The Lord of the universe has created human with a calendar and a beautiful board and as the best of creation. Therefore, human has a special place compared to other creatures. human is a beautiful and gentle creature, a creature that the Lord of the universe created them with a special feat; Therefore, it behooves a person to be aware of himself and always seek factors that will preserve his tenderness and beauty and add to its level; Therefore, the thing that makes a human being, especially a Muslim person, stand out among other humans and Muslims, is his good personality.
Personality is not only about the makeup and trimming of human appearance; Rather, personality consists of behaviors, thinking style, way of speaking, understanding the environment and interpersonal interactions that are consistently observed [based on a recognizable pattern] in a person.
Human personality, especially a believer, has such a high foundation that even “self-respect, self-control, and contentment to the extent of self-sufficiency are said to be the foundations of faith.”
Dear Islam, it commands and advises all human beings, especially Muslims, to develop their personality and to preserve their dignity and self-respect; As the beloved Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, says: «مَا وَقَى بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُ عِرْضَهُ، فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ» (Anything that a person uses to maintain his dignity and reputation [within the scope of the Holy Sharia] is written as charity for him.)
This saying of the beloved Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, indicates that a Muslim must always and in any situation preserve his personality and reputation and consider the manners and actions in order to honor his soul and his human dignity, be honored.
Paying attention to the personality in terms of appearance does not imply ostentatiousness and worldliness; Rather, if there is no pretense and hypocrisy, it is the same tradition. Driving a good car and riding, wearing beautiful and appropriate and clean goods, repairing and building a good and suitable house, eating good, delicious and varied foods, these are the things that are not desirable if showing off, seeking superiority, extravagance, etc. Islam has no problem with them; Rather, Islam always orders people to use blessings properly and says: “The upper hand is better than the lower hand.” Dear Islam says: “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.”
Therefore, in this article, I have tried to discuss the personality of the Muslim person based on the traditions and sayings of the scholars and scientists of the Ummah with the following investigations and detailed investigations. It should be said that in fact, the discussion and investigation of the concept of “personality” is more related to the field of psychology; But in this article, I will only deal with the factors of development and preservation of personality and also the things that have negative consequences and damage to the personality and honor of a Muslim.
Definition of personality
If a person searches and examines a little about “personality”, he will find that different definitions have been provided by scholars and scientists that cannot be defined simply; But when the definition of human is clear and clear for us; Then we can reach a single definition for personality; Therefore, we state the definition that is among the major and most comprehensive definitions in this case:
The word “personality” means self-esteem, honor, magnanimity, rank and grade. And also, in Persian culture, it is said to mean a specific purpose to each person, a set of internal factors of a person and a set of emotions (feelings, emotions and thoughts) of a person.
Personality can be defined as definite patterns of thinking, emotion and behavior that define a person’s personal style in interaction with his social and material environment. In other words, personality includes relatively stable and stable specification, which are described by traits such as irritable, anxious, talkative, introverted, extroverted, etc.
The word personality has various meanings in everyday language; For example, when it is said about someone that he is very personable, it often refers to the level of efficiency and social attractiveness.
Sometimes the word “personality” is used to describe the most obvious property of a person; For example, it is said that such and such a person has an aggressive personality (fighting and argumentative) or a shy personality (shy). So, the main concept of personality is a formal and social image and is drawn based on the role a person plays in society; That is, in fact, a person presents a personality to his society, based on which the society evaluates him.
