Prophets are the chosen servants of Allah (swt). They are, in a sense, individuals who have been purified from among humanity. In the Qur'an, the term 'istafa' is used to emphasise this point. In the commentaries, this expression is understood and explained as meaning that prophets are made the essence of all creation, purified from negative qualities and decorated with praiseworthy attributes.
Allah (swt), has bestowed upon humanity the highest status among all His creations, referring to them as "Ashraful Makhluqat" (the noblest of creatures) in the Quran.
One of the virtuous qualities and behaviours expected to be developed by a Muslim based on piety (takwa) is generosity. Giving for the sake of Allah, without carelessness with what is in one's possession, without falling into condemnable situations and without making oneself needy, is a valuable quality.
When we mention 'Sunnah,' our Prophet (saw) comes to mind. Sunnah means tradition, path, practice and application. For us Muslims, it is the path, the path of Allah and just as we ask to be guided along the straight path 40 times a day in Surah Fatiha, it is the path of the straight path, which we also want Allah to guide us on.
The word Mercy, which reflects Allah's name Ar-Rahman, means to be most compassionate and merciful. All beings in the universe are surrounded by Allah's mercy. One of the most distinctive features of our Prophet (saw) is undoubtedly his mercy and compassion.
Islam commands people to have modesty and it forbids zina [adultery]. Adultery refers to extramarital and unwed relationships, which is considered unacceptable.
Allah (swt) has created us as beings with the opportunity to be the most honourable among His creations. When a person strives to truly be a devoted servant to Allah, they attain a level higher than even the angels.
