By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

4. Moral Concept of Islam ~ 67 ~ act within the confines of their own spheres and to enjoy their freedom without disturbing the peace and freedom of others. This is basic to proper conduct as laid down in the Qur’an. God’s confinement of the movement of different heavenly bodies to their respective orbits provides a paradigm on which to base the human code of conduct. One of the Qur’anic verses suggests in figurative language that man should not be stony-hearted: Thenceforth were your hearts Hardened, they became Like a rock and even worse In hardness, for among rocks There are some from which Rivers gush forth; others There are which when split asunder send forth water and others which sink For fear of God, and God is Not unmindful of what you do.
