Note 1
(1) His statement: “Every religion has a character”: The meaning is that every religion has a dominant trait among its followers, other than modesty. The dominant trait of our religion’s followers is modesty, as it completes noble character, and the Prophet was sent to perfect noble character. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)
Note 1
(۱) قوله: إن لكل دين خلقا إلخ والمعنى أن الغالب على أهل كل دين سجية سوى الحياء. والغالب على أهل ديننا الحياء؛ لأنه متمم لمكارم الأخلاق، وإنما بعث لإتمامها. كذا في «المرقاة».
