their lives. Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: Verily, I have only
been sent to perfect righteous character (Musnad Aḥmad, 8729).
Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: I have been sent to perfect good
character (Al-Muwaṭtạ , 1614).
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: Behave with good character
toward the people (Sunan al-Tirmidhi ̄, 1987)
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: ‫( أ‬The best of you are
those with the best character. (Ṣaḥ i ̄ḥ al-Bukhāri ̄, 3366)
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: The most complete of the
believers in faith are those with the most excellent character, and the best of you are the best in
behavior to their women (Sunan al-Tirmidhi ̄, 1162)
Character education is an important part of any student's education. The teacher's role is to establish a
classroom atmosphere that encourages self-discipline, self-respect, responsibility and a sense of moral
obligation toward others.

individual’s entire life is based. Men of good character have been remarkably successful. Character
determines the success of individuals and teachers have the ability and the potential to develop and
strengthen students’ character.
