Page 154 - Learning from the Qur'an

You who believe! Do not profane the sacred rites of Allah or the
sacred months, or the sacrificial animals, or the ritual garlands, or
those heading for the Sacred House, desiring profit and good
pleasure from their Lord. When you have come out of pilgrim
dress, then you may hunt. Do not let hatred for a people who debar
you from the Masjid al-Haram incite you into going beyond the
limits. Help each other to goodness and heedfulness. Do not help
each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution. (Qur'an, 5:2)
You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of Allah, bearing
witness with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into
not being just. Be just. That is closer to heedfulness. Have fear of
Allah. Allah is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 5:8)
You who believe! Be upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allah
alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives.
Whether they are rich or poor, Allah is nearer to them. Do not
follow your own desires and deviate from the truth. If you twist
or turn away, Allah is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 4:135)
If two parties of the believers fight, make peace between them.
But if one of them attacks the other unjustly, fight the attackers
until they revert to Allah's command. If they revert, make peace
between them with justice, and be even-handed. Allah loves those
who are even-handed. (Qur'an, 49:9)
Allah does not forbid you from being good to those who have not
fought you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from
being just towards them. Allah loves those who are just. (Qur'an,
60:8)

THEY ARE HUMBLE
We have appointed a rite of sacrifice for every nation so that they
may invoke Allah's name over the livestock He has given them.
Your God is One God so submit to Him. Give good news to the
humble-hearted, (Qur'an, 22:34)
