THE ESSENTIAL WILL OF GOD FOR HUMAN BEINGS
In the Holy Quran, God commands us to never do to injustice or be unfair. God forbids us from committing adultery. God tells us to stay away from doing any shameless act openly or secretly. God hates hypocritical standards, and He orders us to first practice what we preach. God wants us to speak truthfully. God commands us to keep our promises. God hates false leaders; and He forbids us from accepting any authority that is against God. God orders to live by His Law alone, and to never take any other leader that is not approved of God. God wants to us to recognise Him as the only Supreme Authority. God warns the people who break these sacred commands, that they will be the losers in the hereafter. On the Day of Judgement they will be thrown in the Fire of Hell to burn there forever.
Here are verses from the Holy Quran:
“Why say ye that which ye do not? It is most hateful in the sight of Allah that ye say that which ye do not.”
“Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.”
“Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents, and that ye slay not your children because of penury - We provide for you and for them - and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern. And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, till he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight, in justice. We task not any soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the covenant of Allah. This He commands you that haply ye may remember.”
“We have made the devils protecting friends for those who believe not. And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us. Tell them : Allah, verily, enjoins not lewdness. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not? Tell them: My Lord enjoins justice. And set your faces upright (toward Him) at every place of worship and call upon Him, making religion pure for Him (only).”
“Tell them: My Lord forbids only indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are within, and sin and wrongful oppression, and that ye associate with Allah that for which no warrant hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.”
“Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship none save Him, and (that ye show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word. And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little. Your Lord is Best Aware of what is in your minds. If ye are righteous, then lo! He was ever Forgiving unto those who turn (unto Him). Give the kinsman his due, and the needy, and the wayfarer, and squander not (thy wealth) in wantonness. Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils, and the devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord. But if thou turn away from them, seeking mercy from thy Lord, for which thou hopes, then speak unto them a reasonable word. And let not thy hand be chained to thy neck nor open it with a complete opening, lest thou sit down rebuked, denuded. Lo! thy Lord enlarges the provision for whom He will, and straitens (it for whom He will). Lo, He was ever Knower, Seer of His slaves. Slay not your children, fearing a fall to poverty, We shall provide for them and for you. Lo! the slaying of them is great sin. And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way. And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden save with right. Whoso is slain wrongfully, We have given power unto his heir, but let him not commit excess in slaying. Lo! he will be helped. Come not near the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better till he come to strength; and keep the covenant. Lo! of the covenant it will be asked. Fill the measure when ye measure, and weigh with a right balance; that is meet, and better in the end. (O man), follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be asked. And walk not in the earth exultant. Lo! thou canst not rend the earth, nor canst thou stretch to the height of the hills. The evil of all that is hateful in the sight of thy Lord. This is (part) of that wisdom wherewith thy Lord hath inspired thee (O Mohammed). And set not up with Allah any other god, lest thou be cast into hell, reproved, abandoned.”
“And whoso opposes the Messenger (Mohammed) after the guidance (of Allah) hath been manifested unto him, and follows other than the believer's way, We appoint for him that unto which he himself hath turned, and expose him unto hell - a hapless journey's end! Lo! Allah pardons not that partners should be ascribed unto Him. He pardons all save that to whom He will. Whoso ascribes partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray.”
