The sanctity of human life should be upheld by all
Whosoever killed a person – unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land – it shall be as if he killed all mankind; and whoso saved a life, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. [5:33]

Severe punishment for the murderer
O ye who believe! Equitable retaliation in the matter of the slain is prescribed for you; the free man for the free man, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But for him who is granted any remission by his injured brother, pursuing the matter for the realization of the blood money shall be done with fairness, and the murderer shall pay him the blood money in a handsome manner. This is alleviation from your Lord and a mercy. [2:179]

Justice for everyone
O ye who believe! Be steadfast in the cause of Allah, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just. That is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah. Surely, Allah is Aware of what you do. [5:9]

Provide shelter for everyone
And if anyone of the idolaters seeks protection of thee, grant him protection so that he may hear the Word of Allah; then convey him to his place of security. That is because they are a people who have no knowledge. [9:6]

Be good towards all neighbors, and everyone else
And worship Allah and associate naught with Him, and show kindness to parents, and to kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and to the neighbour who is a kinsman, and the neighbour who is a stranger, and the companion by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allah loves not the arrogant and the boastful. [4:37]

Do not abuse others’ respected ones
And abuse not those whom they call upon besides Allah, lest they, out of spite, abuse Allah in their ignorance. Thus unto every people have We caused their doings to seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return; And He will inform them of what they used to do. [6:109]

In the matter of faith, use of force is banned
There is no compulsion in religion. Surely, the right way has become distinct from error; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle, which knows no breaking. [2:257]

How to resolve our differences
And good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with that which is best. And lo, he, between whom and thyself was enmity, will become as though he were a warm friend. [41:35]

Defensive war is the last resort and its conditions
Permission to take up arms is given to those against whom
war is made, because they have been wronged and Allah,
indeed, has power to help them. [22:40]

Will you not fight a people who have broken their oaths, and who plotted to turn out the Messenger, and they were the first to commence hostilities against you. [9:13] And fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress. Surely, Allah loves not the transgressors. [2:191]

And if they incline towards peace, incline thou also towards it, and put thy trust in Allah. Surely, it is He Who is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. [8:62]

And if Allah had not repelled some people by means of others, cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft remembered, would surely have been destroyed. [22:41]

An open invitation for cooperation
Say, ‘O people of the Book (Christians and Jews)! Come to a word equal between us and you – that we worship none but Allah, and that we associate no partner with Him, and that some of us take not others for Lords beside Allah.’ [3:65]

Help one another in righteousness and piety; but help not one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allah; Surely Allah is Severe in punishment. [5:3] And everyone has a goal to which he turns his whole attention. Then vie with one another in good works. [2:149]

How we can become the best people
You are the best people raised for the good of mankind; you enjoin good and forbid evil and believe in Allah. [3:111]

Mankind, We have created you from a male and a female;
and We have made you tribes and sub-tribes that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable among you, in the sight of Allah, is he who is the most righteous among you. [49:14]
