Allah says in Quran - Surah Al-Baqara Ch. 2:177
It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteous is the one who believes in Allah, and the Last Day, and the angels and the Book and the prophets, and gives away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask and to set slaves free and keeps up prayer and pays the poor-rate; and the performers of their promise when they make a promise, and the patient in distress and affliction and in the time of conflict. These are they who are truthful; and these are they who keep their duty." Ch. 2:177
Minor degrees of righteousness exist in all man made cultures
Now let us examine the words of the Holy Quran:
True righteousness lies in higher moral values
Quranic code of higher moral values
Unity of God: The primary and the most basic one amongst these higher values is belief in Allah. Belief in God does not carry only the significance that there is a God. It implies belief in that God has not created this whole universe without a purpose, and that man, the masterpiece of His creation, and His vicegerent on earth, definitely has a higher purpose to his creation. What is the purpose of the creation of mankind? As mentioned frequently in these lessons, it is the realization of the existence of the Divine Being, and man’s struggle to acquire closeness to Him. It is quite obvious that only those people can get close to Allah who recognize His attributes, and color themselves with His coloring. That is why the Holy Quran states:
"(We take) Allah’s color and who is better than Allah at coloring and we are His worshippers (with humility)" (2:138).
The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has expressed this in the following words:
"Create the morals of Allah within yourself."
How can this be accomplished? It can only be done by following His commandments with humility, as expressed in the Holy Quran by the words:
"and we are His worshippers."
The color of Allah is manifested by His attributes which represent the highest form of moral values.
