Character (S1) Having a good character ensures you a long life. The scholars (r.h) mention that a long life here could mean, literally, a long life or it could mean extra blessings within your life. Our good deeds should be performed purely for the sake of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى. This is similar to how milk is described in Surah [16:66], milk comes out from between the excrement and blood of cattle, however it is pure. A glimpse into the sincerity of those before us: Hasan al-Basri (r.h) said that the Salaf (r.h) would sit in gatherings and if they were going to cry, they’d get up and leave. Another trait of the Muhsineen is that they perform righteous deeds in private. The Messenger ﷺ told us to do this.
