The Qur’an For All Humanity
Reformed Behaviour
~ 22 ~
All the things of this world are functioning in
complete coordination with one another, so man
must also lead his life in harmony with others,
wishing them well and seeking what is profitable
for his brethren. The benefits of such a world are
manifold.
There are only two possible kinds of behaviour for
men on this earth created by God — reformed
behaviour and corrupt behaviour. Reformed
behaviour is the conscious following of the perfect
order already established by God in the universe.
As opposed to this, corrupt behaviour is deviation
from that order and the adoption of a self-made
system. But the latter course ill befits God’s
creatures, for the earth has already been reformed
by God. This has not been left for man to do. Man
has only to follow the path of nature and build his
society on the same pattern. This reformed earth of
God is not only the best place for human habitation,
but it is also the best model for human conduct.
