Page 168 - Learning from the Qur'an

Marry off those among you who are unmarried and those of your
slaves and slavegirls who are righteous. If they are poor, Allah
will enrich them from His bounty. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-
Knowing. (Qur'an, 24:32)
THEY ARE RIGHTEOUS WITNESSES
Those who do not bear false witness and who, when they pass by
worthless talk, pass by with dignity; (Qur'an, 25:72)
Those who stand by their testimony; (Qur'an, 70:33)
Then when they have reached the end of their term either retain
them with correctness and courtesy or part from them with
correctness and courtesy. Call two upright men from among
yourselves as witnesses and they should carry out the witnessing
for Allah. This is admonishment for all who believe in Allah and
the Last Day. Whoever has fear of Allah – He will give him a way
out (Qur'an, 65:2)
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)
THEY TURN AWAY FROM WORTHLESS TALK
Those who do not bear false witness and who, when they pass by
worthless talk, pass by with dignity; (Qur'an, 25:72)
When they hear worthless talk they turn away from it and say,
'We have our actions and you have your actions. Peace be upon
you. We do not desire the company of the ignorant.' (Qur'an, 28:55)
Those who turn away from worthless talk; (Qur'an, 23:3)

THEY DO NOT GO
TO EXTREMES IN RELIGION
You who believe! Do not make forbidden the good things Allah has
made lawful for you, and do not overstep the limits. Allah does not
love people who overstep the limits. (Qur'an, 5:87)
