The Importance of Noble Character (Akhlaq)
📌 The core theme revolves around noble character (Akhlaq), which is the key criterion by which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was praised by Allah in Surah Al-Qalam, verse 4: "Wa innaka la'ala khuluqin 'adheem."
✨ The Prophet (PBUH) was sent to the world with the mission to perfect noble character, emphasizing its fundamental importance in faith.
⭐ A person's noble character is a measure of their perfection of faith; the strongest believers have the best character, as stated in the Hadith from At-Tirmidhi: *"Akmalul mukminina imanan ahsanum khuluq."*

Scope of Noble Character in the Believer
🔬 The lecture detailed 14 components of noble character for a believer, expanding beyond mere etiquette or manners:
1. Strength in Religion ($\text{kuwatan fiddin}$): Consistently maintaining religious duties regardless of busyness.
2. Firmness with Gentleness ($\text{hasman filin}$): Being firm against wrongdoing while maintaining gentleness in interactions.
3. Certainty in Faith ($\text{iman fi yaqin}$): Holding firm conviction in Allah and His promises (e.g., believing honesty leads to success).
4. Eagerness for Knowledge ($\text{khirson fi ilmin}$): Continually seeking knowledge without ever feeling completely satisfied, echoing the prayer *"Rabbi zidni ilma."*
5. Compassion rooted in Love ($\text{wasqatan fi miq}$): Showing mercy and care for others, stemming purely from love, not ulterior motives.

Practical Manifestations of Good Character
🎩 Other key characteristics included:
* Humility in Knowledge ($\text{hilman fi ilmin}$): Remaining humble and polite despite possessing knowledge; avoiding arrogance or belittling others.
* Simplicity in Wealth ($\text{qostan fiina}$): Maintaining a simple and frugal lifestyle even when wealthy, avoiding ostentatious displays of luxury.
* Dignity in Poverty ($\text{tajamulan fi faqoh}$): Maintaining good manners and conduct even when facing scarcity, not exploiting poverty for sympathy.
* Avoiding Greed ($\text{taharujan anama}$): Actively shunning greed ($\text{tamak}$), which is a constant desire for more.
* Diligence in Halal Earning ($\text{qasban fi halal}$): Being diligent and earnest in seeking lawful sustenance, overcoming the fear of social stigma or "gengsi" (prestige).

Managing Negative Traits and Final Advice
😡 Regarding anger, the prescribed immediate actions are to sit down if standing, perform ablution (wudu), and increase $\text{Istighfar}$ (seeking forgiveness).
🛡️ Believers must be able to restrain their desires ($\text{syahwah}$), as the consequences of failing to control desires are immeasurable and lead to profound regret.
🌱 Consistency ($\text{istiqamah}$) is crucial: performing small good deeds continuously (e.g., regular simple charity or prayers).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Noble character is the ultimate measure of a believer's faith and the reason for the Prophet's high praise from Allah.
➡️ Actively seek knowledge and never feel you have mastered it; always pray for an increase in knowledge.
➡️ When feeling anger, immediately sit down, perform wudu, and recite Istighfar to break the Satanic influence entering through rage.
➡️ Strive for continuous good deeds, even small ones, practiced consistently ($\text{istiqamah}$), and never let pride or prestige prevent seeking lawful earnings ($\text{halal}$).
