The following are some of the verses that deal with
etiquette in our daily life.
[24:27] O you who believe, do not enter homes other than yours without permission
from their inhabitants, and without greeting them. This is better for you,
that you may take heed.
[4:86] When greeted with a greeting, you shall respond with a better greeting
or at least an equal one. GOD reckons all things.
[6:54] When those who believe in our revelations come to you, you shall
say,"Salmun `Alaykum (Peace be upon you). ……….
[ 73:10] And remain steadfast in the face of their utterances, and disregard
them in a nice manner.
[31:18-19] "You shall not treat the people with arrogance, nor shall you
roam the earth proudly. GOD does not like the arrogant showoffs. "Walk humbly
and lower your voice - the ugliest voice is the donkey's voice."
[4:148] GOD does not like the utterance of bad language, unless one is treated
with gross injustice. GOD is Hearer, Knower.
[7:31] O children of Adam, you shall be clean and dress nicely when you go
to the masjid. And eat and drink moderately; Surely, He does not love the
gluttons.
[49:11] O you who believe, no people shall ridicule other people, for they
may be better than they. Nor shall any women ridicule other women, for they
may be better than they. Nor shall you mock one another, or make fun of your
names. Evil indeed is the reversion to wickedness after attaining faith.
Anyone who does not repent after this, these are the transgressors.
[49:12] O you who believe, you shall avoid any suspicion, for even a little
bit of suspicion is sinful. You shall not spy on one another, nor shall you
backbite one another; this is as abominable as eating the flesh of your dead
brother. You certainly abhor this. You shall observe GOD. GOD is Redeemer,
Most Merciful.
[14:24-25] Do you not see that GOD has cited the example of the good word
as a good tree whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches are high in the
sky? It produces its crop every season, as designed by its Lord. GOD thus
cites the examples for the people, that they may take heed.
[14:26] And the example of the bad word is that of a bad tree chopped at
the soil level; it has no roots to keep it standing.
[41:34] Not equal is the good response and the bad response. You shall resort
to the nicest possible response. Thus, the one who used to be your enemy,
may become your best friend.
[29:46] Do not argue with the people of the scripture (Jews, Christians,
and Muslims) except in the nicest possible manner - unless they transgress
- and say, "We believe in what was revealed to us and in what was revealed
to you, and our god and your god is one and the same; to Him we are submitters."
[58:11] O you who believe, if you are told, "Please make room," you shall
make room for each other to sit. GOD will then make room for you. If you
are asked to get up and move, get up and move. GOD raises those among you
who believe, and those who acquire knowledge to higher ranks. GOD is fully
Cognizant of everything you do.
[17:23] Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and
your parents shall be honored. As long as one or both of them live, you shall
never say to them, "Uff" (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall
you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably.
[17:28] Even if you have to turn away from them, as you pursue the mercy
of your Lord, you shall treat them in the nicest manner.
[ 2:263] Kind words and compassion are better than a charity that is followed
by insult. GOD is Rich, Clement.
[2:264] O you who believe, do not nullify your charities by inflicting reproach
and insult, like one who spends his money to show off, while disbelieving
in GOD and the Last Day. His example is like a rock covered with a thin layer
of soil; as soon as heavy rain falls, it washes off the soil, leaving it
a useless rock. They gain nothing from their efforts. GOD does not guide
disbelieving people.
[24:58] O you who believe, permission must be requested by your servants
and the children who have not attained puberty (before entering your rooms).
This is to be done in three instances - before the Dawn Prayer, at noon when
you change your clothes to rest, and after the Night Prayer. These are three
private times for you. At other times, it is not wrong for you or them to
mingle with one another. GOD thus clarifies the revelations for you. GOD
is Omniscient, Most Wise.
[17:53] Tell My servants to treat each other in the best possible manner,
for the devil will always try to drive a wedge among them. Surely, the devil
is man's most ardent enemy.
[24:61] ........When you enter any home, you shall greet each other a greeting
from GOD that is blessed and good. GOD thus explains the revelations for
you, that you may understand.
How to deal with rumors?
[24:15,16] You fabricated it with your own tongues, and the rest of you repeated
it with your mouths without proof. You thought it was simple, when according
to God,gross. when you heard it, you should have said,"we will not repeat
this.Glory be to You.This is a gross falshood.
Treating those who immigrated
[24:22] Those among you who are blessed with resources and wealth shall be
charitable towards their relatives, the poor, and those who have immigrated
for the sake of God. They shall treat them with kindness and tolerance; do
you not love to attain God's forgiveness? God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[28:55]
When they come across vain talk, they disregard it and say, "We are responsible
for our deeds, and you are responsible for your deeds. Peace be upon you.
We do not wish to behave like the ignorant ones."
[16:125]
You shall invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and kind enlightenment,
and debate with them in the best possible manner. Your Lord knows best who
has strayed from His path, and He knows best who are the guided ones.
[4:94] O you who believe, if you strike in the cause of GOD, you shall be
absolutely sure. Do not say to one who offers you peace, "You are not a
believer," seeking the spoils of this world. For GOD possesses infinite spoils.
Remember that you used to be like them, and GOD blessed you. Therefore, you
shall be absolutely sure (before you strike). GOD is fully Cognizant of
everything you do.
[16:126] And if you punish, you shall inflict an equivalent punishment. But
if you resort to patience (instead of revenge), it would be better for the
patient ones.
[16:94] Do not abuse the oaths among you, lest you slide back after having
a strong foothold, then you incur misery. Such is the consequence of repelling
from the path of GOD (by setting a bad example); you incur a terrible
retribution.
(See also 2;177. It deals with keeping promises).
[17:38] All bad behaivor is condemned by your Lord.
