Understanding the Kashmiri Muslim

When a (courteous) greeting
Is offered you, meet it
With a greeting still more
Courteous, or (at least)
Of equal courtesy.
God takes careful account
Of all things. The Holy Qur'an S. IV. 86.

Understanding the Kashmiri Muslim

"It is God Who causeth
The seed-grain
And the date-stone
To split and sprout.
He causeth the living
To issue from the dead,
And He is the One
To cause the dead
To issue from the living.
That is God: then how
Are ye deluded
Away from the truth?"

The Holy Qur'an S. VI. 95.

The Needy

Alms are for the poor
And the needy, and those
Employed to administer the (funds);
For those whose hearts
Have been (recently) reconciled
(To Truth); for those in bondage
And in debt; in the cause
Of God; and for the wayfarer;
(Thus is it) ordained by God,
And God is full of knowledge
And wisbom. The Holy Qur'an S. IX. 60
