2. Righteous Humanity Islam since the beginning of its time has been a universal message, and call to all mankind, a mercy to all worshippers, Arab or non-Arab, to all of Allah's Countries East or West, to all colour white or black In the Meccan Revelation we read Noble verses in Allah’s Book clearly asserting the universality of the call : “And we have sent you to the entire mankind as a hearer of glad tidings and as a warner” (Saba’ : 28) As for Muslim Nations, it is charged with the carrying of this universal religion to the world. Allah Exalted says “ And be a nation inviting to uprightness and enjoining right and forbidding wrong,those they are successful-” (Al Imran;104)

3. Brotherhood of mankind is an important aspect of the Islamic Faith; which makes equality a necessity. This brotherhood is founded on two thing. The first one is that that all Men are servants to one Lord; He is the one who created and shaped them and so they are equal on the basis of Worship to Allah They are all children of one father – and so how ever, much the difference in colour, characteristics and countries their tongue and classes – children of Adam ; so they are equal in Birth right. And this is what the prophet ( PBUH ) gave to his nation in his last sermon “O people Your Lord is One, your father is one, all of you are from Adam, and Adam is from dust; there is no superiority for the Arab over the non-Arab; nor of the white over the black except by piety” Religious Brotherhood based on faith is the best kind of brotherhood, and yet the existence of other types of brother cannot be denied; such as the brotherhood of citizenship and nationalism such as in God’s words: “ And to Aad (We have sent) and their brotherHood” (Hud :5)

4. The Quran confirmed this kind of brotherhood among each of those prophets and their peoples who nevertheless disbelieved in them, standing against their messages, because they were from among them, and not strangers ; and so this is tribal. And in the same way we have the brotherhood of mankind between one child of Adam and another of Adam in general. JUSTICE FOR ALL The Muslims have applied justice with nations in the era of the prophet,and the epochs of the orthodox Caliphs. Among what Islam calls for the benefit of mankind is the maintenance out of justice to all people ; and so it is not just for the Arabs aone but for all mankind. Allah the Exalted says “ We have revealed to you the Book (Quran) in Truth, that you may judge between the people as God has shown you, so do not plead for the treacherous people, implore the forgiveness of God, God is All-Forgiving, All- Merciful…” ( Ibid, 105-114) Allah has commanded the believers to be just and bear witness for Allah’s sake, not with standing love for their near relatives, not hatried of outsiders l for love is above the emotions of love and hatred. They should stand for the Sake of Allah.

5. It is not permitted for a believer to act with animosity, because Allah likes not the wrongful and shall never guide them, and they shall neither succeed in this world not the next. World Peace Among the objects of Islam is peace among mankind, instead of wars and struggles. History of the Islamic Call can confirm that Islam beseeches its followers to bear patience in suffering for 13 years in Makkah. The Quran says to them “ For you your belief, but I have my religion” ( Al Kafirun, 6) Allah also says in the Quran: “ Permission to fight back is given to those who have been oppressed, and surely God is Most powerful to bring their victory. Those who were expelled from their homes unjustly, only that they say : Our Lord is Allah” (Al –Hajj: 39) The prophet ( PBUH) said “ The Worst names is war and it is Bitter”.

6. Tolerance of Non Muslims Among the principles and Values which Islam preaches here is tolerance of Non-Muslims, and transaction with them in a highly civilized way without bias or envy on one who opposes Islam. As for the people of the book that is the Jews and Christians have a special treatment, The Quran called them the people of the Book ; and marrying their daughters is lawful. Allah says in the Quran : “ And the food of the people of earlier scripture is permissible to you, and your food is permissible to them, and you are permitted to marry chaste believing women and chaste women from among the people who were given earlier scripture before you” ( Al – Maida : 5 ) The prophet used to visit and respect the people of the book, and do good to them and visit their sick. The tolerance of Islam with non- Muslims is a kind of tolerance, the like of which has never been witnessed by history ; and especially if it were the people of the book ; and more if they were citizens of the Islamic Domain; and especially when they turn Arab and speak the language of the Quran.

7. Righteous Family Islam aims at nurturing a good person and righteous family as the foundation stone of the nation’s society Marriage which is a holy bond between man and woman, is the foundation of the expected family. The Prophet (PBUH) did not allow nunnery in Islam and prohibited celibacy for the sake of worship He directed his call to youth urging them to marry: “O generation of youth, those of you who can afford it should marry; for it veils the sight and better fortifies privacy.” It is the rule of Allah in this universe that nothing can perform his duty alone. Allah created him indeed to communicate with others of his kind, to be accomplished, and make others accomplished.

8. MARRIAGE Allah has ordained for our human world, a noble code of intercourse between a man and a woman, this is what we call “Marriage”. Allah has placed kindness towards woman in the breast of man towards woman; and kindness in the breast of woman towards man. Marriage to third remove complements the religion of a Muslin man. From here, he finds himself competing for the lawful, so he will not think of the unlawful. Marriage is the only way of starting a family which is the nucleus of the society, and the foundation of its structure. Among joys of mankind are: good woman, a good home and a good beast as the like. Among hardships are a wicked woman, a poor dwelling, and a bad beast as the like. With marriage, social links are strengthened. Hence, man joins his clan to another clan, his family with another family.Marriage gives man the appropriate opportunity to integrate man’s personality As for marriage, it is a tie and stiff convenient; and a shared responsibility between man and woman from the first day.

9. First advice, each of them should make the right choice of his/her life partner. They must not look to attraction alone; for appearance could be deceitful.By a good wife is meant; one of religion and character Prophet urges woman and her guardians to make the right choice, no merely the man of property, or lineage or position.And good husband: is one religion and character Eye is the messenger of the heart. And this sighting before marriage, if favored with consent, will open the heart of each other. The Consent of the Girl The father has no right to marry his daughter to whomever he likes without her consent, It is better for woman not to marry without the consent of her guardian and it is also better to consult the woman in the marriage of her daughter Marriage is a concrete bond and a sacred partnership, and Islam emphasizes that be continuous, lasting and binding The Dowry It is the exclusive right of the woman: it is not right for the husband play counters on them, when she requests it of him, or in part after paying it to her

10. The wife is not responsible for her expenditures even if she is rich. Husband is responsible because he is responsible of her. The wife is responsible to look after his house, doing duty for him, rearing his children. The woman’s need is not merely limited to the material side of expenditure, clothing and the like. What gladdens the woman makes her pleased, so this is the complete aspect of kindliness Trust And in keeping trust over him, she must keep his secrets and should not allow those he dislikes to enter his house Keeping trust over his property. She must not be a thrift spend, nor should she overspend Punishment As long as the man is responsible for the home, before Allah and before man, he should prevent her from committing sins, or neglecting obligations, or disregarding martial duties, so as to save the family from collapsing.

11. … The aim of Islam at the establishment of a good society, just as it aims at nurturing a good soul (individual) and a good family, and both are, no doubt, the solid foundation of the society in question. The good society is the one which ties the individual with his family with the noble values of Islam, and its exemplary principles making them the mission of life and the norm of its existence Congregation Upon Faith: The Islamic community is not a national or regional community, rather is it an assembly of faith, community of idea and faith. Hence, it is the foundation “the ideology” of this community And from here comes another value which the good society rests, which Islam aims of achieving and it is “Respect for good deeds” that makes them sacred, whether it is religious order like prayers, fasting, pilgrimage and supplication and devotion. And the struggle in the cause of Allah in defense of right, and strengthening good deeds, and to guarantee propagation, prevention of corruption, and barring the jelous and in checking breach of pacts, and for the safety of the weak, are the basic principles of Islam who no Muslim can deny Righteous Society

12. The virtue of character are confirmed in every aspect of life, and their propagation and protection. It begins from justice, goodness, family respect, cooperation on the basis of respect and piety, etc. are the significant bases which Muslim society cannot stand Brotherhood and Fraternity Brotherhood and fraternity are the permanent features of the Muslim society, by dint of firm faith and which runs through its members. History and event have confirmed that there are no bonds stronger than faith and that there is no stronger faith than Islam. Sympathy and Kindness Mutual sympathy and kindness, and this is the fruit of true brotherhood, and it is what the noble Hadith has portrayed so vividly. The most urgent need of kindness and mercy is for the weak, the orphan, the unable, the wayfarers, servants and the disables because Qur’an considers that it is a sign of unbelief and denial of religion. Mutual Trust and Advice Mutual trust and mutual respect, and this is a form of cultural security, which makes every Muslim responsible for and to those around him in society. Thus he advices them and they advice him, and he recommends them in truth they recommend him in truth. Cleanliness and Decency As to cleanliness and decency, the Muslim community is a decent society, rearing its children in a weather of cleanliness, innocence, chastity, and it forbids promiscuity within and without.

13. Justice As to justice, and it includes just transaction between people in the affairs of life, it is an obligation. Justice embraces economic or social justice in the face of the strong so that they do not suck the blood of the weak. An Advanced Society One of the best ways of describing this society which Islam establishes; is that it is an advanced society and this a case in which needs enlightenment and explanation

14. Righteous Human First aim of Islam is to establish a righteous man, Man is the foundation of the good home, the society, the good nation. A Muslim is a man of belief and faith, one who is clear about himself and the world around him. Allah will put an end to what he created, and replace it with another world, where good deeds will be rewarded. Monotheism means there is no Creator but Allah, and there is none to be worshipped but Allah. A Muslim is created to serve his Lord, his Creator, to worship him alone without any partnership. Allah said, “And we never sent a Messenger before you except that We revealed him saying: “There is no god but I, so worship me”. (al-Anbiya’:25) A Muslim adheres to all that Allah has made lawful for him, and so he is not let loose doing what he wishes: he is limited in necessary action.A Muslim should not drink any alcoholic beverages.A Muslim should not overeat or overdrink.

15. A Muslim is a man of intellect and knowledge where there is no distinction in Islam between faith and the intellect, nor between religion and knowledge A Muslim is a man of propagation and struggle where he does not stop with improving his lot, but goes on struggling in the interest of others, calling them to what Allah has guided him. The Glorious Qur’an is the only Book which enjoys observation, contemplation, the intellect and experiment, just as it enjoys worship and devotion. Whoever follows the Prophet is a caller to Allah with patience. Allah has made the earth for man, as a place of rest and comfort, and has made it for his abode and enjoyment to the end of time Building earth is counted among the purposes of man’s creation as a vicegerent on earth. By this means man is asked to build the earth, which is a sense of obligation, and yet does not deny the acts of worship. Friday on which the weekly prayer is set for Muslims, is not a day off from worldly work like Saturday to the Jews.

16. Righteous economy The economic life of Islam is also based upon solid foundations and Divine instructions. A Muslim is enjoined by God to be self-supporting and to stay away from being a liability on anybody. Islam respects all kinds of work for earning one’s livelihood so long as there is no indecency or wrong involved. With a clear conscience and due respect from society the Muslim can roll up his sleeves and undertake any kind of work available to provide for himself and his dependents. According to Islam, the status of honest working men cannot be lowered on account of the kind of work they are doing for a living. Whatever the individual makes or earns through lawful means is his private possession, which neither the State nor anybody else can justifiably claim. The economic system of Islam is not drawn in the light of arithmetical calculations and capacities of production alone. Rather, it is drawn and conceived in the light of a comprehensive system of morals and principles.

17. Business transactions enjoy a great deal of attention from Islam. Honest trade is permitted and blessed by God. This may be carried out through individuals, companies, agencies and the like. But all business deals should be concluded with frankness and honesty. There are certain rules of expenditure to be followed. In the words of the Qur’an, God enjoins upon the proprietor to fulfill his financial obligations towards his fellow men, and to be moderate in his private spending. Woe to those who deal in fraud, those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure, but when they have to give by measure or weight to men give less than due. Besides that, there are numerous Traditions of Prophet Muhammad excluding the cheaters, exploiters, monopolizes and dishonest business people from the band of the true Muslims.
