P. 164
Those who honour their trusts and their contracts; (Qur'an, 23:8)
Be true to Allah's contract when you have agreed to it, and do not
break your oaths once they are confirmed and you have made
Allah your guarantee. Allah knows what you do. (Qur'an, 16:91)
No, the truth is, if people honour their contracts and have fear of
Him, Allah loves those who guard against evil. (Qur'an, 3:76)
THEY ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED
FOR EACH OTHER
The men and women of the believers are friends of one another.
They command what is right and forbid what is wrong, and
perform prayer and give alms, and obey Allah and His Messenger.
They are the people on whom Allah will have mercy. Allah is
Almighty, All-Wise. (Qur'an, 9:71)
My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and all who enter my house
as believers, and all the men and women of the believers. But do
not increase the wrongdoers except in ruin! (Qur'an, 71:28)
Those who have come after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our
brothers who preceded us in faith and do not put any ancour in
our hearts towards those who believe. Our Lord, You are All-
Gentle, Most Merciful.' (Qur'an, 59:10)
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of
Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills.
Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 5:54)
THEY ARE RESPECTFUL
AND GENTLE TOWARDS EACH OTHER
When you are greeted with a greeting, return the greeting or
improve on it. Allah takes account of everything. (Qur'an, 4:86)
