4:86 - When a (courteous) greeting is offered you meet it with a greeting still more courteous (at
least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things. 605
605 The necessary correlative to the command to fight in a good cause is the command to cultivate sweetness and
cordiality in our manners at all times. For fighting is an exceptional necessity while the sweetness of daily human
intercourse is a normal need. Further, we give kindness and courtesy without asking, and return it if possible in even
better terms than we received, or at least in equally courteous terms. For we arc all creatures of One God, and shall
be brought together before Him. (4.86)
5:1 - O ye who believe! fulfil (all) obligations. 682683684685
682 See under “Obligations”
683 That is, the exceptions named not only in the Qur-an but in the Sunnah as well. See v. 3 below. (5.1)
684 Cf. v. 94-96. Hunting and the use of game are forbidden "while ye are hurumun," i.e., while ye are (1) in the Sacred
Precincts, or (2) in the special pilgrim garb (ihram), as to which see n. 212, ii. 196. In most cases the two amount to
the same thing. The Sacred Precincts are sanctuary both for man and beast. (5.1)
685 Allah's commands are not arbitrary. His Will is the perfect Archetype or Plan of the world. Everything He wills has
regard to His Plan, in which are reflected His perfect wisdom and goodness. (5.1)
6:50 - Say: "I tell you not that with me are the treasures of Allah nor do I know what is hidden nor do
I tell you I am an angel. I but follow what is revealed to me." Say: "Can the blind be held
equal to the seeing?" Will ye then consider not? 867868
868 Therefore compare not the men of God ("the seeing") with ordinary men ("the blind"). The men of God, although they
be but men, have the higher light with them; therefore do not exact of them petty ephemeral services. Though they are
men, they are not as other men, and are entitled to reverence. (6.50)
6:68 - When thou seest men engaged in vain discourse about Our Signs turn away from them
unless they turn to a different theme. If Satan ever makes thee forget then after recollection
sit not thou in the company of the ungodly. 891
6:122 - Can he who was dead to whom We gave life and a Light whereby he can walk amongst
men be like him who is in the depths of darkness from which he can never come out? Thus to
those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing. 945
945 Here is an allegory of the good man with his divine mission and the evil man with his mission of evil. The former,
before he got his spiritual life, was like one dead. It was God's grace that gave him spiritual life, with a Light by which
he could walk and guide his own footsteps as well as the footsteps of those who are willing to follow God's light. The
opposite type is that which hates God's light, which lives in the depths of darkness, and which plots and burrows
against all that is good. But the plots of evil recoil on itself, although it thinks that they will hurt the good. Can these
two types be for a moment compared with each other? Perhaps the lead in every centre of population is taken by the
men of evil. But the good men should not be discouraged. They should work in righteousness and fulfil their mission.

6:141- It is He who produceth gardens with trellises and without and dates and tilth with produce of all kinds
and olives and pomegranates similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season
but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. But waste not by excess: for
Allah loveth not the wasters. 964965966
966 "Waste not, want not," says the English proverb. Here the same wisdom is preached from a higher motive. See what
magnificent means God provides in nature for the sustenance of all His creatures, because He loves them all. Enjoy
them in moderation and be grateful. But commit no excess, and commit no waste: the two things are the same from
different angles of vision. If you do, you take away something from other creatures and God would not like your
selfishness. (6.141)
6:151 - Say: "Come I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": join not anything as
equal with Him; be good to your parents: kill not your children on a plea of want; We provide
sustenance for you and for them; come not nigh to shameful deeds whether open or secret;
take not life which Allah hath made sacred except by way of justice and law: thus doth He
command you that ye may learn wisdom. 976977
7:33 - Say: The things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds whether open or
secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah for which he
hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge. 1016
7:45 - "Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and would seek in it something
crooked: they were those who Denied the Hereafter." 1024
