Khuluquna: Our Character

There is a question that sounds simple, but is never easy to answer.

Who are you?

We often answer through the things that surround us, our name, work, qualifications, appearance, achievements, or the image people have of us. These may describe parts of our life, but they do not fully reveal who we are.

In the end, we are not remembered by everything we claimed to be, but by the character people experienced from us.

Khuluquna, Our Character, is an Islamic character development series that invites us to look at character beyond manners and outward behaviour.

Based on the book Khuluquna by Al-Habib Omar bin Hafiz, this journey explores the inner qualities that shape the kind of servant we are becoming, beginning with our relationship with Allah, then with people, and finally with our own selves.

This is not merely a class about manners. It is a class about ourselves, our hearts, and the kind of servants we are becoming.

Khuluquna unfolds across three main parts. Explore each part below for the dates, timings and details:

  • Dates: 29 July, 5, 12 & 19 August 2026
    Time: Wednesdays, 8.00pm to 9.30pm
    Duration: 4 sessions, 1.5 hours each, total 6 hours

    Our character begins with Allah.

    Before character appears in our words, relationships, and conduct with others, it begins with how the heart stands before Allah. This first part brings us back to the foundation of all character, the adab of being a servant before the One who sees what is outward and what is hidden.

    The focus was not simply on what we do for Allah, but on the kind of heart we bring to Him.

  • Dates: 14, 21 & 28 October 2026
    Time: Wednesdays, 8.00pm to 10.00pm
    Duration: 3 sessions, 2 hours each, total 6 hours

    Faith is not only revealed in worship. It is also revealed in the way we treat people.

    In Part 2, we turn towards our relationships with others, exploring the character that should shape the way we speak, respond, forgive, disagree, deal with hurt, and live alongside people whose personalities may be very different from our own.

    Because good character is often easiest to speak about, and hardest to practise when another human being is standing in front of us.
