Character building
character- building is of concern to many disciplines:
psychology, sociology, social anthropology- and
religion regards it as its central issue. "Character"
could be taken to mean that coherent pattern of
thoughts, habits and conduct which imparts an
element of unity, continuity and consistency to human
behavior.
Tazkia
Tazkiya means literally the purification or the
cleansing of all those things which are unwholesome
and unwelcome and unwanted. At the same time it
endows the human being with all those things which
are essential for growth and develop- ment, for
blossoming and flowering.
Tazkia of a person
The tazkiya of a person would mean the developing of
his character, his thought, his behavior; it would mean
the moulding of his entire flow of actions to free them
from those evils, those unwholesome traits which are
obnoxious, un- desirable in the eyes of Allah, and to
endow them with all those virtues which Allah wants
to flourish in human life. Tazkiya, one might say, is a
"short-hand" word for the entire concept of character-
building.
Knowledge
Principle of character-building is knowledge. But
knowledge on its own is not sufficient: it is definitely
essential but not a sufficient source for character-
building.

Humility, modesty, control of passions and desires,
truthfulness, integrity, patience, steadfastness, and
fulfilling one's promises are moral values that are
emphasized again and again in the Quran
And God loves those who are firm and steadfast.
(3:146)
Social responsibility:
Teachings of Islam concerning social
responsibilities are based on kindness and
consideration of others. Since a broad injunction to
be kind is likely to be ignored in specific situations,
Parents
