He said that many virtues and good character traits and moral qualities such as kindness (to people and animals), charity, forgiveness, honesty, patience, justice, respecting parents and elders, keeping promises and controlling one's anger, are commanded or encouraged in verses in the Qur’an an, enjoining Muslims to make the Qur’an the compass in their lives.
The Qur’an, he said, advocates many values that shape one’s intellectualism, adding that most importantly, these values enable adherents to be more tolerant and upright.
