About this ebook
Life in the material world was created in order to test mankind. Chapter 67 Al Mulk, verse 2:
"[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed…"
Because of this purpose the material world has been created with many preoccupations and distractions which prevent one from submitting obediently to Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. These distractions can be reduced to four main obstacles which will be briefly discussed in this short book. By avoiding and overcoming these great obstacles a muslim will Achieve Noble Character.
According to the Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2003, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, has advised that the heaviest thing in the Scales of Judgment Day will be Noble Character. It is one of qualities of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, which Allah, the Exalted, complimented in Chapter 68 Al Qalam, Verse 4 of the Holy Quran:
"And indeed, you are of a great moral character."
Therefore, it is a duty on all Muslims to gain and act on the teachings of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, in order to Achieve Noble Character.
