The relationship of a Muslim with the common people is always good. His behavior is like that of a decent person with high morals. There is no hidden motive behind his decency. Fear of Allah and the fear of accountability to Almighty Allah motivates him to acquire high morals. An ideal Muslim never deceives anyone. He does not commit treachery. He is never envious with anyone. An ideal Muslim is very tolerant, patient and kind in nature. There is always a smile on his face. He never calls anyone names.
An ideal Muslim does not commit hypocrisy. He never tells a lie. He does not misjudge and gossip with a view to insulting anyone. He does not spread slander in anyone’s name. He is very modest and unpretentious in nature. He does not insult anyone. He tries to do well for the mankind. If two groups involve in a conflict, he tries to make a deal between them. He urges people to the path of Allah. He tries to serve the patient. If someone treats him well, he tries to reciprocate. If it is not possible, he thanks them.
An ideal Muslim does not lead his life alone. He lives with his companies. When he suffers from them, he accepts it with a smile. He loves people and gives them pleasure. He urges people to the path of welfare. He prefers simplicity and fluidity and rejects hardness and artificiality.
He makes fair decision in all matters. He does not do injustice to anybody. He does not discriminate against anyone. He does not commit hypocrisy and flatter to anyone. He does not work for show and for reputation. He tries to keep staying to the right path whatever the time and situation may be. He does not change the shell if the situation is changed. He is a person of high thought. He is free from average thinking. He does not express styles in his speech.
An ideal Muslim is very kind and noble. He does not stab anyone to anything. He is very hospitable and never shows his boring to the guests. He never shows his inabilities if guests arrive at home. He provides foods to the guests even if he starves.
He forgives the loan of the loaners. If he suffers from poverty, he does not make others understand. He prefers donation to acceptance. He is not a slave of habitation. He makes the habits follow the rules given by Allah. He maintains discipline in his daily life.
Islam is not just only the example of some rituals to an ideal Muslim; it is a complete code of life of observance of Allah’s commandments in all aspects of personal, family, social, state and international life. An ideal Muslim is always on behalf of justice. He does not believe any kinds of racism. He understands the misconception of hypocrites. He does not make friendship with non-believers. He does not publish the internal affairs of Muslims to non-believers. He is very much conscious about the conspiracy of the non-believers.
An ideal Muslim has some duties and responsibilities internationally. He maintains these perfectly. Wherever a Muslim is persecuted in the world, he stands up against persecution. He tries his best to stop this oppression. He reminds Muslims of their past history and tries to wake them up. It gives them hopes about the future.
First of all, may Allah (SW) give tawfiq to build oneself as an ideal Muslim. Then benefit others through it. Ameen.
