Summary
Details

"How amazing is the human personality? We imitate the one that we admire. It's an inclination since the Creation. Therefore, the formation of human personality gives a special place to the admiration of those we love. To look like a loved one, to take as example his virtue, his personality and his dignity emerges from divine wisdom.

From this point of view, human beings need a wise, elegant and tender heart guide. Here we are, these are the prophets and after them their successors, the scholars and the devout rights, which our Lord has given to humanity as exemplary guides and figures who have for all their lives been pictures of virtue and purity.

As a result, they symbolized in their surroundings the imperishable beauty of precious treasures and brought to the world a ""civilization of virtues"".

Here are in summary, the benefits of virtues they have brought to humanity: the peace and freshness of souls, the healing of sick hearts, the comfort of hearts tired and saddened.

As Malik bin Dinar said:

""The beautiful parables of the pious servant are nothing else than gifts of Paradise.""

In summary, with regard to examples, each of the parables has been gratified to us with the value of precious pearls.
