Islam has urged good character, for it is one of the greatest virtues. It includes fairness in dealings, gentleness, justice, benevolence, and other attributes of believers mentioned in the Quran. It is not merely a matter of being easygoing or refraining from grave sins; rather, it is about embodying the ethics of believers, enduring harm, doing good, refraining from causing harm, and choosing virtues while abandoning vices.
