In the Qur’an, the believers are described as in the verses below:

“The servants of Allah (Most Gracious) are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, `Peace!’”

Surat al-Furqan, 25:63

“And when they hear vain talk, they turn away therefrom and say: ‘To us our deed and to you yours; peace be to you:

we seek not the ignorant.’ ”

Surat al-Qasas, 28:55

Believers are innately peaceful, whereas those who disbelieve are extremely uneasy, restless and aggressive. It is as if their torment of hell had already started on earth. That is why they cause trouble and are also constantly faced with difficulties. However, believers do not even communicate with those people unless they attempt to give harm to the believers and Islam. They behave honorably, as the above verses describe. When intervention is necessary, they do notbehave rudely, but in the most civilized and lawabiding way.
