Peace,

I came across these exhortations in my reading of the Qur'an today. I was hoping others could post similar verses to help the believers work on improving their character.

Those who spend in prosperity and in adversity, and who control their wrath, and forgive men; and God loves the doers of good;
And those who, when they commit sexual immorality or wrong their souls, remember God, and ask forgiveness for their transgressions — and who forgives transgressions save God? — and persist not in what they did when they know.

(4:36)

Those who are miserly and enjoin miserliness upon men, and conceal what God has bestowed upon them of His bounty; and We have prepared for the false claimers of guidance a humiliating punishment;
(4:37)

O you who heed warning: stand firm with equity, witnesses to God, though it be against yourselves, or parents, or relatives; whether he be rich or poor, God is closer to both. So follow not vain desire lest you be unjust; and if you distort or evade, God is aware of what you do.
(4:135)
