LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             Here are two rival groups who disputed concerning their Lord.
             Those who disbelieve will have garments of fire cut out for them,
             and boiling water poured over their heads. (Surat al-Hajj, 19)

             We have appointed for every nation a rite that they observe, so let
             them not dispute with you about the matter. Call the people to your
             Lord. You are guided straight. (Surat al-Hajj, 67)
             Will you then dispute with him concerning what he saw? (Surat
             an-Najm, 12)


             AVOID WASTING TIME IN POINTLESS
             ACTIVITIES AND IDLE CHATTER
             (Believers are) those who turn away from worthless talk. (Surat al-
             Mu’minun, 3)
             But there are some people who trade in distracting tales to misguide

             people from God’s Way knowing nothing about it and to make a
             mockery of it. Such people will have a humiliating punishment.
             (Surah Luqman, 6)
             They will hear no prattling in it (Gardens of Delight) nor any word
             of wrong. (Surat al-Waqi’ah, 25)
             (Believers are) those who do not bear false witness and who, when
             they pass by worthless talk, pass by with dignity. (Surat al-Furqan,

             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.’ (Surat al-Qasas, 55)
             They will not hear any prattling there–nothing but ‘Peace’. They
             will receive their provision there morning and night. (Surah

             Maryam, 62)
