Brother

If two parties of the believers fight, make peace between them. But if one of them attacks the other unjustly, fight the attackers until they revert to Allah’s command. If they revert, make peace between them with justice, and be even-handed. Allah loves those who are evenhanded. (9) The believers are brothers, so make peace between your brothers and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (10)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hujurat (The Chambers), Surah # 49: Ayah # 9-10)

Betray

You who believe! Do not betray Allah and His Messenger, and do not knowingly betray your trusts. (27)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Surah # 8: Ayah # 27)

Balance

Give full measure when you measure and weigh with a level balance. That is better and gives the best result. (35)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al Isra’ (The Night Journey) or Bani Isra’il (The Children of Israel), Surah # 17: Ayah # 35)

In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance. (8) Give just weight–do not skimp in the balance. (9)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Rahman (The Most Gracious), Surah # 55: Ayah # 8-9)

Backbite

You who believe! Avoid most suspicion. Indeed some suspicion is a crime. And do not spy and do not backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat his brother’s dead flesh? No, you would hate it. And have fear of Allah. Allah is Ever-Returning, Most Merciful. (12)

(Holy Quran, Surah Al-Hujurat (The Chambers), Surah # 49: Ayah # 12)
