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)
