BE AN AMBASSADOR OF POSITIVITY An ambassador of goodwill is one who loves goodness, shuns negativity, takes positive things from others and conveys positivity and goodwill to them. A ccording to a tradition, the Prophet of Islam once observed: “Should I not tell you who are the worst of men?” Everyone said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.” The Prophet replied, “The worst of you are those who indulge in backbiting, who create differences between friends and who strive to find negative points in people.” (Adab al-Duniya wa-alDin, al-Mawardi, p. 422) In nature God has provided examples of all types of human character. These examples have been created so that a person may reflect on them and take lessons from them. And then he should develop a good character and be warned by the examples of bad character.
