THE CORRECT WAY

Whatever you have been given is only a temporary provision of this life, but that which is with God is better and more lasting for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord; who refrain from heinous sins and gross indecencies; who forgive when they are angry; who respond to their Lord and attend to their prayers; who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation and spend out of what We have provided for them; who, when they are attacked, defend themselves. Let harm be requited by an equal harm. But whoever pardons and amends will find his reward with God. He does not love the wrongdoers. Those who defend themselves after they have been wronged cannot be held blameworthy, blame falls only on those who wrong men and transgress on this earth without justification—such will have a painful punishment—whoever is patient and forgiving, acts with great courage and resolution.

(42:36-43)
