Some of the lessons learnt from Quran that apply to our general
living
. Respect and honour all human beings irrespective of their religion,
colour, race, sex, language, status, property, birth, profession/job
and so on [17/70]
Always speak the truth. Shun words that are deceitful and
ostentatious [22/30]
Speak in a civilised manner in a language that is recognised by the
society and is commonly used [4/5]
. If you do not have complete knowledge about anything, better keep
your mouth shut. You might think that speaking about something without
full knowledge is a trivial matter. But it might have grave
consequences [24/15-16]
. Do not follow blindly any information of which you have no direct
knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception) you
must verify it for yourself. In the Court of your Lord, you will be
held accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning
[17/36].
Never think that you have reached the final stage of knowledge and
nobody knows more than yourself. Remember! Above everyone endowed with
knowledge is another endowed with more knowledge [12/76]. Even the
Prophet [p.b.u.h] was asked to keep praying, "O My sustainer! Advance
me in knowledge." [20:114]
. Treat kindly
" Your parents
" Relatives
" The orphans
" And those who have been left alone in the society [4/36]
Cooperate with one another in good deeds and do not cooperate with
others in evil and bad matters [5/2]
When invited to dine, Go at the appointed time. Do not arrive too
early to wait for the preparation of meal or linger after eating to
engage in bootless babble. Such things may cause inconvenience to the
host [33/53]
. Keep yourself clean, pure [9/108, 4/43, 5/6]. Dress-up in agreeable attire and adorn yourself with exquisite
character from inside out [7/26]
If, unintentionally, any misconduct occurs by you, then correct
yourself expeditiously [3/134].
