Allah is the Light of the heavens and
the earth The parable of His Light is as
(if there were) a niche and within it a
lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as
it were a brilliant star, lit from a
blessed tree, an olive, neither of the
East nor of the West, whose oil would
almost glow forth (of itself), though no
fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allâh
guides to His Light whom He wills And
Allah sets forth parables for mankind,
and Allah is All-Knower of everything.
Quran – 24:35
O mankind, truly We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Truly the most noble of
you, in the sight of God, is the most God-conscious. Quran - 49: 13
To each community among you We have prescribed a Law and a way of life. If Allah had so willed He would have made you a single people, but His plan is to test you in
what He has given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which you differ.
Quran - 5:48
Omer Ali Seifuddin Mosque, Brunei
And the servants of the Infinitely Compassionate are those who walk on the earth in humility and when the ignorant accost them, they only reply "Peace!"
Quran - 25:65
Sultan Salauddin Mosque, Malaysia
For every community (of
faith) We have appointed
ways of worship, which they
aught to observe. Hence, do
not let those (who follow
other ways) draw you into
dispute on this score, but
summon them to their
Sustainer: for you are on the
right way. And if they argue
with you, say: God knows
best what you are doing.
Quran - 22:67
Al Hambra Palace in Spain
Truly those who believe, and
the Jews, and the Christians,
and the Sabaeans - whoever
believes in God and the Last
Day and performs virtuous
deeds - surely their reward is
with their Sustainer, and no
fear shall come upon them,
neither shall they grieve.
Quran - 2:62
It was We who revealed the Torah;
therein was guidance and light. By
its standard the Jewish people
have been judged by the Prophets
who surrendered to God's will, as
well as by the Rabbis and the
doctors of Law, for to them the
protection of God's book was
entrusted: If any do fail to judge by
what God has revealed (including
the Torah), they are (no better
than) unbelievers. Quran - 5:44
Hasan II MosqueCasablanca, Morocco
We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone
slew a person unless it be for murder or for
spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he
slew all of humanity: and if anyone saved a life it
would be as if he saved the life of all of humanity.
Quran - 5:32
Abdul Aziz Mosque, Spain :
We ordained therein for them: "A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth and equivalence in harm done." But if anyone by way of charity foregoes that retaliation, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail
to judge by what God has revealed, they are wrongdoers. Quran - 5:45

Goodness and Evil cannot be equal. Repel Evil with something better; then the one who hated you will become your friend and intimate! Quran - 41:34
Let there be no compulsion in religion.
Truth stands out clearly from error;
whoever rejects evil and has faith in
God has grasped the most
trustworthy, unfailing handhold. And
God hears and knows all things. God
is the Protector of those who have
faith: from the depths of darkness He
will lead them forth into light.

kindness, Most Merciful.

keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in time of conflicts (Quran 2:177)
