Gods Moral Law in the Quran A reminder
Doctor Fahim - Part 4

- Do not spread corruption or disorder
The Arabic word fasād (corruption) can refer to moral corruption, injustice, oppression, violence, environmental destruction, dishonesty, and actions that disrupt the well-being of society.
- Turn to God with humility
Call upon Him in fear and hope” means believers should pray while being mindful of accountability and hopeful for God’s mercy.
- Practice goodness
The verse ends by emphasizing that God’s mercy is close to those who do good (muhsinīn), meaning those who act with excellence, kindness, and righteousness.
This verse appears in Surah Al-A’raf, which discusses God’s guidance, the stories of earlier prophets, and the consequences of people who reject justice and righteousness. The command not to spread corruption follows reminders of God’s blessings and the order He has established in the world.
Quran 7:56 teaches that people should avoid causing harm and disorder, seek God’s guidance, and actively do good, because divine mercy is especially near to those who act righteously.
Islam places a strong emphasis on promoting peace, justice, and social harmony.
The word “Islam” itself is related to the Arabic root s-l-m, which is associated with peace and well-being. The Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad repeatedly encouraged believers to contribute positively to society and avoid causing corruption, oppression, or unnecessary conflict.
- Promoting Peace and Reconciliation
The Quran encourages peaceful relations and reconciliation when disputes arise:
“And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah.” (Quran 8:61)
Muslims are encouraged to seek peaceful resolutions and maintain good relations with others whenever possible.
- Avoiding Corruption and Harm
The Quran condemns spreading corruption or disorder in society:
“Do not cause corruption on the earth after it has been set right.” (Quran 7:56)
Classical Islamic scholars often interpreted “corruption” broadly to include injustice, oppression, violence, exploitation, and actions that damage social welfare.
- Justice as a Foundation for Peace
Islam teaches that lasting peace is connected to justice:
“Indeed, Allah commands justice, excellence, and giving to relatives…” (Quran 16:90)
Believers are instructed to act fairly even toward those with whom they disagree.
- Kindness Toward Others
The Quran encourages kindness and good conduct toward people who are not hostile:
“Allah does not forbid you from being kind and just to those who have not fought you because of religion…” (Quran 60:8)
This has been understood as support for respectful and peaceful coexistence.
- Greeting Others with Peace
A common Muslim greeting is “As-salamu alaykum” (“Peace be upon you”), reflecting the value placed on wishing peace and safety for others.
Islam teaches that believers should strive to spread peace through justice, compassion, reconciliation, honesty, and service to others, while avoiding actions that create harm, oppression, or social disorder. Peace in Islamic teachings is not merely the absence of conflict, but a condition supported by justice, moral conduct, and care for the well-being of society.
