Page 93 - Solution, the values of the Qurʼan

The elderly and needy never encounter
intolerance, violence or rage in a society with
people who have Qur'anic consciousness. For
elderly and young alike, believers provide the
most peaceful and comfortable conditions.
Meanwhile, they only expect their reward
for these services from Allah.
If one has faith, whether young or old,
one always strives to remain compassionate,
respectful and understanding. In societies
distant from religion, elderly people annoy
people around them because of their
touchiness or other unfavorable qualities.
This is not the case in an environment
where people adhere to the Qur'an
and the Sunnah since the elderly, too,
strive to display excellent character
under any circumstance.
