Dear All AoA
We all see the kind of abuse and slander dished out to each other and forget what are the islamic injunction about such behaviour. I came across the compilation of AYAHS of quran regarding Islamic Code of conduct and thought about sharing with you all and to serve a reminder to myself and all other respected forum members. This will also give a good reference.
Call people to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful exhortation. Reason with them most decently [16/125]
Talk straight, to the point, without any ambiguity or deception [33/70]
Choose best words to speak and say them in the best possible way [17/53, 2/83]
Do not shout. Speak politely keeping your voice low. [31/19]
Always speak the truth. Shun words that are deceitful and ostentatious [22/30]
Do not confound truth with falsehood [2/42]
Say with your mouth what is in your heart [3/167]
Speak in a civilized manner in a language that is recognized by the society and is commonly used [4/5]
When you voice an opinion, be just, even if it is against a relative[6/152]
Do not be a bragging boaster [31/18]
Do not talk, listen or do anything vain [23/3, 28/55]
Do not participate in any paltry. If you pass near a futile play, then pass by with dignity [25/72]
Do not verge upon any immodesty or lewdness whether surreptitious or overt [6/151].
If, unintentionally, any misconduct occurs by you, then correct yourself expeditiously [3/134].
Do not be contemptuous or arrogant with people [31/18]
Do not walk haughtily or with conceit [17/37, 31/18]
Keep your gazes lowered devoid of any lecherous leers and salacious stares [24/30-31, 40/19].
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]
When you hear something malicious about someone, keep a favorable view about him/her until you attain full knowledge about the matter. Consider others innocent until they are proven guilty with solid and truthful evidence [24/12-13]
Ascertain the truth of any news, lest you smite someone in ignorance and afterward repent of what you did[49/6]
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]
The believers are but a single Brotherhood. Live like members of one family, brothers and sisters unto one another [49/10].
Do not make mockery of others or ridicule others [49/11]
Do not defame others [49/11]
Do not insult others by nicknames [49/11]
Avoid suspicion and guesswork. Suspicion and guesswork might deplete your communal energy [49/12]
Spy not upon one another [49/12]
Do not backbite one another [49/12]
When you meet each other, offer good wishes and blessings for safety. One who conveys to you a message of safety and security and also when a courteous greeting is offered to you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous or (at least) of equal courtesy [4/86]
Treat kindly, Your parents, Relatives, The orphans And those who have been left alone in the society [4/36]
Do not expect a return for your good behaviour, not even thanks [76/9]
Cooperate with one another in good deeds and do not cooperate with others in evil and bad matters [5/2]
Do no try to impress people on account of self-proclaimed virtues [53/32]
You should enjoin right conduct on others but mend your own ways first. Actions speak louder than words. You must first practice good deeds yourself, then preach [2/44]
Correct yourself and your families first [before trying to correct others] [66/6]
Pardon gracefully if anyone among you who commits a bad deed out of ignorance, and then repents and amends[6/54, 3/134]
Sit not in the company of those who ridicule Divine Law unless they engage in some other conversation[4/140]
Fulfill your promises and commitments [17/34]
