Muslims are charged with protecting the poor, helping the
abandoned and protecting orphans, helpless women and men,
children and the elderly. In one verse, for example, God has
commanded people not even to say "Ugh!" to their parents
(Surat al-Isra', 23) and always to "say the best" to one another
(Surat al-Isra', 53). In another verse, God reveals: "... if someone
kills another person—unless it is in retaliation for someone
else or for causing corruption in the Earth—it is as if he had
murdered all humanity. And if anyone gives life to another
person, it is as if he had given life to all humanity." (Surat al-
Ma'ida, 32)
It's a manifest truth that a society where everyone regards
every human being as having reason and conscience, as valu-
able and important will be filled with peace, security, love and
respect.
