Allah

On the day of Resurrection, a good character and attitude will weigh most heavily in the balance of deeds. The best of the people will be the ones with the best attitude and they will be seated closest to the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him) on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2018) – who classed it as hasan – from Jaabir that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Among the dearest of you to me and those who will be seated closest to me on the Day of Resurrection are those of you who are best in attitude.”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.

Al-Bukhaari (6035) and Muslim (2321) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: “The best of you are the best of you in attitude.”

This is an encouragement for a Muslim to have a good attitude and also highlights the virtues of them and the person who possesses them. As it is the character of Prophets of Allah.

Al-Hasan al-Basri said:

The definition of a good attitude is doing acts of kindness, refraining from causing harm, and having a cheerful countenance.
