GREAT Benefits of حُسْنُ الخُلُق (Good character)!

The Prophet  صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم mentioned the great benefits of  حُسْنُ الخُلُق  'Husnul Khuluq' (good character). This is an encouragement for us all to strive to achieve this.

Abu Darda  رضي اللّه عنـه narrated that the Prophet  صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said:

‏ ‏ مَا شَيْءٌ أَثْقَلُ فِي مِيزَانِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ

"There is nothing more heavier on the believer's Scale on the Day of Judgment than good character."

(Tirmidhi)

 

This is a very HEAVY statement: The heaviest thing on the scale of the believer is حُسْنُ الخُلُق, good character,  shows our understanding of the Deen, our awareness of Allaah, our awareness of our brothers & sisters in Islaam ... it consists of so many things. 

ANGER is one of the ways Shaitaan enters the hearts of man. Do we understand from this that one should never get angry?

No, this is incorrect understanding.
