Don’t Corrupt Your Personality What should be the right attitude for a person in the present world and which path will lead him to success? When he receives a divine reminder, he should keep an open heart and immediately become attentive to it. He should adopt it willingly in his life and neither wealth nor children should become an obstacle in this path. The feeling of love in a human being is innate. For instance, there is his love of wealth and children. This feeling is meant to put a person to the test. It is meant to show that, even in his pursuit of the things he loves, no matter how attractive they may be, he does not forget God. Indeed, all his attention is still given to his Creator. DON’T CORRUPT YOUR PERSONALITY One who develops a virtuous personality succeeds, and one who corrupts his personality fails, in the present world as well as in the Hereafter. O n the subject of the human soul, chapter 91 of the Quran says: “He who purifies it will indeed be successful and he who corrupts it is sure to fail.” (91:9-10)
