(Justice, Favor and eetaye zul Qarba)
1-Treating parent with Kindness
The second directive is that parents should be treated with kindness. This directive
Is present to all divine scriptures. There is no doubt in fact that among human
beings a person’s foremost obligation is toward his parents. Thus after worshipping
God, Muslims have been directed to fulfil it the foremost. The reason for this is that it is the
parents who bring a person into existence and it is they who nourish and look after him. The
Almighty has counseled man to be thankful to both his parents the foremost after God. This
Gratitude is not to be expressed merely through the tongue. There are some essential requisites
Of this gratitude which the Quran has related. The first thing mentioned is that a person should
treat his parents in a manner that he shows respect to them not only outwardly but also from the
depth of his heart. He should not show any aversion to them in his heart and also not say
something before them which is against manners, in fact, he should treat them with love,
affection and decency and in a manner that reflects his obedience to them. He should obey them
and in the frailty of old age, comfort them and be a means of re-assurance to them. The second
thing mentioned in this verse is that a person should always show obedience and compliance to
his parents and this obedience should arise from his love and affection for them. Just as parents
hide and protect their children the way brides do through their wings, in a similar manner,
children too should hide and protect their elderly parents in their wings of love and obedience.
The reason is that if ever children can repay their parents for their care, it is through this attitude.
Without this attitude, this right of the parents can in no way be fulfilled.
2-Spending in Way of God
Third directive is to spend in the way of God. This means that just as a person spend on himself
The blessing bestowed upon him by God, he should also spend them his fellow brethren after
Fulfilling his personal and business needs. It is evident from the Quran the two things are
required for a person if he is to become a true servant of God: Firstly, his relationship should be
established on right footings. secondly, his relationship with other human beings should also be
on right footings. The first thing is achieved through the prayer which is the foremost expression
through spending in the way of God, and the second thing through spending in the way of God
for this is the foremost expression of one’s love for one’s fellow human beings. The reward for
this spending is also God’s love because whatever one spends he has it saved in the heavens and
in the Jesus (SWs), his heart too remains occupied at this place. This spending in the way of God
is the right of one’s relatives, orphans and the needy which must necessarily be fulfilled. Any
slackness in fulfilling this right can, in the eyes of God, make a person a criminal who extorts
the rights of people. Thus, at another instance, the Quran has clearly stated that if a person starts
amassing wealth while remaining indifferent to these right then this is hoarding and its
punishment is the fire of Hell-from which every believer should seek refuge with the Almighty.
3-chastity and Modesty
The fourth directive mentioned is that no one should even go near fornication. The reason
Stated for this is that it is open lewdness and a very dreadful practice. The implication is that
No argument is required to prove its awfulness and lewdness. Human nature, unless it is
Perverted, has always regarded it to be a grave sin and a terrible crime . It is an indubitable
reality that the institution of family is as essential a need for a person as air and water are.
This institution can sustain on natural feelings and emotions inly if the relationship between
the spouses and permanent. If this aspect is missing then a society can only consist of a bunch
of animals which are devoid of natural and spiritual feelings and emotions; it cannot be founded
on right and healthy footings. It is this very terrible nature of fornication because of which the
Almighty has not merely forbidden it; He has said to not even go near it. This means that one
Should keep away from things that may lead to it or may ultimately entice a parson to it. The
Etiquette of gender interaction mentioned in the Quran is stated for these very reasons. A
summary of this etiquette is that men and women with regard to their physical and psychological
needs should regard to their gazes and properly cover their private parts and should not do
anything that rouses sexual emotions.
4-Sanctity of Human life
The directive is that no one should kill anyone. This is a mention of the sanctity of human life
Which is always possessed as per morality and religion. The Quran has informed us that prior
To this , Israelites were also given this directive and the almighty had originated that killing
One human being was like killing the whole mankind. The Quran has also clarified that the
Perpetrators of this crime will not only have to face God; they will also have to reckon with the
heirs of the slain person and God has given them full authority in this regard and no court of
justice can show any leniency to the murderer without the consent of the heirs. Its responsibility
is that if they insist in qisas, it should help them and should implement with full force whatever
they want.
5-Misappropriating the wealth of Orphans
In this directive, which is said that the wealth of orphans should not be misappropriated. The
words of this directive are the same as those of fornication earlier; Do not approach the wealth
of orphans except for their welfare and betterment. The implication is that one should only use
the wealth of the orphans for their development and protection and this too should be done till
the time when orphans reach maturity and can be entrusted with their wealth.
6-Keeping promises
In this directive, which is said that promises should be kept at all costs. The Quran here says that
one shall be held accountable for promises. At some their instances in the Quran as well, this
directive keeping promises is mentioned with the same emphasis. At the time of armed jihad
also, the most important directive which is stated in the Quran in this keeping of promises. At
one instance, the prophet (PBUH) and the Muslims have been directed to end their treaties with
the Idolaters of Arabia and launch the final onslaught. However, this much has been clearly
stated in it that treaties which are time-bound must be honoured till the time period
expires. At another instance, it has been stated that if a nation with whom Muslims
are bound in a pact is oppressing the Muslims, then these Muslims cannot be helped
in breach of this pact.
7-Honesty in Weighing
In this directive, which is said that things should be weighed and measured with honesty.
The Almighty says that He has set the earth and the heavens on a scale and thus it is necessary
that a person in his circle should remain just and measure with the right scale and weights. It is
evident from this that this is very important directive and in its essence is actually a corollary of
the scale of justice on which this world has been created. Thus if anyone deviates from it, it
means that his conception of justice and fairness has become defective and he actually does not
believe in a just God. After this, obviously the economic and social systems of the society are
shaken from their bases and no ingredient of the society remains in its place. Thus the Quran
Said” give full measure, when you measure, and weigh with correct scales. This is better and
fairer as far as the consequences and concerned.
8-Worshiping God
Since there is no god except God, only He should be worshipped. The essence of his worship
(‘Ibadah) is humility and servility, as has been indicated earlier. The foremost manifestation
Of this essence is serving the almighty. Since a person also has a practical existence in this
World, this servitude as well and in this manner becomes inclusive of obedience. The
Manifestations in the first case are glorifying Him and singing his praises, praying to him
And supplicating before him, Kneeling and prostrating before him, making vows, offering
Animal sacrifice and doing itikaf.
9-Pride and Vanity
No one should walk and pride and vanity on God’s earth because this is the gait of the conceited.
The Quran thus says that howsoever much a person may strike the earth with his feet he will
Not be able to rent it asunder and howsoever much a person may walk while raising his head
He will not be able to reach the heights of the mountains. It should remain clear that pride
And vanity is not merely reflected in one’s gait; there are evident in one’s conversation,
Clothes, appearance and behavior as well. Hence the use of all such things should be regarded
As prohibited, which reflect affluence or are a means of show and pomposity or are instrumental
In overawing others or belong to the mannerism of rogues and ruffians. So much so, one should
Not adopt an arrogant appearance in keeping the beard and the moustache and in wearing
clothes.
(Bad morals and moralities)
(Evil, sexual and begi)
1-Evil
It refers to sins which mankind has generally recognized as sins, has always called them sins
And so obvious in the evil in them that no argument is needed to prove it. In every good
traditions of religion and culture, they are regarded as bad. At one instance, the Quran, by using
the word munkar and at another by using the word ithm for them, has clarified that they
connote acts which are instrumental in usurping the rights of others.
2-Sexual
Its refers that which is mankind has generally mankind recognize attraction into
Sex and look sexual data on social media and sexual works between one young boy and
Girl without nikkah , gender attraction as natural both in the men and the women
And the other factor is women clothes, when the Women also wearing clothes for special
With half-arms and without half-parts clothes, and round without dupatta on her heads then
Men’s look these women then attract the sexual activity, in the society, law and our religion
These are morally and ethically bad.
3-begi
It refers which is mankind recognize starts fight between two persons, first
Misunderstanding, 2nd second incitement two families, then fights and its result is
Blood shedding between two families, on the earth spread mischief is not good
Its ethically and morally bad.
4-Following the speculations
One should not base one’s actions on speculations. The Quran has warned us from regarding
This to be a trivial directive because the faculties of sight, hearing and intellects shall one day
be held accountable before God. The implication of this directive is that it is not right for a
Muslim to make bad estimations about other Muslims, or make allegations against other
Muslims or to take some action against others without proper knowledge of what the matter
Is or spread rumors merely on the basis of speculation or form a view about God’s being and
attributes and his directives merely on the basis of conjecture and guesswork and upending
analogies.
Pinnacle and Morality
1-Islam
The first quality of Islam (showing submission to God). When this word is mentioned right after
I# man the way it is here, then it signifies the external form of Islam, ie. The directives which
relate to the deeds and words and the physical entity of the person. Thus, if the tongue of a person
is willing to speak and abstain from speaking at the behest of God and his prophet (PBUH);
If his ears are ready to hear and stop hearing at their bidding, if his hands are prepared to strike
And restrain themselves at their command and if his feet are keen to walk and stop at them
directive, then his nothing but Islam. It is evident from the Quran that the best examples of Islam
are prophets themselves. Thus we have been directed to follow them to reach this position of
submitting to God and being content and happy with his decision.
2-Iman
The second quality is having Iman(faith). This is the inner aspect of the religion and here it
implies the full faith one has about the promises of God together with his true cognizance.
Thus a person who believes in God in such a manner that he submits himself totally to him
And is satisfied over his decisions in the utmost manner, then such a person is called a mu’min.
It is through “Iman’ that hearts are purified, intellect receives guidance and intentions are
Cleansed. It is this faith which affects both one’s ideologies and one’s deeds simultaneously
and embraces one’s whole being. Then with the remembrance of God, with reciting his
revelations and with the manifestation of his signs in the world inside a person and that outside,
his faith grows.
3-Humbling Oneself before God
Third quality is humbling oneself before God. This is an inner expression of a person which
Which sets a person forever at the obedience of his lord with full sincerity and dedication.
This is the most prominent manifestation of the relation between the Lord and his worshippers
In the inner-self of a believer. Those who humble themselves before God are people who always
Serve God and in no circumstances become rebellious against their lord. Sorrow , happiness,
Vivacity, exuberance and moments of bliss or grief do not swerve them form obedience . Even
Sexual impulses, strong desires and onslaughts of emotions do not make them stumble before
their lord.
4-Veracity
The fourth quality is veracity . It means that a person’s intention, words and deeds are upright
And in harmony with one another . A person should not utter a single word which is untrue , his
Deeds should not contradict his words and if he adheres to every word he gives , then this is the
veracity of his words and deeds; however , this should necessarily be supplemented with the
veracity of his intentions . The Quran has termed hypocrisy as its antithesis and at various places
clarified that to God real deeds are those which spring forth from within a person; thus the
pinnacle of veracity is achieved through this harmony of words , deeds and intentions.
5-Patience
The fifth quality is patience. Its primary meaning is to restrain oneself from restless and anxiety.
Later, the meaning of showing perseverance and resolve in one’s stance while encountering
hardships and hindrances was incorporated into it. It is not something akin to weakness and
frailty that a person is forced to adopt when he is helpless and week; on the contrary, it is the
determination and resolve and the pinnacle of human character. It is because of patience that
a person becomes internally strong and instead of complaining about the dreadful experiences
of life, welcomes them accepting them whole-heartedly and considers them to be from God, is
never worried if his efforts are not bearing fruit, is not restless and uneasy, is not revengeful
even against those who harm him, is steadfast in defending the truth even if death stares at him,
exercises restrain both in times of joy and sorrow and all his life diligently discharges what he
thinks to be his obligation.
6-Humility
The six quality is Kushu’. The humility and servility which is engendered in a person as a result
Of comprehending the awe, grandeur and majesty of God is called Kushu by the Quran. Thus is
an internal feeling of a person which makes him submit himself before God and also produces
in him the feelings of mercy and love for other human beings. In the first case, its best
manifestation is the prayer , especially the tahajjud prayer when a believer communicates with
the almighty while being cut off from the world, and nothing except the remembrance of God
and gratitude to him fill his secluded moments.
7-Charity
The seventh quality is charitable. One level of spending in the way of God is that one should
pay the obligatory Zakah from his wealth. A higher level is that he considers whatever wealth
remains with him after spending on his personal and business needs to be the right of the society
and whenever he sees a need, he whole-heartedly offers his help. The third and the highest level
in this regard is that fulfills the needs of others while sacrificing his own desires. The words”
those who give in charity” can be used for all these three levels. However, when enumerating
the qualities of a person.
8-The Fast
The eighth quality is keeping the fast. It specially targets disciplining the soul and nurturing
Patience. The Quran says that is objective is to attain piety (taqwa). Thus when the words
Al-sa’imin are used while enumerating the qualities of a person , it will refer to people who
Have such a strong desire to become pious that they fast as much as they can to attain it.
9-Guarding the private parts
The ninth quality is guarding the private parts. This is the consequence of disciplining the soul
and of piety. This expression which refers to people who refrain from nudity, lewdness and
vulgarity also occurs in many other verses of the Quran. The implication is that they guard their
chastity and modesty to the utmost. Thus except at instances they are allowed to reveal
themselves, they never do so whether in private or public . They also do not wear clothes
which reveal body parts that have sexual attraction in any manner of the opposite gender.
10-Remembering God in Abundance
The tenth quality is remembering God in abundance. When the thought of his Lord takes firm
Ground in the heart of a person , he does not consider it enough to merely worship his God at
the specified times of the day; he constantly tries to remember God to all times. When he sees a
sign of God, his tongue spontaneously utters the words (glory be to Allah). He begins all his
tasks and routines by saying. When he receives a favors from his Lord, he expresses his
gratitude by the words . He never expresses his intention for something without uttering
the words( if Allah wills) and Mashallah. He seeks God’s help in all his affairs. He asks him
for his mercy on every calamity that befalls him.
