Islam enjoins upon mankind all traits of nobility, honor, and core values lost in much of today’s society.
❖ Honoring the Parents: “Be good and dutiful to your parents.” (Quran, Chapter 6, Verse 151).
❖ Kindness to Women: “And live with them (the wife) in kindness.” (Quran, Chapter 4, Verse 19) Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best of you is the one who is best to his wife.”.
❖ Women’s Rights: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Women are the twin halves of men; they have rights just as men have rights.” .
❖ Diversity in Islam: Islam views the diversity of man’s languages, ethnicities, and races as a sign of the Creator’s power; not a source of division. “And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and your colors.” (Quran, Chapter 30, Verse 22).
❖ Racial Equality: Piety is the quality that makes a person noble in the sight of God, not race or skin color. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “O mankind, indeed your Lord is One, and your fa ther (Adam) is one. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non Arab or for a non-Arab over an Arab, or for a white person over a black person or for a black person over a white person, except in terms of piety.”.
❖ Respect for the Elderly: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
said, “He is not one of us, those who do not show mercy to our youth and respect our elderly.”.
❖ Caring for the Widow: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
said, “The one who looks after a widow and a poor person is like the one who fasts the entire day and stands in prayer the entire night.”.
❖ Kindness to Neighbors: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not an noy his neighbor.” ❖ Kindness to Animals: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
forbade using animals as chairs, beating them, or branding them in the face. Islam allows hunting for food while forbidding us to use animals as target practice for mere sport.
❖ Fairness in Business: Islam forbids hoarding food or merchandise during times of distress then charging the consumer an inflated price. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever hoards is a sinner.”.
❖ Respect for the Dead: Islam forbids insulting the dead. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Do not vilify the dead and by way of that harm the living.”.
Islam enjoins truthfulness, cleanliness, humility, modesty, keeping promises, dignity, justice, courage, contentment, chastity, forbearance, gratitude, and self-control in times of anger.
