Let knowledge shape your character

Allah knows everything. That’s mentioned many times in the Qur’an — like in Surah Al-Baqarah (282) and Al-Ahzab (40).

When you truly know Allah, it should make you feel humble. You become more careful with your words, actions, and even your thoughts.

Good character with knowledge means:

You understand who Allah is

You learn His laws

You know what’s allowed and what’s not

You try to follow what brings you closer to Him

Allah says: "Know that there is no God but Allah." (Muhammad: 19) "The Qur’an was revealed with the knowledge of Allah." (Hud: 14)

Other verses also remind us to know that:

Allah forgives but His punishment is also severe

His knowledge covers everything

He is Wise, kind, and in full control

Learning about Him should make you think and reflect

And the Prophet Muhammad said: "If Allah wants good for someone, He gives them understanding of the religion." (HR. Al-Bukhari, 71; HR. Muslim 1037)
