the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam of possessing such deficiency.

In this Sūrah, Allāh Subhanahu wa ta’ala defended the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam of his elevated rank as being raised to a position of great spiritual dignity, ingrained in the very fundamental structure of his being, which moulded him with a disposition and temperament far greater than that of any being to have ever existed. Sūrah Qalam also teaches us to inculcate good habits and shun aside all bad habits.
