Where is the Golden Rule in the Quran?
-
Salam alaikum
If someone can show me the Golden Rule "treat others as you wish to be treated" from the Quran I will personally send them a cheque for $1000 US.
However if you admit that the Golden Rule is not to be found in the Pure Quran, then you will have to admit that the text of the Quran is missing very important moral lessons and requires Hadith.
You are follower of wahhabi death cult or what?? - They are the only "muslims" who don't "treat others as you wish to be treated". Like killing atheists rotfl

Golden Rule?? hmm NICE term indeed.

You didn't understand the Golden Rule "treat others as you would have them treat you".
Having justice, kindness, helping orphans etc., all of these are good things - but they are not the Golden Rule principle. Please understand this very important point - the Golden Rule is never stated in the Quran, only in Hadith.
Grand Qur'aan lays down diamond rules. See this
You turn back the evil misconduct-conjecture-hearsay with that conduct and discourse which is most beautifully poised-the best conduct.

And let not those of virtue among you and wealth swear not to give to their relatives and the needy and the emigrants for the cause of Allah , and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Sahih International612-3
O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?
Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do.
Sahih International588
Allah will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for what you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people from the average of that which you feed your families or clothing them or the freeing of a slave. But whoever cannot find - then a fast of three days . That is the expiation for oaths when you have sworn. But guard your oaths. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be grateful.
Sahih InternationalPlease send the thousand dollars through paypal to admin mohf nl, that is, if you are truthfull.
But my experience tells me that Hadithers would never do that; its a sin for Hadithers to give money to jews, christians, mushrikeen, kafireen ... Including Quranists, because they do not believe in Abu Hurairah.

Peace Maha,
I think implicit in the Golden Rule is doing good. For example, if one says patiently perserving refers to patiently doing evil... that would be a completely wrong interpretation of the message. We would say patience is a good goal to work towards and we would mean for good ends.
A general point
In the West, (this can apply to the whole world as well) where the Golden rule has apparently been predominant in Christianity, has this been applied? Imperialism has been used to plunder the resources of other nations to create wealth. Wars and complete disregard for human life - especially on different ethnic, religious etc grounds. Sanctions applied in such a way that brutalise people.
Total lack of environmentalism - in the form of lack of reuse and recycling, to pollution and wasting resources. Fashion is actually a huge one in that regard because so much is wasted in the process of updating let alone the resources it takes to create things. Water is used for everything, and there's a lot more water used to create jeans etc than you might assume. Water is a very precious resource. I think we should also treat the environment with respect and I believe this is also part of the 'golden rule' in the Quran.
Wealth and prosperity are so greatly admired or sought after by people in general both in modern times and the past they forget the Quran's message. But wealth, as I mentioned can be gained in the worst ways... would we want others to do this to us? And then others still admire the wealth we have? Haman (I think it is although it could be someone else) is admired by people for his wealth. However, he loses it all and I think he dies at the same time. And the believers say, it is not the wealth we should admire and they refer to God swt and belief in the last day and that Haman did not care about that.
So in practice, has the Golden Rule been applied by those who say it is apparently more explicit in their scriptures? Or at least, it has been held in the traditions etc of the nation? Maybe that's something that should also considered a bit.

I am afraid that you have quoted the aayat wrong. Please add aayat nos. whenever you quote any aayat. I think you have quoted, if not please correct me.

Salamun alaika,
Ref of Ayah No is given in my post 2396
For Bender your quote read with 2396 can provide a lesson for knowing elided words. In your quote object of the verb is elided thought evidently understood by the reader who knows grammar and mutual relatioship of words in a sentence. Elided words must be translated by reference to other sentences of Qur'aan.

Well I agree with you but I dont see anywhere where the golden rule has been applied properly, do you?
And what if someone is self destructive... how would he understand the golden rule ???

None of those verses have the Golden Rule "Treat others as you wish to be treated"
Not even close

What about worshipping one God? Isn't it obvious?

Who made this golden rule? Allah? If not, then that is NOT the golden rule.
Now comes to your question. Do you mean if I feed a poor, do I expect from him the same? Is this what YOUR golden rule is?
May Allah open our hearts to understand the Truth pr

mmKhanGood question. The Golden Rule would mean that you should feed a poor person because if you yourself were poor and hungry you would like others to help you and give you food out of kindness.
See how beautiful the Golden Rule is. Problem is Golden Rule is never mentioned in Quran, only in Hadith. Alhamdulillah.
