Abstract:
This research aims to collect a number of hadiths that encourage good character and highlight the ethical stances of the Prophet, (pbuh) analyzing these hadiths objectively. The study follows an inductive analytical approach. Its main findings include:  Islam places great emphasis on the moral development of individuals, integrating good character into all aspects of religion, as the entire religion is based on ethical conduct. Good character is a trait of Prophets, Messengers, and the best among believers. Noble character is a priority in Islam, which encourages commitment to virtuous behavior and emulating the exemplary character of the Prophet (pbuh). The Muslim is commanded to show good character to all people-Muslim and non-Muslim alike-in the hope of guiding them and showcasing the virtues of this righteous religion.
