3. The Suggested Translation
• Ethics is an important corner in the life of the
individual and society. It is a basic component
in human civilization, because they fall within
the social structure. The ethics of the
individual share vulnerability and influence
with the morals of society. They lead to
goodness, compassion and brotherhood, love
and all sorts of virtues, and abolish corruption,
injustice, envy, hatred, and all sorts of vices.

5. The Suggested Translation
In these difficult times, many people have favored
self-interest over religious values, and given
priority to personal benefits over ethical standards.
Many people are now driven by the love of this
worldly life and are fully absorbed in pursuing its
superficial ornaments. Their devotion is only to
this transient life. For it, they make alliances and
show hostility; they delay things or do them in
advance; they fight, struggle, and compete.

7. The Suggested Translation
Muslims will not be saved from hardship or
protected from evil unless their acts and practices
are based on the principles of this religion, not on
partisanship, whims and desires, sectarianism, or
mere passionate zeal.
The Muslim Nation (Ummah) will not be protected
from dangers and tribulations unless its politicians
and leaders act fully upon the teachings of Islam
and unless its peoples and societies adhere to this
religion and observe all its rulings, in minor and
major matters.
