Today let’s share about good behavior between
humans. This is one area where we can act as mirrors for each other – by giving
feedback. Non-Muslims can really help by reminding Muslims when we do not live
up to the Quranic guidance.
There are many verses on the subject, as like
the previous post so I will choose only 12. All emphasis are mine to help
readers focus on a particular message.
1. For,
[true] servants of the Most Gracious are [only] they who walk gently on earth, and who, whenever the foolish address them, reply with [words of] peace; Quran 25:63
2. AND
TELL My servants that they should speak
in the most kindly manner [unto those who do not share their beliefs]:
verily, Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men - for, verily,
Satan is man's open foe! - Quran 17:53
3. Have
you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its
branches [high] in the sky? It produces its fruit all the time, by permission
of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will
be reminded. And the example of a bad
word is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having
any stability. Quran 14:24-26
4. And
turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the
earth. Verily, Allah likes not each
arrogant boaster. Quran 31:18
5. And
not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel
[evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between
you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend. – Quran 41:34
6. Allah
does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do
not expel you from your homes - from
being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah
loves those who act justly. Quran 60:8
7. O
you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they
may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may
be better than them. And do not insult
one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched
is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent -
then it is those who are the wrongdoers.- Quran 49:11
8. O
you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah, witnesses in
justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.
And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.– Quran 5:8
9. There
shall be no compulsion in
[acceptance of] the religion. The
right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut
and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break
in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.– Quran 2:256
(Taghut
= one who rebels against God )
10. Who
spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the
people - and Allah loves the doers of good;– Quran 3:134
11. And
if someone is in hardship, then [let there be] postponement until [a time of]
ease. But if you give [from your right as] charity, then it is better for you, if you only knew. Quran 2:280
12. O
you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some
assumption is sin. And do not spy or
backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother
when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Accepting of
repentance and Merciful. Quran 49:12
Please do contribute more Quranic verse/s with
the same theme should you like too.
