The US Harvard University has posted a verse of the Holy Quran at the entrance of its faculty of law, describing the verse as one of the greatest expressions for justice in history. Verse 135 of Sura An Nisa (women chapter) has been posted at a wall facing the faculty’s main entrance, dedicated to the best phrases said about justice. “O ye who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses To Allah, even as againstYourselves, or your parents, Or your kin, and whether It be (against) rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both.” This chapter, was revealed in Medina after the Prophet’s hijra (migration) from Mecca in 622 CE. As the name of this surah implies, An-Nisa’ mainly deals with the responsibilities and rights of women in Islamic society, but it also touches on inheritance and family law along with slavery and temporary marriage. In this verse, the Qur’an is addressing the importance of truthfulness in testimony. Harvard University was established in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1636 as the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.

Allah speaks the truth, and the truth is universal... Anyone who seeks the truth should embrace it wherever he finds it. Islam has got the truth about life, its origin, its purpose and destination or end. Alhamdulilah i'm a Muslim. |

[size=13pt] Peace Op and all! @op, thanks for sharing. The Quran truly is a masterpiece; a beautiful book that does not leave out even the littlest of information/ideas required for redeeming our souls to God. Often times, we read some slanderous accusations against the quran alleging that it promotes hate, injustices, lack freedom of belief and what not. But in reality, these are simply misguided accusations due to prejudices harbored by these people towards the muslims. The Quran grants absolute freedom of belief/disbelief([url=http://submission.org/QI#2%3A256]Quran 2:256[/url]) and condemns all forms of oppression([url=http://submission.org/QI#2%3A191]2:191[/url], [url=http://submission.org/QI#2%3A217]2:217[/url]). It promotes friendship/peace with even non-believers in the Quran(Atheist, Jews, Christians etc) who do not fight you for your beliefs([url=http://submission.org/QI#60%3A8-9]60:8-9[/url]). I really do wish people would study this book with an open mind. @op, here are more of similar verses as that quoted in your post. You Shall Not Bear False Witness: [Quran 4:135] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe GOD, when you serve as witnesses, even against yourselves, or your parents, or your relatives. Whether the accused is rich or poor, GOD takes care of both. Therefore, do not be biased by your personal wishes. If you deviate or disregard (this commandment), then GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do. [Quran 5:8] O you who believe, you shall be absolutely equitable, and observe GOD, when you serve as witnesses. Do not be provoked by your conflicts with some people into committing injustice. You shall be absolutely equitable, for it is more righteous. You shall observe GOD. GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do. [Quran 6:152] You shall not touch the orphans' money except in the most righteous manner, until they reach maturity. You shall give full weight and full measure when you trade, equitably. We do not burden any soul beyond its means. You shall be absolutely just when you bear witness, even against your relatives. You shall fulfill your covenant with GOD. These are His commandments to you, that you may take heed. You Shall Be Courteous To all(Atheists,Buddhists,Christians,Jews etc) regardless of differences in beliefs: [Quran 4:86] WHEN GREETED with a greeting, you shall respond with a better greeting or at least an equal one. GOD reckons all things. Traits of the Righteous: [25:63] The worshipers of the Most Gracious are those who tread the earth gently, and WHEN THE IGNORANT speak to them, they only utter peace. The Major Commandments: [6:151] Say, "Come let me tell you what your Lord has really prohibited for you: You shall not set up idols besides Him. You shall honor your parents. You shall not kill your children from fear of poverty - we provide for you and for them. You shall not commit gross sins, obvious or hidden. You shall not kill - GOD has made life sacred - except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand." Respect for the Word of God: [4:140] He has instructed you in the scripture that: if you hear GOD's revelations being mocked and ridiculed, you shall not sit with them, unless they delve into another subject. Otherwise, you will be as guilty as they are. GOD will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers together in Hell. [6:68] If you see those who mock our revelations, you shall avoid them until they delve into another subject. If the devil causes you to forget, then, as soon as you remember, do not sit with such evil people. The above verses demonstrates to us what to do when we hear people insult God and or his revelations. No where does God authorize anybody to hurt or kill people who desecrate his books or HIS name etc. Stinginess Condemned: [17:26] You shall give the due alms to the relatives, the needy, the poor, and the traveling alien, but do not be excessive, extravagant. [17:27] The extravagant are brethren of the devils, and the devil is unappreciative of his Lord. [17:29] You shall not keep your hand STINGILY tied to your neck, nor shall you foolishly open it up, lest you end up blamed and sorry. [17:37] You shall not walk proudly on earth - you cannot bore through the earth, nor can you be as tall as the mountains.
