238     The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)





                      Torah

                      Do not spread false reports. Do not help a wicked man by being a
                      malicious witness. Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When
                      you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding
                      with the crowd (Exodus 23:1-3)
                      Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—The Lord de-
                      tests them both. (Proverbs 17:15)

                      Now let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Judge carefully, for with
                      the Lord our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery. (2
                      Chronicles 19:7)


                               NOT TO WRONG PEOPLE

                      Give relatives their due, and the poor and travellers. That
                      is best for those who seek the pleasure of Allah. They are
                      the ones who are successful. (Surat ar-Rum, 38)
                      Give your relatives their due, and the very poor and trav-
                      ellers... (Surat al-Isra', 26)


                      Gospel

                      Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to
                      you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them
                      do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
                      Even 'sinners' love those who love them. And if you do good to
                      those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sin-
                      ners' do that. (Luke 6:30-33)


                      Torah
                      Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind,
