Question

Is there a program for character building I can learn?

Answer

You may visit your local mosque to pursue an Islamic studies program of faith and good deeds for character building, involving adult-education, community service and spirituality. The program may involve spiritual talks as well as educational learning from books of virtues, studying role models in human history - stories of the Prophets, their companions and pious believers, simple and humble life-style, good manners and etiquettes.

The overall program objectives should include how to increase faith, reliance on Almighty God, motivation for good deeds, trustworthiness and mutual respect in daily life, love and care for humanity, compassion and mercy for young and old in family and community, sense of accountability in deeds and words, spirit of sacrifice for fellow human beings, sincerity and purification of heart (cure for arrogance, jealousy, greed, malice and show-off), devotion in worship, time management and avoiding irrelevant and useless tasks to become more productive in daily life, sharing a message of peace and obedience to Almighty God and His Messenger (peace be upon him), becoming an ideal-human being following the ways and manners of the Prophet (peace be upon him), developing a concern how every human being can achieve success in this life and Hereafter.

The program should educate people to produce better believers, law abiding responsible citizens with high morals and characters living peacefully in the society as community members having strong faith, performing good deeds, and have a sense of accountability to Almighty Allah.

And Allah knows best.
