noble

Being religious means being the wisest, the most modern, the highest quality, the most honorable person. The prophets were all the most modern people of their times.

Pride is a feeling that actually humiliates and degrades the proud. Humbleness and swallowing one’s pride and apologizing is truly noble.

It is noble to protect another when you are in need. It is noble for Turkey to host Syrians despite her own limited means.

Believers should always be elegant and refined. Their sense of humor is also refined. But crude people find revolting things funny. A cultured person refrains from such coarse behavior. Believers are better than responding to vulgarity with a similar attitude. Believers should act with nobility and honor in every situation.

Sometimes people are influenced by the choices of the majority. Instead, everyone should act independently, and with common sense.

Gentility is important. An environment in which people act crudely or a shallow person would be very disturbing. Vulgar people are very disturbing. Gentle people satisfy one's soul. No harm would come from a gentle person. There is even a Turkish proverb to that effect. They say; "a gentle person does not go astray, just as honey does not stink." That is a very well- known proverb. But one can expect anything from a banal person, from a crude person. They suck up to others, they manipulate others for their own interests, they behave egotistically. But a gentle, noble person would never stoop to such behaviors.
