Argue in ways that are best


Invite (all) to the Way
Of thy Lord with wisdom
And beautiful preaching;
And argue with them
In ways that are best
And most gracious:
For thy Lord knoweth best,
Who have strayed from His Path,
And who receive guidance.

And if ye punish, let your punishment
Be proportionate to the
Wrong that has been
Done to you:
But if ye show patience,
That is indeed the best (course)
For those who are patient.

And do thou be patient,
For thy patience is but with the help
From God; nor grieve over them:
And distress not thyself
Because of their plots.

For God is with those
Who restrain themselves
And those who do good.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 16, Verses: 125, 126, 127, 128)

Unity is the Message



And hold fast,
All together, by the Rope
Which God (stretches out
For you), and be not divided
Among yourselves;
And remember with gratitude
God's favour on you;
For ye were enemies
And He joined your hearts
In love, so that by His Grace,
Ye became brethren;
And ye were on the brink
Of the Pit of Fire,
And He saved you from it.
Thus doth God make
His Signs clear to you:
That ye may be guided.

(The Holy Quran, Chapter: 3, Verse: 103)
