Page 80 - The Moral Values of the Qur'an

An important aspect of this virtue is keeping the
revelations of Allah in mind. In the Qur'an, this
important practice is emphasised in the following
verse: “And recite what is revealed to you in
yourhomes, of the Signs of Allah and His Wisdom:
for Allah understands the finest mysteries and is
well-acquainted (with them).” (Surat al-Ahzab, 33:34).
As long as believers keep the Qur’an’s verses in mind,
they will correctly construe their manifestations in
daily life and, in consequence, will feel closer to
Allah.

talk and affairs. They find no satisfaction in such
things and for them they are without value. They
become involved in worldly affairs only if some
benefit is to accrue to the cause of Allah. That is why
believers are described in Qur’an as those “who avoid
vain talk.” (Surat al-Mumenoon, 23:3)

The above verse emphasizes that when a believer
comes in contact with profane talk or events, he
should turn his back and do something else useful for
the divine Cause. This is the right behavior to please
