Description

This collection of writings explores the concept of character and virtue from Islamic and other sources. Organized thematically, it presents an ideal of human virtue within the context of the Qur'an and Hadith, alongside examples from diverse traditions.

From Buddhist to Christian, and ancient to modern, this volume draws on a wide range of sources to illustrate key virtues such as humility, courage, generosity, clarity, perseverance, purity, and inner peace. Camille Adams Helminski's work offers a nuanced understanding of human nature and the pursuit of moral excellence.
