Do Others Notice a Gap in Character Among Muslims?

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I try my best to keep up with salah and treat people with basic decency, but honestly, I’m a bit disheartened by the Muslims around me. They don’t seem to reflect the character our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) taught-like modesty, love, and respect. Alhamdulillah, I’m blessed with good friends, both Muslim and non-Muslim, but in general, the Muslims I encounter lack the simple kindness I expect. I’m not claiming perfection myself, but I believe every human owes others respect and empathy at the very least. I just wish we’d focus more on the Prophet’s (PBUH) example to build better character. I’m not being prideful, just sad that I don’t see these basic traits being practiced. What are your thoughts, brothers and sisters? Jazakum Allahu khairan for reading. Wa alaikum assalam.

Honestly, it's exhausting. You try to be kind and then get ignored or treated poorly by your own people. It's like some only practice rituals without the heart. I pray your post wakes someone up.

Sis, I've been where you are. It hurts when you see Muslims not living up to the deen's beauty. But remember we're all flawed. Maybe we can be the change we want to see, starting with our own circles. JazakAllah khair for the reminder.

This is real. I've noticed it too-Muslims who pray but are harsh with their words. The Prophet (PBUH) said the best among you are those with the best character. We need a serious check on our akhlaq.
