Qur'an the Prophet (S) - Compassion, Peace Forbe

[Dr. Shabbir]

Respected viewers, AA

Please see for yourself. "Islam means Peace and Submission to God", is no empty rhetoric.

Here are just a few glimpses from the Glorious Qur'an. Read & reflect.

13:17 --- The real existence on earth is of the one who benefits mankind.

5:2 ---. Let not your hatred (or disapproval) of a people lead you into transgression ---. Help one another in acts of collective benefit and in being mindful of Allah, and do not help one another in deeds that hurt humanity and in creating a wedge between people. ---.

22:40 --- For, if Allah had not enabled people to defend themselves against one another, monasteries, and churches, and synagogues, and masjids, where the Name of Allah is oft mentioned, would surely have been destroyed. ---.

41:34 Repel evil words and deeds in a way that is decent. And, behold, he, between whom and you there was enmity, may become as though he was your bosom friend!

41:35 Yet, none is granted this quality but those who exercise patience and restraint. And none is granted it except those who become worthy of great happiness and good fortune. This quality can make you outstandingly successful, winning.

60:7 It may well be that Allah will bring about affection between you and those whom you now consider enemies. ---.

60:8 Allah does not forbid you from being kind, and fully equitable to those who do not fight you on account of AD-DEEN (the religion), and do not evict you from your homelands. Behold, Allah loves those who lead a just, balanced life.

25:63 The true servants of the Beneficent are those who:
- Walk upon the earth humbly.
- And when the ignorant ones address them, they say, "Peace!" (3:138, 22:41, 31:17-18).
25:64 - And who adore their Lord at night (in the darkness of ignorance), preparing themselves to make a rightful submission and take a rightful stand.

25:67 - And those who when they spend their wealth, are neither wasteful, nor stingy. (2:219).
- And (they know that) there is always middle ground between the two extremes.
25:68 - And those who call on no deities along with Allah.
- Nor take a life that Allah has forbidden except in the course of justice (through a court of Law).
- Nor do they commit adultery; and whoever does this, drags down one’s own humanity.

25:72 Now those who:
- Never give false witness.
- Do not participate in assemblies of vanity.
- But when they have to pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.
25:73 – And who, whenever they are reminded of even the Revelations of their Lord, do not fall at them deaf and blind (with deaf and blind acceptance).
25:74 – And who say, "Our Lord! Grant us that our spouses and children be a joy to our eyes (that they excel in character). And make us the foremost among those who walk aright."
25:75 They, such are these who will be rewarded with a high station of honor for their steadfast commitment (to their Lord). Therein they will be met with salutation and peace.

26:2 Now these are verses of the Final Statute Book, clear in itself and clearly showing the Truth.

26:3 (O Prophet) Will you, (in your compassion), torment yourself to death because they refuse to believe in it?

88:21 Remind them, for you are one to remind.

88:22 You are not a task master over them.

2:190 --- So, fight in the Cause of Allah those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression. Behold, Allah loves not aggressors. (2:194, 2:217, 4:91, 9:5, 9:36, 22:39, 60:8.)

2:256 There is absolutely no compulsion or coercion in Ad-Deen (and/or in the matter of religion). ---.

17:54 --- We have not sent you (O Prophet) as a warden over them.

9:128 (All humanity must realize that) there has come to you a Messenger one of your own who feels your burden. He is full of concern for your betterment, and for those who attain belief, he is compassionate, merciful.

24:54 --- The Messenger’s duty is only to convey the Message clearly."

9:6 (O Messenger) If anyone of the idolaters seeks your protection or a safe passage, grant him protection from the State. Convey to him the Word of God, and then send him to a place where he feels safe and secure. This kindness on your part is mandatory because they are people who have not yet seen the beauty of the Divine System.

16:125 Call to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful exhortation. Reason with them most decently. ---.

28:55 (Additionally) whenever they hear vain talk of ridicule, they withdraw from it decently and say, "To us our deeds and to you yours; Peace be upon you, we do not seek to join the ignorant.” (25:72).

16:35 ---. But, are the Messengers responsible for other than conveying the Message clearly?

2:263. Kind words and respecting people’s honor is better than charity after which their dignity is injured. Allah, the Rich, the Clement, provides everyone without return or obligation.

2:280 If a debtor is in difficult circumstances, let there be postponement to a time of ease. And if you give up the loan entirely as charity, it is better for you if you only knew.

2:271 If you disclose your charities, it is well, but if you give in secret to the needy, it will be better for you. This kind of giving has the power of erasing the imprints of your ill deeds on your "Self". This Law has been decreed by Allah Who knows the effects of all your actions on your personality.

2:272 Your responsibility (O Messenger!) is only to show them the Right Way (and not to make them walk it). He has established Rules for attaining Guidance. (O People!) Whatever good you give benefits your own “Self” when you spend for the sake of Allah. Any charity you give will be repaid to you, without the least injustice. (Allah's rules/laws for guidance: 2:2, 2:26, 5:46,
7:52, 13:27, 14:27, 20:123, 27:2, 28:50, 31:3, 39:3, 40:34, 40:74)

2:273 And give to the needy who are suffering in the Cause of Allah and cannot emigrate and those who are unable to go about the earth in search of livelihood. One, who is unaware of their condition, might think they are free from want, because they abstain from begging. But you can recognize them by certain signs though they do not beg insistently. Whatever good thing you spend on them, Allah is Aware of it.

17:28 If you are waiting for affluence from your Lord, and are unable to currently help the needy, then speak to them in kindness, and treat them in the nicest manner.

24:22 --- Let them pardon and overlook the imperfections of the needy. Listen! Do you not love that Allah should forgive you, absolving your imperfections? Thus it is - Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

59:9 ---. But rather give them preference over themselves, even though poverty be their own lot. And whoever is saved from greediness of the heart, such are the ones who truly prosper.
