TO EAT LAWFUL FOOD
So eat from what Allah has provided for you, lawful and good,
and be thankful for the blessing of Allah if it is Him you worship.
(Qur'an, 16:114)
NOT TO TAKE THOSE WHO DO
NOT MIGRATE AS FRIENDS
Those who believe and have migrated and strived with their
wealth and themselves in the Way of Allah, and those who have
given refuge and help, they are the friends and protectors of one
another. But as for those who believe but have not migrated, you
are not in any way responsible for their protection until they
migrate. But if they ask you for help in respect of the religion, it
is your duty to help them, except against people you have a treaty
with. Allah sees what you do. (Qur'an, 8:72)
TO FULFIL PROMISES AND CONTRACTS
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)
Those who fulfil Allah's contract and do not break their agreement.
(Qur'an, 13:20)
Those who honour their trusts and contracts. (Qur'an, 70:32)
TO BE TRUE TO ALLAH'S CONTRACT
WHEN ONE HAS AGREED TO IT
But as for those who break Allah's contract after it has been agreed
and sever what Allah has commanded to be joined, and cause
corruption in the earth, the curse will be upon them. They will
have the Evil Abode. (Qur'an, 13:25)
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)
