From the beginning the Qur'an emphasises two things, besides the basic faith: First, man's contact with Allah should be firm. He should worship Him alone and should not bow his head before others. Secondly, man should behave in the most respectable manner towards his fellow human beings. He should realise the rights of the deserving people. He should meet his commitments towards his parents, the kindred, the neighbours, the orphans and the needy. If he is strong limbed he should not raise his hand over the weak but should be a source of strength to them. He should guard the life, honour and property of others as he would guard his own. He should never practise deceit but always be fair in his deals. His existence should not be a troublesome to society but should ensure comfort and peace. The Qur'an gives so much importance to these teachings that they have been repeated time and again. Its best example we find in Sura Bani - Israil.
"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. Be kind to your parents. When they attain old age, consider them with special care; bend yourself out of kindness and humility and pray for them. Render their due rights to the kindred, the poor and the wayfarers. If you could not help them because of your poverty, excuse yourself with kindness. Do not kill your children for fear of want. Allah will provide sustenance for you and also for them. Killing and that to killing of your own children is a very great sin. Do not commit adultery for it is a shameful deed and a wrong way of life. Allah has made life sacred. Unless truth and justice demand, do not take anybody's life. You should not devour the property of the helpless orphans. When they attain the proper age, their property should be returned to them. Every engagement should be fulfilled for every engagement would be enquired into on the Day of Reckoning. You should not speak about things of which you have no knowledge. Every act of hearing, or seeing, or of feeling in the heart will be enquired into by Allah. Do not walk on the earth with insolence, for you can neither rend the earth as under, nor reach the mountain in height.
