Islam: Kindness to Parents and Orphans:Trust in God
Attitude toward parents
Islam enjoins kindness and honourable treatment toward one's parents:
We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth.' 46: 25
Your lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both pf them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord, bestow on them Your Mercy as they cherished me in childhood.' 17: 23
John and Jesus Christ are described in the Qur'an as an example of perfect attitude toward his parents:
O John!... And dutiful toward his parents, and he was not arrogant, rebellious.' 19: 14
Christ said: And (has made me) dutiful toward
Attitude toward orphans
Islam enjoins on Muslims to deal with orphans in the best of manner:
They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning orphans. Say: "The best thing to do is what is for their good; if you mix their affairs with yours, they are your brethren.' 2: 220
Treat not the orphan with harshness.' 89: 17
Have you seen the one who denies religion? That is he who repels the orphan.' 107: 1-2
The righteousthey feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive. (Saying): we feed you, for the sake of God only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you. We fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.' 76: 8-10
Lenience, mutual consultation, and trust in God
Muslims are commanded in the Qur'an to be lenient toward one another. They should conduct their affairs by mutual consultation:
It was by the mercy of God that you were lenient with them (O Muhammad), for if you were stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about you. So pass over their faults and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And when you are resolved, then put your trust in God. Verily, God loves those who put their trust in Him.' 3: 159
Muslims are prescribed to deal justly and equitably with non-Muslims who do not fight them for their religion:
Quite a great number of the people of the Book (Jews and Christians) wish they could turn you back to infidelity after you have believed, from selfish envy, after the truth has become manifest unto them: But forgive and over look, till God accomplish His purpose; for God has power over all things.' 2: 109
God does not forbid with regard to those who did not fight you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes, that you should show them kindness and deal with justly with them. For God loves the just dealers.' 60: 8
The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from God: for God does not love those who do wrong. But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause for blame. The blame is only against those who oppress with wrong-doing and do injustice, and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: For such there will be a grievous penalty. But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be of the steadfast heart of things.' 42: 40-43
Muslims are commanded to speak well to everyone:
'And speak kindly to mankind.' 2: 83
Agression is strictly forbidden:
'But do not trasgress for God loves not the aggressors.' 2: 190
In this Islam represents the same message procliamed in the Lawas well asin the Evangel.
Well, if it is the same message, coming from the same source, it must proclaim the same prescriptions
