What are your most important values?

Haisam

Muslims are taught it is most important to respect and honour God, the Prophets and the Holy Book – the Quran.  There are also other important values like worshipping God by praying and giving charity.  One of the most important values of being a Muslim is to have excellent character.  This means thinking, acting and talking in an excellent way that does not hurt or reject others, including being polite, respecting elders and teachers, giving people a fair go, being generous and helping those less fortunate.  Islam also teaches us that standing up for one's rights is very important and only with justice can we have peace.
