Anger, aggression and violence rise in
societies that do not live by religious
moral values, where people turn
away from moral attributes such as
the affection, compassion, forgive-

manded by God.

tion in society, may cheat people, hurt them and engage in much similar behavior.
Fear and love of God, on the other hand, ensure that people live by proper moral values, behaving
in ways that meet with His approval. This allows a society to progress, and also strengthens it.
Otherwise, there will be no end to conflict, war, ruthlessness and injustice.

God commands goodness, justice, honesty and order. In the Qur'an, He reveals:
And to Madyan We sent their brother Shu'ayb who said, "My people, worship God! You have no other de-
ity than Him. A clear sign has come to you from your Lord. Give full measure and full weight. Do not di-

minish people's goods. Do not cause corruption in the land after it has been put right. That is better for
you if you are believers." (Surat al-A'raf, 85)

Do not lie in wait on every pathway, threatening people, barring those who believe from the way of God,
seeking in it something crooked. Remember when you were few and He increased your number: see the
final fate of the corrupters! (Surat al-A'raf, 86)
