Al- Anfaal 8/72-73

Al-Anfaal 8/72-73

Indeed those who accepted faith and left their homes and belongings for Allah, and fought with their wealth and their lives in Allah's cause, and those who gave shelter and provided help, are the heirs of one another; and those who believed but did not leave their homes - you have no right in their estates until they migrate; and if they seek help from you in the matter of religion then it is your duty to provide help, except against the people between whom and you is a treaty; and

Allah sees your deeds. And the disbelievers are the heirs of one another - if you do

not do so, there will be turmoil in the land and a great

chaos.

President Obama’s message

Human beings are members of a whole,In creation of one essence and soul.If one member is afflicted with pain,Other members uneasy will remain.If you have no sympathy for human pain,The name of human you cannot retain.

Sa’adi of Shiraz
