In a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2389, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, advised that righteousness is good character and a sin creates a negative internal feeling and its doer would dislike others finding out about it.
This Hadith indicates that the root of all good and righteousness is good character. This is when one fulfills their duty towards Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience. And it includes treating others in the same way they desire others to treat them. In fact, a person will not become a true believer until they love for others what they love for themself. This has been advised in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2515. Good character towards Allah, the Exalted, and people is important to adopt as it will be the heaviest thing in the Scales of Judgment Day and the person who possesses good character will gain the equivalent reward of the one who prays and fasts often. This has been advised in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2003.
The main Hadith under discussion also indicates how to judge one’s actions. A sin is something which creates a negative internal feeling and the sinner would dislike others finding about their actions. If a muslim adheres to this advice they will avoid the vast majority of sins as human beings have been created in a way which alerts them when they commit most sins. It is important to note, muslims must still strive to gain and act on knowledge as this internal warning does not occur with all sins and they will lose this warning system if they persist on the disobedience of Allah, the Exalted. But none the less, it is still an excellent deterrent from sins which muslims should pay heed to.
