Allah
Azzawajal says in the Quran, “O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you
from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many
men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs.
Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.” (4:1)
Allah
Almighty created all human beings from one soul i.e. Hazrat Adam (peace be upon
him) and from it its mate i.e. Hazrat Eve (Hawwa, may Allah be pleased with
her)
The Qur'an
contains wonderful details about the origin of mankind, the stages of creation,
and the human psyche, and why not, because humankind was created by Allah
Azzawajal, and who knows humankind better than the one who created him? Allah
explicitly states this fact in the Qur'an, “What! Will He Who has created not
know? Whereas He knows every detail, the All-Aware!” (67:14)
The Qur'an
beautifully describes man's position in the sight of God, his strengths and
weaknesses, positive and negative aspects, strengths and weaknesses, as well as
the correct use of power and ways to overcome weaknesses. All of these details
are fascinating and beneficial to those who meditate on the Qur'an.
According
to the Holy Qur'an, Allah Almighty has made man more honourable than other
creatures.
“Indeed We have honoured the Descendants of
Adam and transported them over land and sea, and gave them good things as
sustenance, and made them better than most of Our creation.” (17:70)
Honouring
mankind, Allah Azzawajal has endowed them with intellect, knowledge, eloquence,
pure form, and moderate stature, and taught them how to beautify this world and
the hereafter.
The
condition of Human beings, on the other hand, is deteriorating by the day. Man
is becoming a victim of deception today by forgetting the teachings given for
the betterment of this world and the next. The modern man has lost sight of
morals and character. One man has turned against the life, property, and honour
of another. The world is on the verge of collapse, and there is a pervasive
sense of war and murder everywhere. To avoid this disaster, we must first
recognise human values and good manners toward one another and constantly
practise them while keeping them in mind. The seventy-five excellent Quranic
teachings listed below are extremely important to us.
1· Do Not Be Rude In Speech.
Allah
Almighty says, “So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with
them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have
disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and
consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah.
Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him]” (3:159)
2. Restrain Anger
Allah
Almighty says, “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” (3:134)
3. Be Good To Others
“Worship
Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives,
orphans, the needy, the near neighbour, the neighbour farther away, the
companion at your side, the traveller, and those whom your right hands possess.
Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful” (4:36)
4. Do Not Be Arrogant
“[Allah]
said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant
therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.” (7:13)
5. Forgive Others For Their Mistakes
“And [O
dear Prophet (Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) adopt forgiveness,
and enjoin virtue, and turn away from the ignorant.” (7:199)
6. Speak To People Courteously
“And speak
to him courteously, that perhaps he may ponder or have some fear.” (20:44)
7. Lower Your Voice
“And be
moderate in your pace and lower your voice; indeed, the most disagreeable of
sounds is the voice of donkeys.” (31:19)
8. Do Not Ridicule Others
“O People
who Believe! Men must not ridicule other men for it could be that the ridiculed
are better than the mockers, nor must the women ridicule other women for the
ridiculed women may be better than the mockers and do not insult one another,
nor assign evil nicknames; how base it is to be called a sinner after being a
Muslim! And whoever does not repent – then it is they who are unjust.” (49:11)
9. Treat the Parents with Kindness
“And your
Lord has ordained that you do not worship anyone except Him, and treat your
parents with kindness; if either of them or both reach old age in your presence,
do not say “Uff”* to them and do not rebuff them, and speak to them with the
utmost respect. (* Any expression of disgust)” (17:23)
10. Speak To The Parents With Utmost Respect.
See it in
the above mentioned Ayat (17:23)
11. Do Not Enter Parents’ Private Room without
Asking Permission
“O you who
have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not
[yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at
three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for
rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy
for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for
they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does
Allah make clear to you the verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.” (24:58)
12. Write down the Debt with Accuracy and Take
Witnesses Whenever Trade Is Performed
“O People
who Believe! If you make an agreement for debt for a specified time, write it
down; and appoint a scribe to write it for you with accuracy; and the scribe
must not refuse to write in the manner Allah has taught him, so he must write;
and the liable person (debtor) should dictate it to him and fear Allah, Who is
his Lord, and not hide anything of the truth; but if the debtor is of poor
reasoning, or weak, or unable to dictate, then his guardian must dictate with
justice; and appoint two witnesses from your men; then if two men are not
available, one man and two women from those you would prefer to be witnesses,
so that if one of them forgets, the other can remind her; and the witnesses
must not refuse when called upon to testify; do not feel burdened to write it,
whether the transaction is small or big – write it for up to its term’s end;
this is closer to justice before Allah and will be a strong evidence and more
convenient to dispel doubts amongst yourselves – except when it is an instant
trade in hich exchange is carried out immediately, there is no sin on you if it
is not written down; and take witnesses whenever you perform trade; and neither
the scribe nor the witnesses be caused any harm (or they cause any harm); and
if you do, it would be an offence on your part; and fear Allah; and Allah
teaches you; and Allah knows everything.” (2:282)
13. Do Not Follow The Forefathers Blindly But
Follow The Quran
“And when
it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has sent down”, hey say, “On the
contrary, we shall follow what we found our forefathers upon”; What! Even if
their forefathers had no intelligence or guidance?!” (2:170)
14. Grant More Time To Repay If the Debtor Is
In a Hard Time
“And if the
debtor is in difficulty, give him respite till the time of ease; and your
foregoing the entire debt from him is still better for you, if only you
realise.” (2:280)
15. Don’t Consume Interest
“Those who
devour interest (usury) will not stand up on the Day of Judgment, except like
the one whom an evil jinn has deranged by his touch; that is because they said,
“Trade is also like usury!”; whereas Allah has made trading lawful and
forbidden usury; for one to whom the guidance has come from his Lord, and he
refrained therefrom, is lawful what he has taken in the past; and his affair is
with Allah; and whoever continues earning it henceforth, is of the people of
fire; they will remain in it for ages.” (2:275)
16. Do
Not Engage In Bribery
“And do not
consume one another's wealth unjustly or send it [in bribery] to the rulers in
order that [they might aid] you [to] consume a portion of the wealth of the
people in sin, while you know [it is unlawful]” (2:188)
17. Do
Not Break the Promise
“Righteousness
is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true]
righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the
Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives,
orphans, the needy, the traveller, those who ask [for help], and for freeing
slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives Zakah; [those who] fulfill their
promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship
and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who
are righteous.” (2:177)
18. Keep
The Trust
“And if you
are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be]
taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge
his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal
testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allah is
Knowing of what you do.” (2:283)
19. Do
Not Mix the Truth with Falsehood
“And do not
mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].” (2:42)
20.
Judge with Justice between People
“Indeed,
Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge
between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs
you. Indeed, Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing.” (4:58)
21.
Stand Out Firmly For Justice
“O you who
have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah,
even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich
or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] inclination,
lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give
it], then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, Acquainted.” (4:135)
22.
Wealth Of The Dead Should Be Distributed Among His Family Members
“For men is
a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share
of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an
obligatory share.” (4:7)
23.
Women Also Have The Right For Inheritance
“….and for
women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or
much - an obligatory share.” (4:7)
24. Do
Not Devour The Property Of Orphans
“Indeed,
those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their
bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze.” (4:10)
25.
Protect Orphans
“Before you
execute your deeds of this world and of the Hereafter; and they ask you the
decree regarding orphans; say, “To do good towards them is better; and if you
combine your expenses with theirs, they are your brothers”; and Allah knows
very well the one who spoils from him who improves; and if Allah willed, He
could have put you in hardship; and Allah is Almighty, Wise.” (2:220)
26. Do Not
Consume One Another’s Wealth Unjustly
“O People
who Believe! Do not unjustly devour the property of each other, except through
trade by mutual agreement; and do not kill one another; indeed Allah is Most
Merciful upon you.” (4:29)
27. Try
For Settlement Between People
“And if two
groups of Muslims fight against each other, reconcile them; and if one of them
oppresses the other, fight against the oppressor till it returns to the command
of Allah; then if it returns, reconcile between them with justice, and be fair;
indeed Allah loves the equitable.” (49:9)
28.
Avoid Suspicion
“O People
who Believe! Avoid excessive assumptions; indeed assumption sometimes becomes a
sin, and do not seek faults, and do not slander one another; would anyone among
you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? So you will hate that! And fear
Allah; indeed Allah is Most Acceptor of Repentance, Most Merciful.” (49:12)
29. Do
Not Spy Or Backbite
“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.” (49:12)
30.
Spend Wealth In Charity
“Believe in
Allah and His Messenger and spend out of that in which He has made you
successors. For those who have believed among you and spent, there will be a
great reward.” (57:7)
31. Seek
forgiveness of Allah. He is Forgiving and Merciful
“And
whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It
is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah
is Forgiving and Merciful” (73:20)
32.
Encourage Feeding Poor
“Just look
at him, who belies the religion! So it is he, who pushes away the orphan, And
does not urge to feed the needy." (107:1-3)
33. Help
Those In Need By Finding Them
“(Spend)
For the poor who are restricted while in Allah's cause, who cannot travel in
the land (for earning) – the unwise think they are wealthy because of their
restraint; you will recognize them by their faces; they do not seek from people
in order to avoid grovelling, and Allah knows whatever you spend in charity.”
(2:273)
34. Do
Not Spend Money Extravagantly
“And do not
make your hand [as] chained to your neck or extend it completely and [thereby]
become blamed and insolvent.” (17:29)
35. Do
Not Invalidate Charity with Reminders
“O People
who Believe! Do not invalidate your charity by expressing favour and causing
injury – like one who spends his wealth for people to see, and does not believe
in Allah and the Last Day; his example is similar to that of a rock covered
with dust and a hard rain fell on it, leaving it as a bare rock; they shall get
no control over (or benefit from) anything they have earned, and Allah does not
guide the disbelievers.” (2:264)
36.
Honour Guests
This is
inferred from the Quranic verses 51: 24-27.
It is
reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever believes in God
and the Last Day, let him honour his neighbour; whoever believes in God and the
Last Day, let him honour his guest as he is entitled." It was said,
"What is his entitlement, O Messenger of God?" He said, "[The
best treatment] for one day and one night; and hospitality is for three days,
and anything after that is charity bestowed upon him. And whoever believes in God and the Last Day,
let him, speak good words or else remain silent.” (Sahih Bukhari)
37.
Order Righteousness to People Only After Practicing It Yourself
“Do you
order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the
Scripture? Then will you not reason?” (2:44)
38. Do
Not Commit Abuse on the Earth
“And
[recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, "Strike
with your staff the stone." And there gushed forth from it twelve springs,
and every people knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the
provision of Allah, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading
corruption.” (2:60)
39. Do
Not Prevent People from Mosques
“And who is
more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in
His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter
them except in fear. For them in this world is a disgrace, and they will have
in the Hereafter a great punishment.”
(2:114)
40. Do
Not Be the Transgressors
“Do not
exceed the limits, and Allah does not like the transgressors.” (2:190)
41.
Treat Non-Muslims in a Kind and Fair Manner
“Allah does
not forbid you from those who did not fight against you because of religion and
did not drive you out from your homes, that you should be kind towards them and
deal with them fairly; indeed the equitable are the beloved of Allah.” (60:8)
42. Save
Yourself from Covetousness
“Therefore
fear Allah as much as possible, and heed the commands, and obey, and spend in
Allah’s cause, for your own good; and whoever is rescued from the greed of his
own soul – is they who will be successful. (64:16)
43. Do
Not Force Non-Muslims to Accept Islam
“There is
no compulsion at all in religion; undoubtedly the right path has become very
distinct from error, and whoever rejects faith in the devil (false deities) and
believes in Allah has grasped a very firm handhold; it will never loosen; and
Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” (2:256)
44.
Believe In All Prophets
“The Noble
Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him by his Lord, and so do the
believers; all have accepted faith in Allah and His angels and His Books and
His Noble Messengers; saying, “We do not make any distinction, in believing,
between any of His Noble Messengers”; and they said, “We hear, and we obey;
Your forgiveness be granted, O our Lord, and towards You is our return.”
(2:285)
45.
Those Who Have Knowledge Will Be Given a Higher Degree By Allah
“Allah will
raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by
degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.” (58:11)
46.
Decide On Affairs By Consultation
“And those
who obeyed the command of their Lord and kept the prayer established; and whose
affairs are with mutual consultation; and who spend in Our cause from what We
have bestowed upon them.” (42:38)
47.
Repel Evil By Good
“And the
good deed and the evil deed will never be equal; O listener! Repel the evil
deed with a good one, thereupon the one between whom and you was enmity, will
become like a close friend.” (41:34)
This verse
implies that people should repel anger with patience, error with truth,
ignorance with clemency and the commission of evil with the pardon. Such
virtuous deeds can lead to reconciliation, love and empathy.
In this
vein, many scholars quote a hadith that is taken to be a foundation principle
of Islamic laws, “let there be no harming and no reciprocating harm”. Another
Hadith says, “Keep relations with those who cut them off with you, give to
those who deny you, and ignore those who oppress you”.
48.
Choose Rulers By Their Merit
“And their
prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a king."
They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of
kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He
said, "Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased him
abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He
wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favour] and Knowing." (2:247)
49. Do
Not Burden A Person Beyond His Scope
“Allah does
not burden anyone, except with something within its capacity...” (2:286)
50.
Enjoin Good Deeds And Forbid Immorality
“You are
the best among all the nations that were raised among mankind – you enjoin good
deeds and forbid immorality and you believe in Allah, and if the People given
the Book(s) believed it would be better for them; some of them are believers
(Muslims) and most of them are disbelievers” (3:103)
51.
Think Deeply About The Wonders And Creation Of This Universe
“..Those
who remember Allah while standing, and sitting, and reclining on their sides,
and ponder about the creation of the heavens and the earth; “O our Lord! You
have not created this without purpose; Purity is to You, therefore save us from
the punishment of fire.” (3:191)
52. Men
And Women Have Equal Rewards For Their Deeds
“So their
Lord accepted their prayer, for I do not waste the efforts of any (righteous)
worker, male or female; you are all one among yourselves..” (3:195)
53. Do
Not Marry Those In Your Blood Relation
“Forbidden
for you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your
father’s sisters, and your mother’s sisters, and your brothers’ daughters and
your sisters’ daughters, and your foster-mothers (who breast-fed you), and
their daughters (your foster-sisters), and your wives’ mothers
(mothers-in-law), and your wives’ daughters who are under your protection –
born of the women with whom you have cohabited; and if you have not cohabited
with them, then it is no sin for you to marry their daughters; and (forbidden
are) the wives of your own sons (and foster-sons and grandsons) and the keeping
of two sisters together in marriage, except what has already passed; indeed
Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (4:23)
54.
Family Should Be Led By Men
“Men are in
charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what
they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly
obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard.
But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if
they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they
obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted
and Grand.” (4:34)
55. Do
Not Be Miserly
“…Those who
are misers and preach miserliness to others, and hide what Allah has bestowed
upon them from His munificence; and We have kept ready a disgraceful punishment
for the disbelievers.” (4:37)
56. Do
Not Keep Envy
“Or do they
envy people due to what Allah has given them from His grace? In that case, We
bestowed the Book and the wisdom upon the family of Ibrahim (Abraham), and We
gave them a great kingdom.” (4:54)
57. Do
Not Kill Each Other
“It is not
rightful for a Muslim to kill another Muslim unless it occurs by mistake; and
the one who mistakenly kills a Muslim must set free a Muslim slave and pay
blood-money to the family of the slain, except if they forego it; and if the
victim is of a people who are hostile to you, and the killer is a Muslim, then
only the setting free of a Muslim slave (is obligatory); and if the victim is
from a people between whom and you there is a treaty, then blood-money must be
paid to his family and the setting free of a Muslim slave; therefore one who
has no means must fast for two consecutive months; this is his penance before
Allah; and Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.”
(4:92)
58. Do
Not Be An Advocate For Deceit
“Indeed, We
have revealed to you the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by
that which Allah has shown you. And do not be for the deceitful an advocate.”
(4:105)
59. Do
Not Cooperate In Sin and Aggression
“Do not
cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in
penalty.” (5:2)
60.
Cooperate In Righteousness
“And
cooperate in righteousness and piety” (5:2)
61.
Invitation To God Should Be With Wisdom And Good Instruction
“Invite to
the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a
way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His
way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.” (16:125)
The term
good instruction can also mean instruction given in the Quran or the one which
is done sincerely for the benefit of human beings in a non-compulsive and
gentle way that softens hearts.
62. Be
Just
“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. (5:8)
This ayat
teaches Muslims that to stand for justice against friends and enemies is to stand
for God. Justice for enemies here means that one should not treat the enemies
in a manner that exceeds the limits mentioned in the Divine Book of Allah.
63. No
One Will Bear Others’ Sins
“Whoever is
guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul. And whoever errs only errs
against it. And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And never
would We punish until We sent a messenger.” (17:15)
This verse
means that no person will be accountable for the misdeeds of others. Every
person is responsible for his deeds or misdeeds. Some lead others astray, yet
those who are thus misguided will bear the consequences of their sins by
themselves. There are also verses that indicate that those who mislead people
will bear an additional burden. (see 7:38)
64.
Strive Against Sinful And Unlawful Acts
“Why do the
rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and
devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.”
(5:63)
It is the
responsibility of religious scholars to forbid people from committing sinful
acts. This verse, according to Hazrat Ibn Abbas, is among the most frightening
Quranic verses perhaps due to the warning given to those who have religious
knowledge but who fail to practice moral responsibilities incumbent upon such
knowledgeable people.
65. Dead
Animals, Blood, the Flesh Of Swine Are Prohibited
This is
clearly mentioned in this full Quranic verse, “Prohibited to you are dead
animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other
than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by
a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal
has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and
those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek
decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those
who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not,
but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My
favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is
forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is
Forgiving and Merciful” (5:3)
66.
Avoid Intoxicants And Alcohol
“O you who
have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to
other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of
Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” (5:90)
67. Do
Not Gamble
“O you who
have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to
other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of
Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” (5:90)
68. Do
Not Insult Others’ Deities
“And do not
insult those they invoke other than Allah, lest they insult Allah in enmity
without knowledge. Thus We have made pleasing to every community their deeds.
Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they
used to do.” (6:108)
69. Don’t
Reduce Weight Or Measure To Cheat People
“And do not
approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches
maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any
soul except [with that within] its capacity. And when you testify, be just,
even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the covenant of Allah fulfil. This
has He instructed you that you may remember.” (6:152)
70. Eat
And Drink, But Do Not Be Excessive
“O children
of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not
excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.” (7:31)
71. Wear
Good Clothes during Prayer Times
“O children
of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not
excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.” (7:31)
72.
Protect and Help Those Who Seek Protection
“And if any
one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that
he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That
is because they are a people who do not know.” (9:6)
73. Keep
Purity
“Do not
stand [for prayer] within it - ever. A mosque founded on righteousness from the
first day is more worthy for you to stand in. Within it are men who love to
purify themselves, and Allah loves those who purify themselves.” (9:108)
74.
Never Give Up Hope Of Allah’s Mercy
“O my sons,
go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair, not of relief from
Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving
people." (12:87)
75.
Allah Will Forgive Those Who Repent After Committing Sins Out Of Ignorance
“Then,
indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent
after that and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving
and Merciful.” (16:119)
May God
Almighty grant His blessings to remember and practice these human values and
good manners!
