LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

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)

And those who stand firm in their testimonies. (Surat al-
Ma`arij, 33)
You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of God, 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
God. God is aware of what you do. (Surat al-Ma’idah, 8)

…But if you do judge, judge between them justly. God loves the
just. (Surat al-Ma’idah, 42)
And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they
reach maturity–except in a good way; that you give full measure
and full weight with justice–We impose on no self any more than
it can bear; that you are equitable when you speak–even if a near
relative is concerned; and that you fulfil God’s contract. That is
what He instructs you to do, so that hopefully you will pay heed.
(Surat al-An’am, 152)

There are only grounds against those who wrong people and act
as tyrants in the earth without any right to do so. Such people
will have a painful punishment. (Surat ash-Shura, 42)
So call and go straight as you have been ordered to. Do not follow
their whims and desires but say, ‘I believe in a Book sent down

by God and I am ordered to be just between you. God is our Lord
and your Lord. We have our actions and you have your actions.
There is no debate between us and you. God will gather us all
together. He is our final destination. (Surat ash-Shura, 15)
If two parties of the believers fight, make peace between them.
