| The moral values of the community we live
in is rather distorted. These moral principles which are the products of
selfish passions and the greed of people, yield them to selfishness, arrogance,
sarcasm, rudeness and cruelty. And people believe that in order to improve
their living standards they have to cheat and deceive others.
However, this is not the values that Allah has determined for the human beings He created. Qur’an orders to be honorable, modest, trustworthy, kind, faithful, mature and sensitive. Qur’an tells even the way one should walk: "And swell not thy cheek (for pride) at men, nor walk
in insolence through the earth; for Allah loveth not any arrogant boaster.
"
Duty of a believer is to apply these superior principles that Allah has decreed. But as we have mentioned above, today, believers live in such a community that these divine moral values have been deserted. For that reason, they have to be extremely careful and continuously judge themselves in order to get rescued from the effects of this distorted culture. This brochure has been prepared to help believers not to forget the basic Qur’an teachings, which we should always keep in mind. In the following pages, these moral principles and prayers that may have been forgotten, will be examined with the concerned Qur’an verses. |
