وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ
And deal with people in a manner of good character.

The conjunction وَ links this instruction to the previous clauses. Here خَالِقِ is an imperative meaning “deal with” or “treat,” and should not be confused with the noun الْخَالِق (“the Creator”). النَّاسَ is the object, while بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ describes the manner: “with good character.”

This separately numbered phrase continues the longer Prophetic advice begun in item 144. Being mindful of Allah, correcting one’s own conduct, and treating others well belong together.
