LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN


             You who believe! Obey God and obey the Messenger and those in
             command among you. If you have a dispute about something, refer
             it back to God and the Messenger, if you believe in God and the Last
             Day. That is the best thing to do and gives the best result. (Surat an-

             Nisa’, 59)
             Remember God’s blessing to you and the covenant He made with
             you when you said, ‘We hear and we obey.’ Have fear of God. God
             knows what the heart contains. (Surat al-Ma’idah, 7)
             You who believe! Obey God and His Messenger. And do not turn
             away from him when you are able to hear. (Surat al-Anfal, 20)

             He will put your actions right for you and forgive you your wrong
             deeds. All who obey God and His Messenger have won a mighty
             victory. (Surat al-Ahzab, 71)
             You who believe! Obey God and obey the Messenger. Do not make
             your actions of no worth. (Surah Muhammad, 33)
             Obey God and obey the Messenger. But if you turn your backs, the
             Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission. (Surat at-

             Taghabun, 12)


             REFRAINING FROM ANY TURBULENT TONE OR
             BEHAVIOR AND CORRUPTION
             My people! Give full measure and full weight with justice; do not

             diminish people’s goods; and do not go about the earth, corrupting
             it. (Surah Hud, 85)
             And when Musa was looking for water for his people, We said,
             ‘Strike the rock with your staff.’ Then twelve fountains gushed out
             from it and all the people knew their drinking place. ‘Eat and drink
             of God’s provision and do not go about the earth corrupting it.’
             (Surat al-Baqarah, 60)
