Islam is the religion of thoroughness and completeness. This kind of impression

could be understood by following the instructions of the Islamic religion. Hence, you

could find that Islam sets full rules and bases to arrange and organize our lives. These

rules take into account every thing might meet us in our life including the very tiny

things. One of such those rules which Islam is very careful about is what related to the

treatments amongst people, whether theses treatments are spiritual or material. Even

Islamic religion itself describes the treatment as: “The religion is treatment”.

The Islam as a religion of virtue forbids all types of sins, corruption, and prohibitions.

Moreover, the holly Quran tells the Muslims to be careful because Allah (God) watching

their doings, Allah (SWT) says: "Work (righteousness): soon will Allah observe your "Work (righteousness): soon will Allah observe your "Work (righteousness): soon will Allah observe your "Work (righteousness): soon will Allah observe your

work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: soon will ye be brought back to the work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: soon will ye be brought back to the work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: soon will ye be brought back to the work, and His Messenger, and the Believers: soon will ye be brought back to the

Surah 9: Verse [105]

Accordingly, doing, causing, giving, taking and treating with prohibitions all equal in the

face of forbidden.

One example of such prohibitions is the bribery. Hence, whether somebody bribes

another body or accepts the bribery from somebody else. Both these actions are

prohibitions so they are both equal in the face of forbidden. The prophet Muhammad

(PBUH) saying (Hadith) about bribery is that: “To be damned both who gives the

bribery and who accept it”. And in another saying: “To be in hell both who gives the

bribery and who accept it”.

Another example is the usury. Islam forbids the usury in any form of its forms, hence

Muslims should not deal with usury whether by giving it or by taking it. And here we

have the prophet’s Muhammad (PBUH) saying: “To be dammed that who give the usury

and that who take it”.

One more example is the acts of slandering and sarcasm. The Islamic religion forbids

these bad actions because of their unpredictable consequences. The Holy Quran says: “ye “ye “ye “ye

Also the Holy Quran says: “O ye who believe! if a wicked person comes to you with any “O ye who believe! if a wicked person comes to you with any “O ye who believe! if a wicked person comes to you with any “O ye who believe! if a wicked person comes to you with any

Moreover, the holly Quran describes those who do such actions as if they are eating the

flesh of the dies. Allah (SWT) says:” O ye who believe! avoid suspicion as much (as O ye who believe! avoid suspicion as much (as O ye who believe! avoid suspicion as much (as O ye who believe! avoid suspicion as much (as

To sum up, the Islamic religion is the religion of merciful and forgiveness. The prophet

Muhammad (PBUH) said: “the bad deed (whoever does it) is recorded as is, and the

good deed will be rewarded for tenfold”.

Islam had set up the whole bases which organize our lives. And this had been achieved

since the moment of completing the revelation of the holly Quran where Allah (SWT)

My brother or sister, the bottom line is that Allah (God) always watching us. Hence in

case we did something forbidden or not, we should ad infinitum ask Allah (SWT) for

forgiveness. Allah (SWT) said: ““““For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and For Allah loves those who turn to Him constantly and

He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.”He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.”He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.”He loves those who keep themselves pure and clean.” Surah 2: Verse [222]
