Allah (Subhana Wa Ta`ala) has directly given us 100 instructions through Al Quran :

1) Do not be rude in speech (3:159)

It was by the mercy of Allah that thou wast lenient with them (O Muhammad), for if thou hadst been stern and fierce of heart they would have dispersed from round about thee. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs. And when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those who put their trust (in Him).	Fabimā Raĥmatin Mina Allāhi Linta Lahum Wa Law Kunta Fažžāan Ghalīža Al-Qalbi Lānfađđū Min Ĥawlika Fā`fu `Anhum Wa Astaghfir Lahum Wa Shāwirhum Fī Al-‘Amri Fa’idhā `Azamta Fatawakkal `Alá Allāhi ‘Inna Allāha Yuĥibbu Al-Mutawakkilīna

2) Restrain Anger (3:134)

3.134	Those who spend (of that which Allah hath given them) in ease and in adversity, those who control their wrath and are forgiving toward mankind; Allah loveth the good;	Al-Ladhīna Yunfiqūna Fī As-Sarrā’i Wa Ađ-Đarrā’i Wa Al-Kāžimīna Al-Ghayža Wa Al-`Āfīna `Ani An-Nāsi Wa Allāhu Yuĥibbu Al-Muĥsinīna

3) Be good to others (Parents,traveller,Neighbour ,Slaves,Orphan )(4:36)

4.36	And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful,	Wa A`budū Allāha Wa Lā Tushrikū Bihi Shay’āan Wa Bil-Wālidayni ‘Iĥsānāan Wa Bidhī Al-Qurbá Wa Al-Yatāmá Wa Al-Masākīni Wa Al-Jāri Dhī Al-Qurbá Wa Al-Jāri Al-Junubi Wa Aş-Şāĥibi Bil-Janbi Wa Abni As-Sabīli Wa Mā Malakat ‘Aymānukum ‘Inna Allāha Lā Yuĥibbu Man Kāna Mukhtālāan Fakhūrāan

4) Do not be arrogant (7:13)

7.13	He said: Then go down hence! It is not for thee to show pride here, so go forth! Lo! thou art of those degraded.	Qāla Fāhbiţ Minhā Famā Yakūnu Laka ‘An Tatakabbara Fīhā Fākhruj ‘Innaka Mina Aş-Şāghirīna

5)Forgive others for their mistakes (7:199)

7.199	Keep to forgiveness (O Muhammad), and enjoin kindness, and turn away from the ignorant.	Khudhi Al-`Afwa Wa ‘Mur Bil-`Urfi Wa ‘A`riđ `Ani Al-Jāhilīna

6) Speak to people mildly (20:44)

20.44	And speak unto him a gentle word, that peradventure he may heed or fear.	Faqūlā Lahu Qawlāan Layyināan La`allahu Yatadhakkaru ‘Aw Yakhshá

7) Lower your voice (31:19)

31.19	Be modest in thy bearing and subdue thy voice. Lo! the harshest of all voices is the voice of the ass.	Wāqşid Fī Mashyika Wa Aghđuđ Min Şawtika ‘Inna ‘Ankara Al-‘Aşwāti Laşawtu Al-Ĥamīri

8) Do not ridicule others (49:11)

49.11	O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth not in repentance, such are evil-doers.	Yā ‘Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Lā Yaskhar Qawmun Min Qawmin `Asá ‘An Yakūnū Khayrāan Minhum Wa Lā Nisā’un Min Nisā’in `Asá ‘An Yakunna Khayrāan Minhunna Wa Lā Talmizū ‘Anfusakum Wa Lā Tanābazū Bil-‘Alqābi Bi’sa Al-Aismu Al-Fusūqu Ba`da Al-‘Īmāni Wa Man Lam Yatub Fa’ūlā’ika Humu Až-Žālimūna

9). Be dutiful to parents(17:23)

17.24	And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little.	Wa Akhfiđ Lahumā Janāĥa Adh–Dhulli Mina Ar-Raĥmati Wa Qul Rrabbi Arĥamhumā Kamā Rabbayānī Şaghīrāan

10) Do not say a word of disrespect to parents (17:23)

17.24	And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little.	Wa Akhfiđ Lahumā Janāĥa Adh–Dhulli Mina Ar-Raĥmati Wa Qul Rrabbi Arĥamhumā Kamā Rabbayānī Şaghīrāan

Do not enter parents’ private room without asking permission (24:58)

24.58	O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come into your presence): Before the prayer of dawn, and when ye lay aside your raiment for the heat of noon, and after the prayer of night. Three times of privacy for you. It is no sin for them or for you at other times, when some of you go round attendant upon others (if they come into your presence without leave). Thus Allah maketh clear the revelations for you. Allah is Knower, Wise.	Yā ‘Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Liyasta’dhinkumu Al-Ladhīna Malakat ‘Aymānukum Wa Al-Ladhīna Lam Yablughū Al-Ĥuluma Minkum Thalātha Marrātin Min Qabli Şalāati Al-Fajri Wa Ĥīna Tađa`ūna Thiyā Bakum Mina Až-Žahīrati Wa Min Ba`di Şalāati Al-`Ishā’i Thalāthu `Awrātin Lakum Laysa `Alaykum Wa Lā `Alayhim Junāĥun Ba`dahunna Ţawwāfūna `Alaykum Ba`đukum `Alá Ba`đin Kadhālika Yubayyinu Allāhu Lakumu Al-‘Āyā Ti Wa Allāhu `Alīmun Ĥakīmun

Write down the debt (2:282)

Do not follow anyone blindly (2:170)

2.170	And when it is said unto them: Follow that which Allah hath revealed, they say: We follow that wherein we found our fathers. What! Even though their fathers were wholly unintelligent and had no guidance?	Wa ‘Idhā Qīla Lahum Attabi`ū Mā ‘Anzala Allāhu Qālū Bal Nattabi`u Mā ‘Alfaynā `Alayhi ‘Ābā’anā ‘Awalaw Kāna ‘Ābā’uuhum Lā Ya`qilūna Shay’āan Wa Lā Yahtadūna

Grant more time to repay if the debtor is in hard time (2:280)

2.280	And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.	Wa ‘In Kāna Dhū `Usratin Fanažiratun ‘Ilá Maysaratin Wa ‘An Taşaddaqū Khayrun Lakum ‘In Kuntum Ta`lamūna

Don’t consume interest (2:275)

2.275	Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) – Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein.

Do not engage in bribery (2:188)

2.188	And eat not up your property among yourselves in vanity, nor seek by it to gain the hearing of the judges that ye may knowingly devour a portion of the property of others wrongfully.	Wa Lā Ta’kulū ‘Amwālakum Baynakum Bil-Bāţili Wa Tudlū Bihā ‘Ilá Al-Ĥukkāmi Lita’kulū Farīqāan Min ‘Amwāli An-Nāsi Bil-‘Ithmi Wa ‘Antum Ta`lamūna

Do not break the promise (2:177)

2.177	It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets; and giveth wealth, for love of Him, to kinsfolk and to orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and to those who ask, and to set slaves free; and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due. And those who keep their treaty when they make one, and the patient in tribulation and adversity and time of stress. Such are they who are sincere. Such are the Allah-fearing.	Laysa Al-Birra ‘An Tuwallū Wujūhakum Qibala Al-Mashriqi Wa Al-Maghribi Wa Lakinna Al-Birra Man ‘Āmana Billāhi Wa Al-Yawmi Al-‘Ākhiri Wa Al-Malā’ikati Wa Al-Kitābi Wa An-Nabīyīna Wa ‘Ātá Al-Māla `Alá Ĥubbihi Dhawī Al-Qurbá Wa Al-Yatāmá Wa Al-Masākīna Wa Abna As-Sabīli Wa As-Sā’ilīna Wa Fī Ar-Riqābi Wa ‘Aqāma Aş-Şalāata Wa ‘Ātá Az-Zakāata Wa Al-Mūfūna Bi`ahdihim ‘Idhā `Āhadū Wa Aş-Şābirīna Fī Al-Ba’sā’i Wa Ađ-Đarrā’i Wa Ĥīna Al-Ba’si ‘Ūlā’ika Al-Ladhīna Şadaqū Wa ‘Ūlā’ika Humu Al-Muttaqūna

Keep the trust (2:283)

2.283	If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do.	Wa ‘In Kuntum `Alá Safarin Wa Lam Tjidū Kātibāan Farihānun Maqbūđatun Fa’in ‘Amina Ba`đukum Ba`đāan Falyu’uaddi Al-Ladhī A’utumina ‘Amānatahu Wa Līattaqi Allāha Rabbahu Wa Lā Taktumū Ash–Shahādata Wa Man Yaktumhā Fa’innahu ‘Āthimun Qalbuhu Wa Allāhu Bimā Ta`malūna `Alīmun

Do not mix the truth with falsehood (2:42)

Confound not truth with falsehood, nor knowingly conceal the truth.	Wa Lā Talbisū Al-Ĥaqqa Bil-Bāţili Wa Taktumū Al-Ĥaqqa Wa ‘Antum Ta`lamūna

Judge with justice between people (4:58)

4.58	Lo! Allah commandeth you that ye restore deposits to their owners, and, if ye judge between mankind, that ye judge justly. Lo! comely is this which Allah admonisheth you. Lo! Allah is ever Hearer, Seer.	‘Inna Allāha Ya’murukum ‘An Tu’uaddū Al-‘Amānāti ‘Ilá ‘Ahlihā Wa ‘Idhā Ĥakamtum Bayna An-Nāsi ‘An Taĥkumū Bil-`Adli ‘Inna Allāha Ni`immā Ya`ižukum Bihi ‘Inna Allāha Kāna Samī`āan Başīrāan

Stand out firmly for justice (4:135)

4.135	O ye who believe! Be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah, even though it be against yourselves or (your) parents or (your) kindred, whether (the case be of) a rich man or a poor man, for Allah is nearer unto both (them ye are). So follow not passion lest ye lapse (from truth) and if ye lapse or fall away, then lo! Allah is ever Informed of what ye do.	Yā ‘Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Kūnū Qawwāmīna Bil-Qisţi Shuhadā’a Lillāhi Wa Law `Alá ‘Anfusikum ‘Awi Al-Wālidayni Wa Al-‘Aqrabīna ‘In Yakun Ghanīyāan ‘Aw Faqīrāan Fa-Allāhu ‘Awlá Bihimā Falā Tattabi`ū Al-Hawá ‘An Ta`dilū Wa ‘In Talwū ‘Aw Tu`riđū Fa’inna Allāha Kāna Bimā Ta`malūna Khabīrāan

Wealth of the dead should be distributed among his family members (4:7)

4.7	Unto the men (of a family) belongeth a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, and unto the women a share of that which parents and near kindred leave, whether it be little or much – a legal share.	Lilrrijāli Naşībun Mimmā Taraka Al-Wālidāni Wa Al-‘Aqrabūna Wa Lilnnisā’i Naşībun Mimmā Taraka Al-Wālidāni Wa Al-‘Aqrabūna Mimmā Qalla Minhu ‘Aw Kathura Naşībāan Mafrūđāan

Women also have the right for inheritance (4:7)

Do not devour the property of orphans (4:10)

4.10	Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame.	‘Inna Al-Ladhīna Ya’kulūna ‘Amwāla Al-Yatāmá Žulmāan ‘Innamā Ya’kulūna Fī Buţūnihim Nārāan Wa Sayaşlawna Sa`īrāan

Protect orphans (2:220)

2.220	Upon the world and the Hereafter. And they question thee concerning orphans. Say: To improve their lot is best. And if ye mingle your affairs with theirs, then (they are) your brothers.

Try for settlement between people (49:9)

49.9	And if two parties of believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them. And if one party of them doeth wrong to the other, fight ye that which doeth wrong till it return unto the ordinance of Allah; then, if it return, make peace between them justly, and act equitably. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.

Avoid suspicion (49:12)

49.12	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.	Yā ‘Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna ‘Āmanū Ajtanibū Kathīrāan Mina Až-Žanni ‘Inna Ba`đa Až-Žanni ‘Ithmun Wa Lā Tajassasū Wa Lā Yaghtab Ba`đukum Ba`đāan ‘Ayuĥibbu ‘Aĥadukum ‘An Ya’kula Laĥma ‘Akhīhi Maytāan Fakarihtumūhu Wa Attaqū Allāha ‘Inna Allāha Tawwābun Raĥīmun

107.3	And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.	Wa Lā Yaĥuđđu `Alá Ţa`āmi Al-Miskīni

Help those in need by finding them (2:273)

2.273	(Alms are) for the poor who are straitened for the cause of Allah, who cannot travel in the land (for trade). The unthinking man accounteth them wealthy because of their restraint. Thou shalt know them by their mark: They do not beg of men with importunity. And whatsoever good thing ye spend, lo! Allah knoweth it.

Do not invalidate charity with reminders (2:264)

2.264	O ye who believe! Render not vain your almsgiving by reproach and injury, like him who spendeth his wealth only to be seen of men and believeth not in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is as the likeness of a rock whereon is dust of earth; a rainstorm smiteth it, leaving it smooth and bare. They have no control of aught of that which they have gained. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.

Do not commit abuse on the earth (2:60)

2.60	And when Moses asked for water for his people, We said: Smite with thy staff the rock. And there gushed out therefrom twelve springs (so that) each tribe knew their drinking-place. Eat and drink of that which Allah hath provided, and do not act corruptly, making mischief in the earth.

Do not prevent people from mosques (2:114)

2.114	And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of Allah lest His name should be mentioned therein, and striveth for their ruin. As for such, it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom.

Keep the etiquettes of war (2:191)

2.191	And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

No compulsion in religion (2:256)

2.256	There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.

Believe in all prophets (2:285)

2.285	The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers – We make no distinction between any of His messengers – and they say: We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying.	‘Āmana Ar-Rasūlu Bimā ‘Unzila ‘Ilayhi Min Rabbihi Wa Al-Mu’uminūna Kullun ‘Āmana Billāhi Wa Malā’ikatihi Wa Kutubihi Wa Rusulihi Lā Nufarriqu Bayna ‘Aĥadin Min Rusulihi Wa Qālū Sami`nā Wa ‘Aţa`nā Ghufrānaka Rabbanā Wa ‘Ilayka Al-Maşīru

Do not have sexual intercourse during menstrual period (2:222)

2.222	They question thee (O Muhammad) concerning menstruation. Say: It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them till they are cleansed. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah hath enjoined upon you. Truly Allah loveth those who turn unto Him, and loveth those who have a care for cleanness.	Wa Yas’alūnaka `Ani Al-Maĥīđi Qul Huwa ‘Adháan Fā`tazilū An-Nisā’ Fī Al-Maĥīđi Wa Lā Taqrabūhunna Ĥattá Yaţhurna Fa’idhā Taţahharna Fa’tūhunna Min Ĥaythu ‘Amarakumu Allāhu ‘Inna Allāha Yuĥibbu At-Tawwābīna Wa Yuĥibbu Al-Mutaţahhirīna

Breast feed your children for two complete years (2:233)

2.233

Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the suckling. The duty of feeding and clothing nursing mothers in a seemly manner is upon the father of the child. No-one should be charged beyond his capacity. A mother should not be made to suffer because of her child, nor should he to whom the child is born (be made to suffer) because of his child. And on the (father´s) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they desire to wean the child by mutual consent and (after) consultation, it is no sin for them; and if ye wish to give your children out to nurse, it is no sin for you, provide that ye pay what is due from you in kindness. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is Seer of what ye do.

Do not even approach unlawful sexual intercourse (17:32)

17.32	And come not near unto adultery. Lo! it is an abomination and an evil way.	Wa Lā Taqrabū Az-Ziná ‘Innahu Kāna Fāĥishatan Wa Sā’a Sabīlāan

Choose rulers by their merit (2:247)

2.247	Their prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.	Wa Qāla Lahum Nabīyuhum ‘Inna Allāha Qad Ba`atha Lakum Ţālūta Malikāan Qālū ‘Anná Yakūnu Lahu Al-Mulku `Alaynā Wa Naĥnu ‘Aĥaqqu Bil-Mulki Minhu Wa Lam Yu’uta Sa`atan Mina Al-Māli Qāla ‘Inna Allāha Aşţafāhu `Alaykum Wa Zādahu Basţatan Fī Al-`Ilmi Wa Al-Jismi Wa Allāhu Yu’utī Mulkahu Man Yashā’u Wa Allāhu Wāsi`un `Alīmun

Do not burden a person beyond his scope (2:286)

2.286	Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.

Do not become divided (3:103)

3.103	And hold fast, all of you together, to the cable of Allah, and do not separate. And remember Allah´s favour unto you: How ye were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by His grace; and (how) ye were upon the brink of an abyss of fire, and He did save you from it. Thus Allah maketh clear His revelations unto you, that haply ye may be guided,	Wa A`taşimū Biĥabli Allāhi Jamī`āan Wa Lā Tafarraqū Wa Adhkurū Ni`mata Allāhi `Alaykum ‘Idh Kuntum ‘A`dā’an Fa’allafa Bayna Qulūbikum Fa’aşbaĥtum Bini`matihi ‘Ikhwānāan Wa Kuntum `Alá Shafā Ĥufratin Mina An-Nāri Fa’anqadhakum Minhā Kadhālika Yubayyinu Allāhu Lakum ‘Āyātihi La`allakum Tahtadūna
