And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say Peace. Those who spend the night in adoration of their Lord prostrating and standing. Those who say, our Lord avert from us the wrath of hell for its wrath is indeed an affliction grievous, evil indeed is it as an abode, and as a place to rest in.
Those who, when they spend, are not Extravagant and not miserly, but hold a just (balance) between those (extremes). Those who do not invoke, with Allah, any other God, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause, nor commit fornication; and any that does this (not only) meets punishment, (but) the penalty on the day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy.
Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil Of such persons into good, and Allah is oft- Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with true repentance. Those who witness no Falsehood, and if they pass by futility, they pass it with honorable (avoidance). Those who, when they are admonished with signs of their Lord droop not down at them as if they were deaf and blind.
And those who pray our Lord! Grant to us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous. Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy, therein shall they be met with salutations and peace. Dwelling therein; how beautiful an abode and place of rest. 25/63-76
Allah swt says in the Holy Qur’an, addressing the Prophet Muhammad pbuh: And you (stand) on an exalted standard of character. 68/4 Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: I was only raised (as a Messenger of Allah) to perfect the teachings of high morals. (Malik: a famous book of Hadith)
There is very strong connection between the moral and religious values. A believer who is weak in his/her moral behavior is considered to be weak in his faith. We will learn today about This deep connection between the personality and the behavior by bringing the examples of five pillars of Islam: 1. Iman and the stories of Muslims 2. Salah and the Hadith Qudsi 3. Zakah and Tha’labah, & conditions of its validity 4. Siyam And what makes it meaningful 5. Hajj and the story of the shoe maker of Baghdad.
Prophet Muhammad pbuh, was not one who would talk evil or convey evil and he used to Say, the best among you are the best in Character. Bukhari. Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: Surely Allah is kind And He loves kindness, and He gives (rewards) on Kinds which He will not on violance or on any Other thing. (Muslim). Abdullah ibn Harith narrated: I have never seen any One more frequently smiling than Prophet Muhammad pbuh. (Tirmidhi).
Prophet Muhammad pbuh said: If Allah swt intends to do good to any people, He will let the wise men become their Leaders, and He will let tolerating generous people to become their rich ones. And if Allah intends to do bad to any people, He will let the foolish people become their leaders and He will let The stingy people become their rich ones. (Abu Dawud).

Conclusion: There is no doubt that a Muslim Who fulfills all his/her religious duties yet violates the rights of others, has most definitely missed the real meaning of Faith in God. Such person should renew his/her Iman and start learning from scratch to find out where he/she has gone wrong. In Islam the protection of rights of others, just like your own is the only way to enjoy the true Faith in Allah swt.
