Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Islamic Family Structure 12 Islamic Ethics in the Family Structure The Prophet (Pbuh) said: I recommend you to have good morality, since verily this will take you to heaven, and you should not be foul tempered since that will undoubtedly take you to Hell.

[Vasa'il, v.16, p.29, Al-i-Bayt Press] The Value of Good Morality It is necessary for parents to consider a few things which are repeatedly stressed in the Holy Quran for the sake of themselves and their children. It is not difficult to have good morals and avoid evil acts. It is easy to put morals into action and avoid unethical acts in a short period of time.

This will not only ease our progress on the highway towards God, but it will also strengthen our marriage; increase our mutual love; and serve as a lesson for others, especially our children. Mutual adherence to morals will create an atmosphere of love and affection; peace and security; and health and purity and will make all aspects of our life delightful. In several verses, the Holy Quran has praised the noble Prophet for being good-tempered and adhering to this attribute.

It is part of the Mercy of God that thou dost deal gently with them. Wert thou severe or harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about thee: [Holy Quran: Al-i-Imran 3:159] And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character. [Holy Quran: Qalam 68:4] The Prophet (Pbuh) said: Islam means being good-tempered. [Mizan al-Hikmat , v.3, pp.137-138] Imam Mujtaba (Pbuh) said: The best goodness is a good temper.

[Ibid] The Prophet (Pbuh) said: Good temper is accompanied by the good of this world and the Hereafter. [Ibid] Imam Ali (Pbuh) said: A good temper is at the head of all goodness. [Ibid] The sixth Imam (Pbuh) said: There is not a better life than that of the one with a good temper. [Bihar al-Anwar , v.71, pp.388-389] The Prophet (Pbuh) said: God will raise the position of the one who is good-tempered to that of the one who fasts and stays up at night standing in prayer.

[Ibid] He also said: The first thing that is counted on the Day of Judgment is one's good temper. [Bihar al-Anwar , v.71, p.385] He also said: The one dearest and closest to me amongst you in the Hereafter is the one with the best temper, and the humblest. [Ibid] The Prophet (Pbuh) told the Commander of the Faithful (Pbuh): Shall I inform you of your closest trait to me? He answered yes.
