The saying of Allaah the Exalted:

"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allaah as just witnesses; and let not the enmity and hatred of others allow you to avoid justice. Be just: that is closer to piety; and fear Allaah. Indeed, Allaah is Well-Acquainted with what you do."
[Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:8]

Merits of Islam in the Area of Creed

Merits of Islam in the Area of Creed 1- Islam has given thorough details of the concept of Allah "God", unlike other beliefs, which make God a tribal god or a one of three gods, it also gives thorough, and clear details of the obligations towards Him, towards self and towards fellow beings.112: 1. Say (O Muhammad): He is Allâh, (the) One.2. Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). 3.He begets not, nor was He begotten; 4.And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."29: 22. He is Allâh, than Whom there is Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen (open). He is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. 23. He is Allâh than Whom there is Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the King, the Holy, the One Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allâh! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. 24. He is Allâh, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names . All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Merits of Islam in the Impact on People

Merits of Islam in the Impact on People 1- The law in Islam, enunciates the rights of mankind without distinction of race and color. No branch of Islamic law is based on the expediencies and objects of any particular territory and particular race. The proof of this is that whenever any problem presents itself in the world, whether it be about the agreement and treaty with any nation, or about war and whether it be about the internal administration or foreign policy' of the country, a commandment relating to it will certainly be found in Islamic law. 2- Good deeds, which a person does wipe away the sins of his bad deeds, which encourage people to do good.29: 7. Those who believe [in the Oneness of Allâh (Monotheism) and in Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and do not apostate because of the harm they receive from the polytheists], and do righteous good deeds, surely, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall reward them according to the best of that which they used to do.

Merits of Islam in women's affairs

Merits of Islam in women's affairs 1-Islam rescued women from the oppression and injustice which was inflicted on them, such as burying female babies alive,16: 58. And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! 59. He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth ? Certainly, evil is their decision. 2- No other religion contains the injunctions about the prevention and restraint of the carnal desires, evil instincts and worldly pleasures and about the protection of the chastity and character of women as are found in Islam. That's why Islam ordained the veil on women to protect them from foreigners which might lead to harming them and why it forbids them of making a wanton display of themselves (tabarruj).

Merits of Islam in Public Rights

Merits of Islam in Public Rights 1- Islam prohibits encroachment on the creatures of God, whether they are humans, animals or plants.2:190. And fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors.The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “A woman was punished because of a cat which she detained until it died of starvation, because she neither fed it, nor let it free to eat from the vermin of the earth.” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Whilst a dog was walking around a well, almost dying of thirst, one of the prostitutes of Bani Israa’eel saw him, took off her shoe, filled it with water and gave him the water. She was forgiven because of that.” Muslim armies were ordered not to kill anyone who was not fighting them, like women, children, the elderly and the priests. They were ordered not to cut trees and not to fill up water wells with dirt.

Merits of Islam in the Area of Gatherings 1-Islam gives the same rights to both the rich and the poor in places of gatherings, including in the mosques. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever gets up from his place then comes back to it, has more right to it.” 2- Islam forbids sitting between two persons without asking their permission. 3- If three persons are sitting together, two may not converse secretly to the exclusion of a third, because this is offensive. 4- Islam demands making room for newcomers in the place gatherings as a sign of respect and cooperation.

Merits of Islam Regarding the Welfare of a Child Before and After his Birth 1- Choosing a good spouse is one of the child's rights before he is born. A woman must choose a husband known for being religious and enjoying good manners.The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “If there comes to you one whose religious commitment and attitude pleases you, then marry [your female relative who is under your care] to him, for if you do not do that, there will be tribulation on earth and much corruption.” Also a man must choose a wife known for being religious and well mannered.The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “This world is temporary pleasures and the best of the temporary pleasures of this world is a righteous wife.”

Merits of Islam in the Relationship Between Men &Women 1- Islam encourages marriage to prevent committing adultery, and considers marriage to be one of the ways of the Messengers;The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “O young people, whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, for it helps one to lower the gaze and protect the private parts (i.e., remain chaste). Whoever cannot afford it, let him fast, for it is a protection for him.” 2- If a man wants to get married but is unable to spend on a wife, then he should adhere to the words of Allah.24:33 “And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allâh enriches them of His Bounty”
