Good Character Begins at Home Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli hafidhahullah said: If you train yourself to adopt a certain good character, you’ll find that after some time it becomes natural to you. There is no good trait that you cannot develop. But you should seek help from Allah and strive for it. Some people say, “I’m just an angry person, that’s how I am.” But that’s not true—you can train yourself. Force it upon yourself, especially with your family, because the hardest place to show good character is with your family. That is why many people struggle to behave well inside their homes. As some say: outside the home they are like honey, but inside they are like onions. Outside, they smile and speak kindly—“my dear, my brother”—but if someone wrongs them, they stay calm and say, “May Allah pardon you.” Yet the moment they enter their home and see a mistake, they react harshly, “Your mother this...your father that...”—because they don’t feel the need to hold themselves back. So one of the best places to train yourself in good character is at home. If you can truly maintain good character at home, then you can be certain you will maintain it outside your home as well.
