Refrain from Stinginess

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good, and to relatives, orphans, the needy, the near neighbour, the neighbour farther away, the companion at your side, the traveller, and those whom your right hands possess. Indeed, Allah does not like those who are self-deluding and boastful. Who are stingy and enjoin upon other people stinginess and conceal what Allah has given them of His bounty, and We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment. Qur'an 4.36-37

Judge with Justice

Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed Allah is ever Hearing and Seeing. Qur'an 4.58

To Fight In the Cause of God

And what is the matter with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, “Our Lord take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper. Qur'an 4.75

Greet With One Better

And when you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with one better than it or return it in a like manner. Indeed Allah is ever, over all things, an accountant. Qur'an 4.86

Stand Firm for Justice

O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah is more worthy of both. So follow not inclination. Lest you not be just. And if you distort or refuse, then indeed Allah is ever, with what you do, acquainted. Qur'an 4.135

Pardon an Offence

Allah does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And ever is Allah hearing and knowing. If you show good or conceal it or pardon an offence, indeed Allah is ever pardoning and competent. Qur'an 4.147-148
