Allah Almighty said:
"وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ" [253]. (الأنعام:38).
{There is no moving creature on earth or a bird flying with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have missed nothing in the Record, then to their Lord they will be gathered.} [253] Surat al-An‘ām: 38.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "عُذّبت امرأة في هرّة، سجنتها حتى ماتت، فدخلت فيها النار؛ لا هي أطعمتها، ولا سقتها إذ حبستها، ولا هي تركتها تأكل من خشاش الأرض " [254]. (متفق عليه).
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman was tormented because of a cat which she had locked up until it died, and she was thrown into Hellfire for that. She neither gave it food or drink when she locked it up nor freed it so that it would eat from the vermin of the earth." [254] Agreed upon.
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أن رجلا رأى كلبا يأكل الثرى من العطش، فأخذ الرجل خفه، فجعل يغرف له به حتى أرواه، فشكر الله له فأدخله الجنة" [255]. (رواه البخاري ومسلم).
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, he took his shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. Allah accepted his deed and admitted him to Paradise." [255] Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim.

Allah Almighty said:
"وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّـهِ قَرِيبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ" [256]. (الأعراف:56).
{Do not spread corruption on earth after it has been set aright, but call upon Him with fear and hope. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is close to those who do good.} [256] Surat al-A‘rāf: 56.
"ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ" [257]. (الروم:41).
{Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of what people’s hands have earned, so that He may cause them to taste the consequence of some of their deeds, so that they may return.} [257] Surat ar-Rūm: 41.
"وَإِذَا تَوَلَّىٰ سَعَىٰ فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ فِيهَا وَيُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ وَالنَّسْلَ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَسَادَ " [258]. (البقرة: 205).
{When they leave [you], they strive to spread corruption in the land and destroy crops and livestock, whereas Allah does not like corruption.} [258] Surat al-Baqarah: 205.
" وَفِي الْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَاوِرَاتٌ وَجَنَّاتٌ مِّنْ أَعْنَابٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الْأُكُلِ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ "[259]. (الرعد: 4).
{And on the earth there are neighboring [yet different] tracts of land, and gardens of grapevines, grains and palm trees – some growing in clusters from one root or standing alone. They are all irrigated with the same water, yet We cause some of them excel others in taste. Indeed, there are signs in this for people of understanding.} [259] Surat ar-Ra‘d: 4.
الإسلام يعلمنا أن الواجبات الاجتماعية يجب أن تكون مبنية على أساس المودة واللطف واحترام الآخرين.
Islam teaches us that social duties must be built on love, kindness, and respect for others.
وضع الإسلام الأسس والمعايير والضوابط وحدد الحقوق والواجبات في كافة العلاقات التي تربط المجتمع.
It laid down the standards and criteria and defined the rights and duties concerning all relations that connect the society.
قال الله تعالى:
Allah Almighty said:
"وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّـهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا ۖ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْجَارِ ذِي الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَن كَانَ مُخْتَالًا فَخُورًا" [260]. (النساء:36).
{Worship Allah and do not associate any partners with Him. Be kind to parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, near and distant neighbors, close friends, wayfarers, and slaves whom you own. For Allah does not like those who are arrogant, boastful.} [260] Surat an-Nisā’: 36.
"... وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ فَإِن كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَيَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا" [261]. (النساء:19).
{...Treat them kindly. If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike something which Allah has put much good in it.} [261] Surat an-Nisā’: 19.
"يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا فِي الْمَجَالِسِ فَافْسَحُوا يَفْسَحِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ انشُزُوا فَانشُزُوا يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ ۚ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ" [262]. (المجادلة: 11).
{O you who believe, when you are told to make room in your gatherings, then make room; Allah will give you abundance. And when you are told to rise, then rise; Allah will raise in ranks those who believed from among you and those who are given knowledge. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.} [262] Surat al-Mujādilah: 11.
الإسلام يحث على كفالة اليتيم، ويحث كافل اليتيم على أن يعامل اليتيم كمعاملته لأبنائه، لكن يُبقي الحق لليتيم لكي يتعرف على أسرته الحقيقية، لحفظ حقه في ميراث أبيه، ولتجنب اختلاط الأنساب.
Islam encourages orphan sponsorship and urges the sponsor to treat the orphan the way he treats his children; however, it maintains the orphan's right to know his real family to protect his right in his father's inheritance and to avoid mixture of lineages.
إن قصة الفتاة الغربية التي عرفت بالصدفة بعد ثلاثين عامًا أنها ابنة بالتبني وانتحرت، هي أكبر دليل على فساد قانون التبني. لو كانوا أخبروها منذ الصغر لرحموها، وأعطوها الفرصة لأن تبحث عن أهلها.
The story of the western girl who learnt by coincidence after thirty years that she was adopted and, thus, committed suicide is the biggest proof of the inadequacy of the adoption law. Had they informed her when she was still young, they would have spared her such an end and would have given her the chance to look for her family.
قال الله تعالى:
Allah Almighty said:
"فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ"[263]. (الضحى:9).
{Do not mistreat the orphan.} [263] Surat ad-Duha: 9.
"فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۗ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَىٰ ۖ قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَإِن تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّـهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِ ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّـهُ لَأَعْنَتَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ" [264]. (البقرة: 220).
{In this life and the Hereafter. They ask you about orphans. Say, “Serving their interests is best. Should you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers. Allah knows who is dishonest and who is honest. If Allah had willed, He could have made things hard for you. Allah is indeed All-Mighty, All-Wise.”} [264] Surat al-Baqarah: 220.
"وَإِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَةَ أُولُو الْقُرْبَىٰ وَالْيَتَامَىٰ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ فَارْزُقُوهُم مِّنْهُ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا"[265]. (النساء: 8).
{If at the time of distribution, [other] relatives, orphans, and the needy are present, give them something too, and speak to them kindly.} [265] Surat an-Nisā’: 8.
