    4 Cardinal Virtues in Islam

    WISDOM
    The concept of wisdom in Islam denotes the combination of fikr
    (thinking) and zikr (remembrance). For to live with wisdom is to live
    with purpose, to live a better life or rather the best of life for you will
    attain the pleasure of God which is our ultimate goal as insane and the
    attainment of worldly riches.

    According to Shirazi wisdom, is the highest and noblest form of


    knowledge (Baker, 2006) this means the knowledge of right and wrong,
    sound moral character and making decision for the long run. Al-Qasami
    highlighted that wisdom means being perfect in knowledge and acting
    correctly according to that knowledge. Similarly, Syed Qutb described
    wisdom as being moderate and balanced in all matters having a deep
    understanding of the unseen causes of things and the ability to see the
    long-term aim of any course of action, he further argued that wisdom
    can also mean the insight which leads an individual to do the right thing
    ethically in speech and action. In other words, wisdom definition based
    on the Quran centers upon knowledge, insight perfection, ethical
    conduct, preventing oppression and ignorance (Aljughaiman and Berki,
    2013).

    COURAGE
    Our Islamic history is rich with inspirational examples of
    courageous people who embodied bold spiritually rooted
    confidence in the face of the most unthinkable situations. When
    they relied upon Allah, their courage took on an even greater
    form, which enabled them to take on bigger tasks. Their actions
    reverberated for centuries afterwards, affecting generations of
    people and their faith. Their courage was nourished and nurtured
    by their love, reliance, and Yaqeen in Allah and that gave them
    superhuman-like strength to stand firm in the face of huge tests.

    For example, Nusaybah Bint Ka’ab (radiyallahu anha) was the


    first female warrior in Islam. During the battle of Uhud, Muslims
    started to flee the scene as they faced impending defeat. Upon
    seeing this, Nusaybah ran in the opposite direction straight into
    battle to shield the Prophet (saw). She fought so bravely to
    protect him, that he made duaa for her and her family on the
    battlefield itself.

    TEMPERANCE
    The virtue in the appetitive faculty is temperance, whose sub-
    virtues include moderation, tranquillity, and contentment. There
    are also spiritual sicknesses originating from the appetitive
    faculty like greed, sloth, and sorrow. To take an example,
    sorrow (ḥuzn) is defined as great sadness resulting from not
    attaining what is desired from worldly pleasures and physical
    desires. It is considered a spiritual sickness (or a psychological
    malady) originating from an excess in human appetites. Its
    treatment is to know that all things in this world, including
    feelings of joy and sorrow, are subject to generation and
    corruption. So, if our happiness relies on perishable things, it is
    quite unintelligent and will succumb to frequent sadness and
    disappointment. Intelligent people should seek permanent
    things — such as knowledge of higher matters, immaterial
    entities, and rational thought. Such intelligent people will not
    fall into excessive sorrow when they lose perishable things.

    JUSTICE
    Justice is a virtue of the soul which it gets from the union of the
    three virtues, when the three faculties act in harmony one with
    another and submit to the discerning faculties so that they do
    not combat among themselves or follow their desires according
    to the dictates of their natures. The fruit of this virtue is the
    acquisition of an attitude which induces the person to choose
    always to be fair to himself in the first place, and, then, to be
    fair to others and to demand fairness from them.

    Justice, like the others, has sub-virtues such as true love and
    friendship (sadāqah) and consensus and union in helping the
    management of livelihood (ulfah).
