Make Peace and Reconciliation among the Contending Believers

Differences are inevitable among human beings. However, if two groups of believers (i.e. two families, two relatives, two neighbours, two parties, two ethnic groups, two countries, etc. or two individuals) fall out and fight each other, then make peace and reconciliation among them (instead of staying indifferent, or adding fuel to the fire). And should one of them commit aggression against the other, then fight the aggressor till it complies with Allah’s Command (and turns to peace and reconciliation). Then if it complies, then make peace between the fighting factions with equity and be just and impartial. Surely Allah loves those who do justice. The Believers are but a single brotherhood. So (it is your duty to) make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers. [Al-Quran Sura 49: Verses 9-10]

Perpetual Video-recording of Our Deeds

When the Earth will be shaken with a tremendous tremor, and the Earth will bring forth its entire burden (i.e. all the buried therein) and the mankind will cry out: “what is the matter with it?” On that day it will narrate all its records of events (pertaining to every action done on it, good or evil, open or secret), because your Lord would have transmitted it; On that day mankind will come forth in various groups so that they may be SHOWN (the video-recording of) all their deeds and actions; then whoever would have done an atom’s weight of good, shall SEE it; and whoever would have done an atom’s weight of bad thing, shall SEE it. [Al-Quran Sura 99: Verses 1-8]
Then he, whose balance (of good deeds) will be heavy, will have a life of pleasure and satisfaction. But he, whose balance (of good deeds) will be light, will have an abode in a bottomless pit. And what will make you understand what that bottomless pit is? It is terribly hot fire. [Al-Quran Sura 101: Verses 6-11]
