Preface

Purpose of this book provide the reader a resource containing all verses from the Qur'an which focus on the positive and negative moral attributes of mankind. Thus enabling the reader to actively practice and/or engage in positive attributes and actively remove and/or avoid the negative attributes. The optimal result is being a progressive and morally conscious human being.

If all of humanity collectively followed the positive attributes contained within this book alone, reasonably, our collective environment would be positively affected and progressive. If humanity fails to adhere to any moral principles or displays a preferred tendency toward the negative attributes listed, we should expect our collective environment to be negative and regressive.

As human beings we all observe the world around us. Some of us critically observe and others blankly observe. If you, the reader consider yourself "observant" you will recognize these attributes within yourself and within the environments you frequent in daily life.

A simple universal example of attributes that few human beings would dispute is recognizing lying as a negative attribute and telling the truth as a positive attribute.

No one can deny if we want to be good people, we must know what attributes a good person actually exhibits. Once we know the attributes, we can implement them in our lives. With this is mind, if we would like to avoid exhibiting attributes of bad people, we must know what attributes a bad person actually exhibits.

Logically, if a person actively exhibits good attributes, but has no knowledge of bad attributes, they would be at risk of engaging with or acquiring the bad attributes and thus lowering the overall good potential they exhibit.

However, if that same person had knowledge of bad attributes they could easily recognize and guard against those circumstances. We can agree having knowledge of both the good and the bad is most beneficial to remain on the side of good. This is the best position a person can be in.

Whereas, a person who knows neither the good nor the bad is most lacking in knowledge and has no basis for any interpretation of defining to them- self what good or bad is at all. This is the worst position a person can be in.

The purpose of this book is to give both sets of attributes to the reader. The final result is being a morally progressive conscious human being. Each human being who aims to progressively reform his morality becomes an emissary of a morally united collective society.

Chapter#: Verse# | Full Verse | Positive Attributes | Negative Attributes

This format allows to the reader to quickly recognize all attributes in 'point form' within and make an effort towards gathering the righteous attributes and make an effort of distancing away from the attributes of failure. If attributes within a verse are revealed in a ‘staggered’ formation as seen in (39:57) below, a ( ; ) semicolon is used for this distinction.

39:55 And follow the Best that which was revealed to you from your Lord, before the Chastisement comes on you- of a sudden, while ye perceive not!- follow the Best that which was revealed to you from your Lord;

39:56
Lest the soul should (then) say: 'Ah! Woe is me!- In that I neglected (my Duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked!' neglected (Duty) towards Allah, and was but among those who mocked;

39:57
Or (lest) it should say: 'If only Allah had guided me, I should certainly have been among the righteous!'- Allah had guided; been among the righteous;

39:58
Or (lest) it should say when it (actually) sees the Chastisement: 'If only I had another chance, I should certainly be among those who do good!' ...those who do good;

39:59
(The reply will be:) 'Nay, but there came to thee My Signs, and thou didst reject them: thou wast Haughty, and became one of those who reject Faith! ...but there came to thee My Signs, and thou didst reject them: thou wast Haughty, and became one of those who reject Faith;

39:60
On the Day of Judgment wilt thou see those who told lies against Allah;- their faces will be turned black; is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty? ...those who told lies against Allah;- their faces will be turned black; is there not in Hell an abode for the Haughty;

39:61
But Allah will deliver the righteous for they have earned salvation: no evil shall touch them, nor shall they grieve. ...Allah will deliver the righteous for they have earned salvation;
