As-Salaam alaikum,
In a certain hadith, the Noble Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said:--
"Innamaa Bu'ithtu Li-Utammimu Makaarim al-akhlaaq..I have been
sent to perfect the best of conduct (your behaviour and character).'' (Bazzaar)
While commenting on this hadith at his public lecture on 26th September, 2012, in Jakarta, Indonesia, Maulana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, may Allah be Merciful to him, said that the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, was sent to perfect the characters of the Ummah without overlooking anything, making us immaculate, removing from us corrupt traits and taking us from Jaahiliyya (ignorance) to belief, from evil to good deeds.
Allah Ta'ala has commanded us to fulfill orders and leave prohibitions, such as bad character traits, and the orders are the categorical obligations. Bad traits are those we grow up with, such as lying, envy, avarice, anger etc.
Generally, our deeds in dunya are neither perfect nor perfected, so since the Prophet, alaihi salaat was-salaam, was "sent to perfect our characters", he himself will perfect our good characters and remove us from bad characters into the Ocean of Excellent virtues... and bring us among believers in the every best, pure and perfected state on the Day of Resurrection.
What do you think when you hear the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said: "Whoever sends salaat on me once, Allah sends salaat on them 10 times?'' For us, a single salaat ala Nabiy realizes absolute goodness and perfection because the blessings of Allah on us is not like ours. What do you think when we recite Salawaat in our own deficient way only once, and Allah blesses us 10 times? Does not such Divine Salawaat purify us? One single salawaat of Allah is enough to purify the entire ummah and grant it entry to Paradise without account! Look at [this] Divine Generosity!!!
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!! Wa-Lillahil Hamd!!!
