TO BE JUST TOWARDS THOSE WHO DO NOT
FIGHT THE BELIEVERS IN THE RELIGION
Allah does not forbid you from being good to those who have not
fought you in the religion or driven you from your homes, or from
being just towards them.Allah loves those who are just. (Qur'an,
60:8)

TO BE FAIR IN MEASUREMENT
AND BALANCE
Give full measure when you measure and weigh with a level
balance. That is better and gives the best result. (Qur'an, 17:35)
Give full measure. Do not skimp. Weigh with a level balance.
(Qur'an, 26:181-182)

TO BE COMPASSIONATE AND KIND
You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will
bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble
to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of
Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the
unbounded favour of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills.
Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 5:54)

NOT TO TAKE THE UNBELIEVERS OF THE
PEOPLE OF THE BOOK AS FRIENDS
Many of the People of the Book would love it if they could make
you revert to being unbeliever after you have become believer,
showing their innate envy now that the truth is clear to them. But
you should pardon and overlook until Allah gives His command.
Truly Allah has power over all things. (Qur'an, 2:109)
You who believe! Do not take as friends any of those given the
Book before you or the unbelievers who make a mockery and a
game out of your religion. Have fear of Allah if you are believers.
(Qur'an, 5:57)
