How friendly and likeable is your behavior?
THE Muslim who truly understands the teachings of his religion is gentle, friendly and likeable. He mixes with people and gets along with them. This is something which should be a characteristic of the Muslim who understands that keeping in touch with people and earning their trust is one of the most important duties of a Muslim.
It is an effective means of conveying the message of truth to them, and exposing them to its moral values, because people only listen to those whom they like, trust and accept. Hence there are many Ahadith which commend the type of person who is friendly and liked by others. Such a person is one of those chosen ones who are beloved by the Prophet (peace be upon him) and will be closest to him on the Day of Resurrection.
"Shall I not tell you who among you is most beloved to me and will be closest to me on the Day of Resurrection?" He repeated it two or three times, and they said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)." He said, "Those of you who are the best in manners and character." (Ahmad; authentic) Some reports add, "Those who are down-to-earth and humble, who get along with others and with whom others feel comfortable."
One of the attributes of the believer is that he gets along with others and others feel comfortable with him.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The believer gets along with people and they feel comfortable with him. There is no goodness in the one who does not get along with people and with whom they do not feel comfortable." (Ahmad)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) set the highest example of good behavior towards people. He was skillful in softening their hearts and called them to follow him in word and deed.
He was always cheerful and easy-going, never harsh. When he came to any gathering, he would sit wherever there was an empty space, and he told others to do likewise. He treated everyone equally. If anyone came to him and asked for something, he would give it to him, or at least respond with kind words.

Should You Brag about yourself ?
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Allah has inspired to me that you are all to be humble towards each other such that no one transgresses against or exalts himself above another." [Sahih Muslim]
Commentary: Unfortunately, the tides have so turned, that we now consider it a mark of confidence to boast about ourselves. Whatever you have, is because Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) gave it to you or allowed you to have it; whether it is intelligence, looks, wealth, lineage, faith, character or anything else.
If someone thinks that they worked hard and achieved by their own merit alone what they got, they should look at all those who also work hard but do not reach their goals. If you studied hard and excelled, who made it possible for you to have the time to study? You could have been born into a family where children have to go to work to make ends meet.
If you excel in your business, who allowed you to accumulate the capital to begin it, or gave you the ideas for it, or prevented accidents from befalling it? Who gave you the health to work for your business and kept debilitating illness away from you?
If you pride yourself on your Islam, who put your ruh into a child being born to a Muslim couple? Had you been raised on some other religion would you have come to Islam on your own? Who has surrounded you with angels and allowed you to resist Shaitaan and not turn to Kufr?
Lineage or looks are even more obviously Allah given. Therefore, there is nothing at all for you to boast about.
Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) says, "Do not praise yourselves: He knows best who is God-fearing." [Al-Qur'an 53:32] The only thing worthy to boast about is taqwa. And Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) forbids boasting about that too. There are two reasons for this. One is that only Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) knows how good a person really is. And only His knowing matters. He (subhana wa ta'ala) is the one who will reward us for it.
The other reason we are not to boast is that it is contrary to taqwa. A person who has true awareness of Allah (taqwa) is painfully aware of their own shortcomings, their dependence on Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) and the many sins they commit knowingly and unknowingly. Therefore, a pious person is necessarily humble and modest and can never be a braggart (a person who does a lot of bragging).
