28 SOLUTION THE VALUES OF THE QUR'AN

Anyone who commits an error or an evil action, and then ascribes it to
someone innocent, bears the weight of slander and clear wrongdoing.
(Surat an-Nisa': 112)
There is a group of you who propagated the lie. Do not suppose it to be bad
for you; rather it is good for you. Every one of them will incur the evil he

respect elderly people. Similarly, having no fear of Allah accounts for
patients dying in emergency rooms due to lack of care, and despised and
poor people and millions of innocent people being massacred for a

this society is entitled to enjoy peace and a sense of trust. Strict avoidance
of debauchery, prostitution and any other form of immorality, together
with the sensitivity shown to values such as respect, compassion and
mercy ensure unbreakable family ties, which are undeniably essential for
a strong society. The society enjoys such reliable bases mainly because
people show allegiance to one another.

Doing Good without Expecting a Recompense
A person who has fear of Allah is also someone who listens to his

conscience and always acts according to the Qur'an. In the Qur'an, Allah
commands people to engage in good deeds without expecting any
worldly reward, to provide people help and strive to present them a good
life. In the verse "Do not give out of a desire for gain" (Surat al-
Muddaththir: 6), the prohibition stresses that people should not seek
worldly gain for services they render intending the good pleasure of
