Tahir Wyatt - Good Character

About this lecture

In this episode of a weekly Islamic discussion show, host Ismael Bullock sits down with Sheikh Dr. Tahir Wyatt — a Philadelphia-born scholar who studied and taught at the Prophet's Masjid in Medina — for an in-depth conversation on the Islamic concept of good character (husn al-khuluq). Drawing on key Hadith and Quranic verses, Sheikh Tahir explains that true good character encompasses three dimensions: one's relationship with Allah, one's relationship with oneself, and one's conduct toward others — from parents and spouses to children and neighbors. The discussion also covers practical steps for attaining taqwa, the mechanics of Tawbah (repentance), and powerful du'as the Prophet ﷺ himself made to seek good character and Allah's forgiveness.
