Our Character by Ḥabīb ʿUmar bin Ḥafīẓ illustrates the critical need for a return to the Prophetic imperative found in the hadith, "Truly, I was sent only to perfect noble character" [Aḥmad, al-Bayhaqī]. Without noble character, we as an Ummah will fall short in fully realizing the Prophetic legacy.
The book taught in these lessons focuses on three main areas of noble character: with Allah, with His Creation, and with our own selves. With beauty, wisdom, and brevity, Ḥabīb ʿUmar provides practical ways to improve one's character, making it accessible to a wide range of people.
We ask Allah ﷻ to beautify our souls with the noble qualities of our master Muhammad ﷺ.
