All human beings are created by God through your parents. God says this in many verses of the Holy Quran. Because of this we must respect our parents who have raised us. It is also said that one of prerequisites to enter Heaven in the hereafter is good deeds to your parents. In general, according to Islam religion, God wants us to be good to one another—help those who are in trouble, respect one another, and many other good deeds. If God’s rules had been abided by, there would not be wars between countries, no enemies among individuals and there would be no criminals in this world because we people do good things to one another. What’s your take on this mylotters?

Goodmorning!... What a good topic to start the day!. Only if all the people will do what the Quran or the Bible say. World will be a better place to live in. It is hard for some people to abide this rules since they need more than what they already have, THey want power, When the fact is life is just so simple need not to complicate. It just sated be good to others, give what you can, be happy of what you have. I am giving my best to stand to make a world a better place to live in.

Being good and bad have been determined by God. Which part you will take totally depends on people. If we take the good part, then we will get the effect fo doing good things in this world and also in the hereafter. God promises that all those good and bad deeds shall be returned to the doers. Prettysexybrainy, thank for your response. Happy mylotting.

It would indeed be wonderful to live in a world of peace. I believe and support religious freedom but with that freedom, peace. If we did pray and focus on God's goodness and mercy, then the world would indeed be a better world.

Yes, that's what we are all after in this world. Being good to all regardless of their religions should be recommended to all.

Hi yanzalong, Thank you for starting such a great discussion and I agree with you completely - we should all be good to one another. I have not read the Holy Quran but have read quotes from it. I am convinced that there is good in all holy books and all religions if the people who professed to follow it did so.Let us all learn to respect each other and get rid of our enemies by making them our friends. Blessings.

Thank you so much Pose123. Respecting one another is what God wants from human beings.

I agree. But it's not about getting into Heaven. The Sign of Jonah (and all the other Muslim prophets, including Jesus) says that "Allah forgives whom he pleases"---letting them into Heaven as he would a good son or -daughter. 'Being good to one another' is simply our way of spreading the "Kingdom of Heaven" wherever we go---living with other humans in a Heavenly way.

Thank for your response. You are definitely right about it mythociate. I have noticedd that if we are good to others, people will be good to us as well. For example, I enjoy giving out a little of my income to poor people or to those who need financial support. When I am in trouble, people come to me to offer their help.

G*d IS the greatest common good. Therefore serving him serves everyone else as well.

it's so idealism. Could you show me how did you practice it on a real life? Basically, human is being created include sense to be crook or to be straight. As long as they are prefer to be crook, wars, cheating, corrupt behavior won't be lost from the earth. So, could you make some example to practice it? no doubt with your prologue sentences, but how do you cope some realities around of your life, around us?

I know it's not easy to change current condition where you still see evil, crimes, corruption, and things like that into a condition in which we hope that everyone will be good to one another. However, we can start from ourselves. For example, I realise that being good to others will cause others to be good to me. If I give US$1 to a poor man, I always believe that God (through other people's hands) will give me more than what I have given.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Yes u are absolutely right, we all bonded by the strings of humanity and that is how we all human beings are connected with each other. This fact brings us to the conclusion that we should be compassionate and affectionate towards each other and work progressively to help each other in all types of circumstances. We should never have any guilt or enmity feelings towards each other and strive to have peace around us. What say?

Imagine how peaceful the world will be if all people around the world understand that being good to one another is very important. There would be no hatred, no wars. It is very nice to be able to help those in need of help. As you can see there are so many poor people around the world, most of whom are homeless.

Well, I really agree with you about that. I also hope we have a beautiful, peaceful world which is full of happiness, love and peace. No war, no hurt, no hunger, no fight. Everyone is good to the others, yes, I dream that. I wish I can go to heaven so I am always trying my best to do good deeds to others. I hope everybody can do that, too. Thanks for sharing, my friend, and happy to you every day in your life!

Thank for responding my friend. Let's pray that the world will be in peace. I am sad when I hear there is a country being invaded and many innocent people were killed. I cannot do anything about it but pray to God.
