O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do.

Some amongst Muslims often quote the verses that seem to suggest that Muslims should not make non-Muslims as friends but according to these two verses of Surah Al-Mumtahanah it is clear that only those non-Muslims who fight Muslims and drive the out of their homes should be shunned. those who have done no harm to you should be dealt justly. Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly . Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers. [Surah Al-Mumtahanah:8-9 Sahih International translation]

Allah has made us trustee of treasures of the world. As a trustee we should spend according to the instructions given by Allah. Also, if it is not our wealth to begin with then why can't we spend it more for doing good deeds? To top it off Allah ask us to give him loan which He will repay many times over. What a deal!!! to get paid many times for money that actually not ours. Believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and spend of that whereof He has made you trustees. And such of you as believe and spend (in Allah's Way), theirs will be a great reward. [Surah Al-Hadeed: 7] And what is the matter with you that you spend not in the Cause of Allah? And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. Not equal among you are those who spent and fought before the conquering (of Makkah) (with those among you who did so later).

when you wake up, and at night but what is the meaning of "after the setting of the stars"? And exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord when you arise. And in a part of the night exalt Him and after [the setting of] the stars. [Surah At-Toor : 48:49 . Sahih International translation]

Some of the characteristics of Mutaqqeen: Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.They used to sleep but little of the night, And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness, And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived. [ Surah Ad-Dariyat: 15-19 ] Translation by Sahih International

O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Ye abhor that (so abhor the other)! And keep your duty (to Allah). Lo! Allah is Relenting, Merciful. [Surah Al-Hujurat: 12] translated by Pickthall

Making fun of others has reached new levels with the arrival of digital age. Quran tells us not to mock others, defame, or insult each other. O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong. [Surah Al-Hujurat : 11] translation by Yusuf Ali
