TO TAKE WARNING FROM
THE FATE OF THE EVILDOERS
Say: 'Travel about the earth and see the final fate of the evildoers.'
(Qur'an, 27:69)

TO RETURN A GREETING
When you are greeted with a greeting, return the greeting or
improve on it. Allah takes account of everything. (Qur'an, 4:86)

TO ENTER HOUSES BY GREETING
THEIR INHABITANTS
You who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own until
you have asked permission and greeted their inhabitants. That is
better for you, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (Qur'an, 24:27)
There is no objection to the blind, no objection to the lame, no
objection to the sick nor to yourselves if you eat in your own
houses or your fathers' houses or your mothers' houses or your
brothers' houses or your sisters' houses or the houses of your
paternal uncles or paternal aunts or the houses of your maternal
uncles or maternal aunts or places to which you own the keys or
those of your friends. There is nothing wrong in your eating
together or eating separately. And when you enter houses greet one
another with a greeting from Allah, blessed and good. In this way
Allah makes the Signs clear to you so that hopefully you will use
your intellect. (Qur'an, 24:61)

TO MAKE ROOM AT GATHERINGS
You who believe! When you are told: 'Make room in the gathering,'
then make room and Allah will make room for you! And when it
is said, 'Get up', get up. Allah will raise in rank those of you who
believe and those who have been given knowledge. Allah is aware
of what you do. (Qur'an, 58:11)
