KORAN AND THE NATURE OF MAN
The Holy Koran is in harmony with the nature of man, and the nature of both man and Islam are against oppression and violating human rights. The nature of Islam is a logical one and one which centers on speaking and listening. All of the Koranic verses, except the “Bara’at” verse, scream out that the rulings of the Koran are that of love, compassion, and ease: “Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire hardship for you,” (Al-Baqarah, 185), and also, “We did not send you but as a mercy to the nations,” (Al-Anbiya, 107). Treating man with contempt has no place in Koranic culture and the culture of Imams (PBHT). The Holy Koran clearly stipulates that in talking to people, kindness and good conduct must be taken into consideration: “and speak kindly to people,” (Al-Baqarah, 83). In jurisprudential references, it has been said that being insolent to people even though they may not be Moslem, carries its own punishment, let alone insulting divine religions.
