The Best Person
It has been said that the best person is he who possesses five traits:
1. He worships Allah (as best as he can). He is mindful of Allah no matter where he is or what he is doing.
2. He is of use to the creation. He benefits Allah’s creation with his self and his wealth.
3. People are safe from his evil. He does not cause harm to Allah’s creation by his tongue nor his hands.
4. He is not aspirant of people’s wealth. He is content with what Allah has given him and doesn’t look at others with greed or envy.
5. He is always prepared for death. He remembers that death is a certainty. No matter who he is or what he has he will leave everything behind and stand before Allah to account for his actions. He remembers that death is always one step behind, but one day it will catch him.
