Example 3 Social commitment
6151-165

.......
6-152
And come not nigh to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice; no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear; whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the Covenant of Allah thus doth He command you, that ye may remember.
.......
6-162
Say "Truly, my SALAT and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds
.........

also in chapter 107

Seest thou one who denies the Deen (system)?
Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),
And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.
So woe to the worshippers (Mussalin)
Who are neglectful of their SALAT,
Those who (want but) to be seen (of men),
But refuse (to supply) (Even) neighbourly needs.

Example 4 Business, Economic Commitment
6152

1185-87

1185
"And O my people! Give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due commit not evil in the land with intent to do mischief.
1186
That which is left you by Allah is best for you, if ye (but) believed! But I am not set over you to keep watch!"
1187
They said "Oh Shuayb! does thy (religion of) prayer command thee that we leave off the worship which our fathers practised or that we leave off doing what we like with our property? Truly, thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!"
