Once Imam Ali (as) was asked, who is a believer? He answered as to what the characteristics of a believer should include, The believer is one with whom peoples life, wealth and dignity are safe. When powerful, he forgives easily. He is generous in appropriate ways. His behavior is gentle. His actions and walk reflect modesty. People enjoy his affection and calmness. He is ready to bear pain in order to comfort others. In friendship he is sincere. He honors his promises. He helps the oppressed and is concerned about the deprived. He does not abandon those in distress; he tries to relieve their burdens. He respects the rights of those who are absent. He accepts the apologies of those at fault. He assists those who have assisted him. He does not divulge (tell) peoples secrets. He does not inquire into secret affairs, which do not concern him. He sets a good example for those who succeed him. His good deeds are not performed for the sake of being boastful. He does not fall into the same difficulty twice.
