49:10 1 And if two parties of believers fight against each other, make peace between them; then if after that one of them transgresses against the other, fight the party that transgresses until it returns to the command of Allah. Then if it returns, make peace between them with equity, and act justly. Verily, Allah loves the just. Surely all believers are brothers. So make peace between brothers, and fear Allah that mercy may be shown to you. O you who believe! Let not one people deride another people, who may be better than they, nor let women deride other women, who may be better than they. Do not slander your own people, nor taunt each other with nicknames. It is bad indeed to earn foul reputation after professing the faith; and those who repent not are the wrongdoers. O you who believe! Avoid too frequent indulgence in suspicion; for suspicions are certainly sin. And spy not, nor back-bite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his brother who is dead? Certainly you would loathe it. And fear Allah, surely, Allah is Oft-Returning with compassion and is Merciful (Surah al-Hujurat, 49:10–13). [Publisher]

44:5 5 Know that the Quran is full of prophecies about the future and news of the great events to come, and that it guides people to tranquillity and certainty. Its camels are always ready to carry the seekers of truth, and its stream gushes forth to feed the thirsty at all times. It is a blessed tree that brings forth fresh fruit at all times. Its clustered fruits are always brought within easy reach of the harvester. Never is there a time when it is empty of fruit or when its grape and date trees are barren, rather it bears fruit in all seasons. It nourishes those who seek nourishment. Its greatest miracle is that it leaves nothing out, whether it is what benefits people or harms them, provided that it is of great significance. Allah says: [In it all wise things are decided—(Surah ad-Dukhan, 44:5)] Here, the All-Knowing Lord indicates that everything that is decided on the Night of Destiny is written in the Quran, the Book of Allah, the Lord of Majesty. It was sent down fully on the Night of Destiny and that night was blessed with it by the command of the All-Knowing One. All the miracles of those Nights are caused by the blessings of the coming down of this blessed scripture. The Quran is the worthiest of these qualities, for it is the starting point of these blessings, and the Night is only blessed by the Lord of all beings because of the Quran. Therefore, the Quran ascribes to itself the qualities that are found in the Night of Destiny. Indeed, the Night is like a crescent while the Quran is the full moon. This is something for Muslims to be grateful for and proud of.
