Good Conduct

"There are ten qualities of good conduct: not to break promise, to do justice, not to take revenge, to recognize evil as sin, not to raise excuse, to bear the harm of others, to restrain passion, to know one's own faults from seeing the faults of others, to come to everyone with smiling face and to talk with humility with others."

(Source: Attributed to Usuf bin Asbat in Ihya Ulum-id-Din, the Chapter of Good Conduct)

I score low. Much to rectify.

allahumma kamaa 7assanta khalqee fa 7assin khuluqee wa 7arrim wajhee 3alaa-an-naar.
