Spirituality vs. Character

Keep in mind that with your spirituality also comes your conscious and aware character you present to the people.

Ibn al-Qayyim (rh) said, “The religion itself is entirely good character, so whoever surpasses you in character has surpassed you in religion.” Ponder upon this. No, this does not belittle `ibadah. It only increases it. Like Imām al-Ghazālī (rh) put it, “Good character is a disposition deeply ingrained in the soul from which beautiful acts spring easily.” It all points to the worship of God.
