We are answerable to God in the eternal life after death for our actions on earth. ""Seek provisions from God (alone), worship Him (alone), and give Him thanks: you will all be returned to Him (after you die)."" - Quran Chapter 29: Verse 17 - Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him)Respect all humans- "A funeral passed by and Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) stood up. People told the Prophet, “It is (the funeral of) a Jew.” The Prophet said: “Was he not a living being (soul)?” Every person, dead or alive, irrespective of their religion, caste, skin color and ethnicity deserves respect."- Bukhari # 1313Rights of the Minorities - The Jews are recognized as a community alongside Muslims. The Jews have the right to practice their religion and the Muslims have the right to practice their religion. The Muslims are against anyone who does acts of injustice or promotes transgression or evil. They shall all unite against that person even if that person is a Muslim. - Constitution of Medina (enacted under the leadership of Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him))Treatment of Minorities - When Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) sent Muadh as the governor of Yemen which had Christians living as a minority, he advised him: "Be afraid of the curse of the oppressed, as there is no screen between their curse and God." (i.e don't think about oppressing them just because they are a minority, as God will accept the curse of the oppressed). - Bukhari # 2448Protection of non-Muslims - Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) said: ""Be careful! Whoever is cruel and oppresses a non-Muslim living under a Muslim rule, or restricts their rights, or burdens them beyond their capacity, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will argue for him (in support of the non-Muslim) on the Day of Judgment."" - Abu Dawud # 3052Prophet of Mercy - Some people asked the Prophet to curse the polytheists.

The Prophet then turned towards his enemies who had made several attempts to kill him and said: ""I speak to you in the same words as Prophet Joseph told his brothers: ""There is no blame on you today."" The Prophet then forgave his enemies. True forgiveness is when you have the full power to punish someone but you still choose to forgive. - Conquest of Makkah - Raheeq al MakhtumNo personal revenge - Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) never took revenge (over anybody) for his own sake but (he took revenge) only when God's sanctified legal boundaries were violated. - Bukhari # 3560Testimony of a Prophet's enemy - Abu Sufyan, then the archenemy of the Prophet, met with Heraclius the Byzantine emperor.

Abu Sufyan replied, 'No.' Heraclius asked: 'What does he order you to do?' Abu Sufyan replied: He tells us to worship God and God alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to give up all superstitions our ancestors had followed. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be morally pure and to keep good relations with our family and relatives. Abu Sufyan then said: ""By God! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet."" - Bukhari # 7Prophet's humility - A man came to the Prophet and his voice trembled out of awe as he spoke to him.
