TO EXCHANGE GREETINGS
... And when you enter houses,
greet one another with a greeting from God,
blessed and good.... (Qur'an, 24:61)
New Testament
As you enter the home, give it your greeting.
(Matthew 10:12)
NOT TO FEAR AND NOT TO DESPAIR
[Prophets are] those who conveyed
God's Message and fear Him, fearing no one
except God. God suffices as a Reckoner.
(Qur'an, 33:39)
They [Moses and Aaron] said: "Our Lord,
we are afraid that he [Pharaoh] might persecute
us or overstep the bounds." He said: "Fear
not. I will be with you, All-Hearing and
All-Seeing." (Qur'an, 20:45-46)
[Believers are] those to whom people said:
"The people have gathered against you, so
fear them." But that merely increased their
faith and they said: "God is enough for
us and the Best of Guardians." So they returned
with blessings and bounty from God, and
no evil touched them. They pursued the pleasure
of God. God's favor is indeed immense. That
was only Satan who intimidated his adherents.
But do not fear them-fear Me if you are
believers. (Qur'an, 3:173-75)
New Testament
But even if you should suffer for what
is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear
what they fear; do not be frightened." (1
Peter 3:14)
Old Testament
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid
or terrified because of them, for the Lord
your God goes with you; He will never leave
you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
The Lord Himself goes before you and will
be with you; He will never leave you nor
forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be
discouraged. (Deuteronomy 31:8)
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid
or discouraged because of the king of Assyria
and the vast army with him, for there is
a greater power with Us than with him. (2
Chronicles 32:7)
VIRTUE AND ONE'S FEAR AND AWE OF GOD
O Children of Adam! We have
sent down clothing to you to conceal your
private parts, and fine apparel, but the
garment of heedfulness-that is best! That
is one of God's Signs, so that hopefully
you will pay heed. (Qur'an, 7:26)
New Testament
[O Women!] Your beauty should not come
from outward adornment, such as braided
hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and
fine clothes. Instead, it should be that
of your inner self, the unfading beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of
great worth in God's sight. (1 Peter 3:3-4)
Old Testament
... Fear God and keep His commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man. For God
will bring every deed into judgment, including
every hidden thing, whether it is good or
evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
TO REFRAIN FROM LYING
... Have done with the defilement
of idols and have done with telling lies.
(Qur'an, 22:30)
New Testament
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood...
(Ephesians 4:25)
Old Testament
Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive
one another... (Leviticus 19:11)
Do not spread false reports. Do not help
a wicked man by being a malicious witness.
Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong.
When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do
not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
(Exodus 23:1-2)
