Al-Qalam • Ayah 4 of 52 • Anglo-Saxon English
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
Translation:
And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character. Al-Qalam 68:4 ⧉
Tafsir:
Having a sublime character means rising above the standard of others’ behaviour. It should not be the believer’s way to deal badly with those who are not good to him, while giving fair treatment to those who are good to him. On the contrary, he should do good to everybody, even though others may not do the same for him. The character of the Prophet was of the latter type, which proves that he was a man of principle. He was not a product of circumstances, but of his own high principles. His sublime character was consistent with his claim to be a prophet.
