The Holy Qur’an Teaches Us that which
is Canonically Lawful and Unlawful,
Good and Bad, Right and Wrong
The Qur’an teaches that Allah has declared which as lawful
and unlawful, that which is right and wrong, for goodness to
be widespread and for acts of evil to be avoided. Good deeds
bring peace whereas acts of wrong darken the soul.
Th e Qur’an gives great importance and value to lawful means
of earning and useful deeds. It commands that we earn our
living through fair means, and that we eat and drink things
that are clean in nature. It forbids eating pork and the meat
of dead animals. It orders us to stay away from alcohol and
drugs. It considers it a great sin to earn one’s means through
bribery, stealing, blackmarketing, interest, gambling and pickpocketing.
The Qur’an commands that we exibit a high standard of
behaviour towards everyone and forbids oppression, injustice,
fi nding fault in people, making fun of people, patronising
people, wrongly accusing people and name-calling. Th us it
desires an exemplary society built upon people who are clean,
trusting, mutually respect one another and one that is at peace
with each other.
Th e Qur’an wishes for us to be at peace with ourselves, our
neighbours and those around us. It advises us to stay away
from actions that hurt or disturb others. It always wants us to
be on the side of goodness and to help those in need by starting
with those that are closest to us.
