In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
In Surah Al Furqan, Allah explicitly told us who are His real servants. The number one characteristic of His servants is humility.
وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلْجَـٰهِلُونَ قَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا ﴿٦٣
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace, [Quran, Al Furqan 24:63]
This world is full with people with bad character (akhlaq) and terrible ego. What is the reponse of the servants of Allah towards these people? They don't stoop to their level, they don't speak with vulgarities or cursing. When the ignoramus or foolish person confronts them, they say peace and let it go. When we employ these characteristics, we will gain the hearts and the minds of these so many foolish people. When you resort to their level they will overcome you because they have more experience than you in harshness and foolishness. But if you maintain the higher moral ground, the sincere among them will come to you.
We are constantly told to better ourselves. Let's begin with our manners.
May Allah make us of those with good manners and grant us noble character. Aameen.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.
And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all.
Wassalaam
